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 asif life should be easy.It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering espe-cially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nations.
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one.
Problems, depending on their natures, cause 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 cau-ses endless serious problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Yes, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.Problems are theserious tests that tell us success from failure.When we desire to encourage the growth of humanspirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for ourchildren to resolve.It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.AsBenjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct." It is for this reason that wise peoplelearn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.

A.everybody has problems
B.we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life

Forty-thousand of the world' s young children die every day.This is 15 million a year.Manyof these deaths can be prevented.In fact, experts say, techniques now exist to save the lives of half of these children.The techniques are medically effective, simple to use and low cost.The big- gest task has been to inform parents about these life-saving techniques.
Diarrhea(腹泻) is the main cause of deaths among children in developing countries.Diarrhea results when the body tries to clear itself of harmful bacteria(细菌).The body does this by getting out liquids, sometimes uncontrollably.If too much water, sugar and salt are lost in this way, the body cannot work normally.The child may die.
The United Nations Intemational Children' s Fund, UNICEF, introduces a technique.It uses a simple mixture of sugar and salt in water.The mixture does not stop diarrhea.But if used often as needed, it keeps fluid(体液) levels normal until the body has fought off the harmful bacteria.In Egypt, for example, the treatment was used in a children' s health care program in the province of Alexandria.It reduced by one-half the number of deaths caused by diarrhea.The technique has now been used throughout the country.
65、According to the passage, a large number of children can be saved only when__________.
