A young boy was sitting in the back seat of the car eating an apple. Hw asked his father, “Why does my apple turn brown?” His father answered,”“When the skin is removed, air reaches the flesh of the apple causes oxidarion. This changes the apple’s molecular structure and results in a brownish color.”The boy asked,“Dad，what are you
talking about?”
I know how that boy feels. Sometimes I want answers to some of those confusing questions that we all meet with, such as how to get through difficult times or what to do in a tough situation. I just want to get it right.
The problem is that I don’t always have the answer I need. Nobody else seems to have them, either. So I go on making mistakes and think that I’ll never get it right.
Often I didn’t know what to do. I often made poor choices, but I gradually improved. Then I realized that I don’t HAVE TO always get it right. I don’t have to always know what to do all the time. All I really need to do is try my best, learn from my mistakes and go on.
Dr. Leo Buscaglia once said, “ No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate and love is now. That would be pretty hard to do when you’re waiting for all the answers first.”
So you got it wrong. You made a mistake. So what should you do next? Forgive yourself and try again. You may not get out of this world alive, but you can get plenty of life out of this world if you are not too worried about always getting it right.

(答案→)D
解析：我们是否应该在一开始就告诉孩子们所有正确的答案？我们是否应该追求没有错误、一直正确？作者通过自己对儿子关于苹果为什么会变成棕色的解答来表明，犯错是必要的，重要的是在错误后继续追求正确的真理。
【小题1】主旨大意题。作者写对儿子解释苹果变成棕色是为了引出下文。故选D。
【小题2】细节理解题。由“The boy asked,“Dad，what are you talking about?””可知，儿子不知道爸爸在说什么，也就是他感觉理解起来很困难。故选C。
【小题3】细节理解题。Dr. Leo Buscaglia的意思是人们不能活着离开这个世界，所以要在现在去生活，去学习，去关心，去分享，去庆祝和去爱。但是一开始就等待答案的话是很困难的。因此A项“我们可以在享受生活的同时探索答案”最为贴切。其他三项都过于片面。故选A。
【小题4】主旨大意题。文章的主旨是要告诉我们不要一开始就急于寻找正确的答案，真理往往在我们的尝试和失败中而来。因此B项“我们可以从错误中学习并再次尝试”最符合。故选B。
【小题5】推理判断题。A项“小说”，B项“新闻”，C项“诗歌”，D项“散文随笔”。由文章论述的口吻推断应该是议论类的文章。故选D。
