Actually its far from easy. Growing up can be a real pain for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and arent allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just dont understand why we cant stay young forever. When we look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude (态度), we realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains! As a young girl my parents forced my sisters and me to do so many things that I never liked. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music, just because it was what they wanted me to do. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I realize that my parents and teachers were always pushing me along, not because they wanted me to suffer but because they wanted me to succeed in life. Theyve always wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves. Every moment of our lives we are either living or dying, so live life to its fullest! We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just small pains in life. They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no fear and live life like that. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps(凸块) on our road to success we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!24.According to Paragraph 1, we learn that when we are young, _.A.life is full of joyB.life is easy for usC.we know we can stay young foreverD.we sometimes cant do things we like25.When the author was young, she was forced by her parents to _.A.take music lessonsB.turn gains into painsC.look back on hardshipsD.live a successful life by suffering a lot26.What does the underlined phrase to its fullest mean?

Only one in 1,000 baby sea turtles survive to adulthood. From its home in the sand, it breaks its egg with an egg tooth. Its mother is not there to help it. Instead, it is greeted by crabs, coyotes, and dogs waiting to eat it for dinner. To survive, the baby turtle must hide in the sand until night. Then, it moves slowly to the sea.The small turtle must swim hard to reach the ocean waters. In the sea, it tries hard to find food. It must also keep itself from being food for fish.As dangerous as the sea turtles life is in the natural world, its most dangerous enemies are humans.
