The Diary of a Young Girl was written by a girl named Anne Frank. It is a true experience of a teenager in wartime（World War II，1939﹣1945）and it has also become a symbol of the victory of the human spirit.
Here's one of Anne's diaries.
Friday，10 September ，1943
Dear Kitty，
Mostly whenever I write to you，there are only pleasant things to report. Actually，they are more often unpleasant than pleasant things. However，now there is something wonderful going on. Last Wednesday evening，8 September，we sat around listening to the seven o'clock news and the first thing we heard was: “Here follows the best news of the whole war. Italy has capitulated(屈服，停止反抗)! " Italy's unconditional surrender（投降）! ! "Listeners，an hour ago，I had just finished writing when the wonderful news of Italy's capitulation came in. I can tell you that I have never deposited(放下)my notes in the waste paper basket with such joy !”
Still we have troubles，too，it's about Mr. Koophuis. As you know，we are all very fond of him，he is always cheerful and amazingly brave，although he is never well，has a lot of pain，and is not allowed to eat much or do much walking. " When Mr. Koophuis enters，the sun begins to shine. " Mommy said just recently，and she is quite right. Now he has had to go into the hospital for a very unpleasant operation and will have to stay there for at least four weeks. You really should have seen how he said good-bye to us just as usual- he might have simply been going out to do a bit of shopping.
Yours，
Anne

B
You have tried too hard but you don't succeed；you've made all your efforts but you don't get the results you want. What should you do？Give up and turn over a new page. Drop it like it's hot，and run in the opposite direction as fast as you can.
Do you feel surprised？What is wrong with giving up？Oh yes，we all have been trained and asked to work hard to achieve our dreams，and that is a good thing. The problem comes out when all these inspirational quotes(励志名言)start confusing us.
These messages tell people not to give up，but they don't tell you that it should only apply to(适用于)your true dreams. They tell people to "try and try again" until they succeed，but that amount of effort should only be put toward what people really want in life and they should never give up no matter what life goals they have. The rest is all just there to confuse you，distract(使分心)you，give you a headache and sadness，so don't let it happen.
If you are really not good at something，give it up and try to do something you like. Once you do something you like，you won't feel bored and also won't give it up. You know clearly what you want even the road to success is hard. So you need to know what you're good at. To find your talent，you need to observe(观察) the things around you and write down the things you're interested in on your notebook. Then you can search them on the Internet and know more about them. Asking your parents or friends for help is also a good idea because they can see something you can't. They can help you know yourself clearly.
Try to discover your talent，your ability and your skills. Find out what you are good at，what makes you happy and then work on it. If you do，no one would have to tell you or inspire you not to give up because when you love something，you keep trying until you get it right and the enthusiasm flows from within. Don't worry about what people will say or think. It's your life，so you have to love it and be your own boss.
( )1.Inspirational quotes are suitable for those who 　 　.
A. are successful B. have no life goals C. have true dreams D. never give up
( )2.Once you find something you like，you won't 　 　.
A. achieve your dreams B. feel bored or give up C. know yourself clearly D. continue it
( )3.Why can you ask your parents for help to find your talent？　 　
A. They can see something you can't. B. They are good at everything.
C. They are older than you. D. They know how to help you.
( )4.The underlined word "enthusiasm" in the passage means 　 　.
A. happiness B. curiosity C. ability D. warmth
