问题 Passage 1
I have wracked my mind and heart for what I ought to say to you today. I have asked myself what important lessons I have learned in the 21 years since I graduated. I have come up with two answers. On this wonderful day when we are gathered together to celebrate your academic success, I have decided to talk to you about the benefits of failure. And as you stand on the threshold of what is sometimes called "real life", I want to stress the crucial importance of imagination.
   So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won. Philosopher Seneca said: As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
选项
答案    我为今天的演讲内容绞尽了脑汁。我问自己，从毕业那天起到现在的21年间，我收获了哪些重要的教益。我想到了两个话题。在今天这个美好的日子，我们聚集在一起共同庆祝你们在学业上所取得的成就，我想跟你们谈一下失败的益处；而在你们即将迈人所谓的“现实生活”大门之际，我还想强调想象力的重要性。
   那么为什么我还要谈论失败的好处呢?因为失败意味着要抛弃那些不必要的东西。只有失败才能让我学会自省。只有经历逆境，你才会真正认识自己，真正了解身边的人。这种认识是真正的财富，虽然是用痛苦换来的。哲学家塞内加说：生活就像故事，不在于长短，而在于质量，这才是最重要的。
