The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So fishing boats went farther than ever.but If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh. The Japanese did not like the taste.
Then fishing companies equipped their boats with freezers. They would freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish. 
So fishing boats were equipped with fish tanks. They would  stuff  fish in the tanks（水槽）,fin（ 鱼翅）to fin .After a little thrashing(颠簸) around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive. Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish.
To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state. The fish are challenged.
Have you realized that some of us are also living in a tank but most of the time tired & dull, so we need a Shark in our life to keep us awake and moving.  If your challenges are the correct size, and if you are regularly defeating those challenges, you are Conqueror. You think of your challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new solutions. You are alive! Here is some advice for you :
1. Instead of avoiding challenges, jump into them and enjoy the game. If your challenges are   too large or too numerous, do not give up. Instead, reorganize. Find more determination, more knowledge, more help.
2. God didn"t promise days without pain, laughter(笑) without sorrow, sun without rain, but he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.
3. Disappointments are like road blocks, they slow you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Don"t stay on the bumps too long. Move on!

试题分析：本文以日本渔船用鲨鱼保鲜鱼的方法为例子告诉我们保持生活中精力充沛的方法。日本渔船把鲨鱼和鱼一起养在水槽里，由于鲨鱼的攻击，使鱼生气勃勃。通过这个例子，我们可以明白一个道理，要想生活中精力充沛，需要面对一些挑战和困难。在面对困难时，我们不要放弃，应迎难而上，把克服困难所付出的痛苦当作是一种享受。
小题1:推理判断题。根据第二段的 Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer.可知冰箱可以使鱼保存的时间长，因此推断日本渔船安装冰箱为了给鱼保鲜。故选A。
小题2:细节理解题。根据第四段的To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks.可知日本渔船仍然用水槽，故排除A. 根据最后一段的Disappointments are like road blocks, they slow you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Don"t stay on the bumps too long. Move on! 可知遇到路上的障碍时，不要停下，要继续前进。因此排除C。根据第六段的If your challenges are   too large or too numerous, do not give up. 可知如果遇到的挑战太多或太大，不要放弃，因此排除D. 根据第一段的 But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So fishing boats went farther than ever.故选B。
小题3:标题归纳题。本文以日本渔船保鲜鱼的方法为例子告诉我们保持生活中精力充沛的方法。因此标题是 keep your life active，故选B。
小题4:词义猜测题。根据第四段的The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state. The fish are challenged. 和第五段的Have you realized that some of us are also living in a tank but most of the time tired & dull,可知水槽里的鱼面对鲨鱼这样的挑战变得活跃了，以此比喻我们的生活像一个水槽，要想精力充沛，需要迎接一些挑战。这里鲨鱼(shark)代表的是挑战。故选D。
