生活是很艱難的。
一旦我們瞭解並接受了它，生活就變得不再那麼難了，這是一個偉大的現實。但是很多人不能完全明白這個事實。相反，他們總是抱怨他們的問題和困難，好像生活應該是容易的。對他們來說，那些苦難代表了一種強加給他們的或是他們家人、朋友甚至國家的磨難。
面對和解決苦難的過程是痛苦的，這就讓生活變得艱難了。那些問題，由於本質不同，帶給我們悲傷、孤獨、遺憾、憤怒或是害怕。這些令人難受的感覺，總是像那些肉體的疼痛一樣帶給我們傷害。既然生活總要有無止境的嚴重問題要處理，生活於是就變得艱難，充滿了歡喜也有痛苦。
是的，就是在這個解決問題的過程中，生活變得有意義了。那些問題是嚴肅的考驗，從中我們知道失敗是成功之母。我們鼓勵人性的成長的同時，就是鼓勵人們提高解決問題的能力，就像我們在學校裡設定問題讓學生們解決一樣。正是在這些面對並解決問題的痛苦中，我們學習。本傑明·富蘭克林說過：“那些事情痛苦，但是有教育意義。”就是基於此，聰明的人學著不再懼怕困難，而是去迎接解決問題的苦難。

在世界的各個角落人們每天吃掉數百萬的漢堡包。漢堡包與熱狗和可口可樂一起構成了美國對國際飲食習慣最重大的貢獻。
“漢堡包”這個名字與火腿無關。據說漢堡包最初在19世紀50年代由德國人從漢堡城帶到美國。從那以後，漢堡包便成了一種流行的美國快餐。現在亞洲、歐洲和南美洲的年輕人已學會了邊走邊吃;一手拿漢堡包，一手拿軟飲料。在義大利和西班牙已有人對縮減通常的午餐休息表示憤怒。相反，年輕人已發現了一種不需停下來吃的`午餐。
然而，漢堡包有不足之處。注重健康的人不喜歡漢堡包裡的高含量的動物脂肪。他們認為節省的時間是對糟糕的健康付出的高昂代價。，漢堡包的包裝通常在許多大城市正引發嚴重的汙染問題。大的漢堡包公司為了生產廉價肉食，正破壞南美洲的雨林地區。那麼，漢堡包還要慶祝它的下一個世紀嗎?
答案及解析
D【解析】推理判斷題。題目詢問漢堡以怎樣的方式改變了人們的飲食習慣。通過對文章第三段的分析我們可以得知漢堡主要給人們帶來便利和節約時間。所以正確答案為D。
