【文章大意】本文主要讲述的是孩子们很小的时候，他们认为自己很普通，当他们慢慢长大，他们会思考能为社会贡献什么。有时候仔细想想自己的朋友，并不是因为他们多么优秀才会交朋友，当自己成熟时应尽自己所能做一些有用的事。

36.B【解析】根据下文，他们既不是最漂亮的也不是最潇洒的，既不是最丑的，也不是最傻的。可见他们认为自己很普通，故本题选B。

37.B【解析】根据上下文，本题题意：尤其是中学。especially表示尤其地，特别地。故本题选B。

38.D【解析】本题考查副词的含义。often表示经常，more often表示更经常，not often表示不经常，seldom表示从不。联系上下文，孩子们从不觉得自己很特别。故本题选D。

39.A【解析】根据上下文，题意为：第一段孩子们的想法只是成长中的一部分，当孩子们成熟时会明白要为社会贡献自己。It is part of growing up表示那只是成长中的部分，故本题选A。

40.C【解析】本题考查不定代词的含义。anything任何事，everything每件事，something某事、某物，some thing一些东西，一些事情。根据题意，你会为他人提供某些东西。故本题选C。

41.D【解析】根据下文阐述了孩子们跟别人交朋友的原因“they are great in their own way”，可知这里问的是原因，用why，故本题选D。

42.A【解析】本题中出现了“will”可见后跟动词原形，再结合语境，最后你将渐渐明白。get to know表示渐渐明白，故本题选A。

43.D【解析】本题考查形容词比较级的用法，文中the smartest or the prettiest为最高级可知此处用最高级，故本题选D。

44.C【解析】本题考查介词的辨析。as表示像…，to对，about关于，for为，本题题意为：关于你，他们（朋友们）也这样认为。故本题选C。

45.B【解析】本题考查形容词的含义。smart漂亮的，潇洒的，amazing令人惊叹的，well是副词。本题题意：如果你尽力做好的话，那还是非常令人惊叹的。故本题选B。
