Mark Twain was a famous American writer in his day. He liked to play jokes on his friends. One day one of his friends lost his wallet and asked Mark Twain to pay his train ticket for him.
“But I don't have enough money to pay both your ticket and mine，” Mark Twain said. The friend didn't know what to do.
“We can do this，” said Mark Twain. “We can get on the train and when the conductor comes to check the tickets, you can hide under my seat.”
Later, however, when the conductor came to check the tickets, Mark Twain gave him two tickets — one for himself and one for his friend. Then he explained in a loud voice, “My friend is a strange man. When he travels on a train, he does not like to sit on the seat.

Life is difficult.
It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.
Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties represent (代表) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability (能力) to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
32．From the passage, it can be inferred that ________. A．everybody has problems
B．we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of life C．life is difficult because our problems bring us pain D．people like to complain about their problems 33．The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that ________. A．most people feel life is easy B．the writer feels life is easy
C．the writer likes to complain about his problems D．most people complain about how hard their lives are
34．According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to
________.
A．encourage them to learn
B．teach them to fear the pain of solving problems C．help them learn to deal with pain D．teach them how to respect for problems
35．The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct.” suggests that ________.
A．we do not learn from experience B．we do not learn when we are in pain C．pain teaches us important lessons D．pain cannot be avoided
