一、阅读理解
根据短文内容判断正、误。
There were once two brothers who lived on the 80th floor. On coming home one day, the lifts were not working and they had to climb the stairs home.
After struggling (挣扎)to the 20th floor, they decided to throw down their bags and come back for them the next day. They left their bags and climbed on. When they got to the 40th floor, the younger brother started to complain (抱怨) and both of them began to quarrel (吵架). They continued quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.
They then realized that they had only 20 floors to climb and decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home. Each stood before the door and waited for the other to open it. But they realized that the key was in their bags which were left on the 20th floor.
This story is like our life. Many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when we are young. We seldom get to do the things that we really love and are under so much stress that by the age of 20, we get tired and decide to drop something.
Free from the stress, we work excitely with dreams. But by the time we reach 40 years old, we start to lose our dreams. We begin to feel unsatisfied and start to complain. The life is hard as we are never satisfied. Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left for complaining any more, and we begin to walk the rest years in peace.
We think that there is nothing left to let us down, only to realize that we could not rest in peace because
we have an unfinished dream--a dream we threw down 60 years ago.
