What's the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard work; others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
If you arrange(排列)the 26 English letters in order and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c. . . 26 for z, you can change an English word into a number. So hard work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98，meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge:
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96;love:12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47，a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money? It can't, either.
Then what else? Don't be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself : attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark.
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most time people hope for a better life. It is possible that they will have a better life if they change their attitudes. When you change your manner and became friendly toward others, you'll meet more smiling faces toward you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude toward failure, you'll find it's also rewarding(有益的)though it has caused you losses(损失). 1．The writer thinks is the most important thing in a person's life. A．hard work C．money
B．knowledge D．attitude
2．What is the mark of the word. \A．73.
B．72.
C．75.
D．62.
3．From the passage we can learn that . A．different attitudes come from different courses of life
B．sometimes failure can bring you good if you take a positive attitude
C．math can solve every problem easily in our daily life D．none of the English words except \
