七、阅读短文，选择正确的答案。
Helen tried to build(建造) a tall tower, but it fell down. She cried(哭). “I can't do this,” she said. “It's not easy.”
Her mother sat down and said, “When things get difficult, don't walk away. Just try your best again.”
Helen thought, and then stood up. She picked up the blocks once again. She stacked(摞起) them slowly, one by one. And soon her tower was tall.
After that, when maths problems made her want to give up and drawing looked a bit messy, she said to herself, “I'll try once again. I know I can do this, for sure.”
Mistakes are not a stop, but a start—to learn, to grow, and to play your part. When things get tough, remember: You have the power to try again.

解析
【分析】
1. 第1题需概括文章主旨：通读全文可知，Helen搭塔失败后在妈妈鼓励下再次尝试成功，后续遇到其他困难也坚持不放弃，核心是学会“再尝试”，据此选标题；
2. 第2题需梳理故事发展顺序：先确定事件先后，①搭塔倒塌→③妈妈鼓励→④成功搭塔→②遇到数学、画画困难，对应选项；
3. 第3题需结合上下文猜词义：前文提到“When things get difficult”，划线词tough与difficult语义相近，据此判断；
4. 第4题需根据人物经历推理：Helen从搭塔事件学会遇到困难不放弃，会坚持尝试，据此选答案。
【解析】
1. 主旨大意题：文章围绕Helen搭塔失败后在妈妈鼓励下再次尝试、后续遇困难仍坚持的经历展开，核心是“学会再尝试”，A选项仅提及妈妈、C选项仅讲搭塔，均片面，故选B；
2. 细节排序题：按故事发展顺序：①Helen搭塔倒塌想放弃→③妈妈鼓励她再试→④Helen成功搭塔→②后续遇到数学题和画画困难，对应顺序为①→③→④→②，故选A；
3. 词义猜测题：前文提到“When things get difficult”，划线词tough与difficult语义呼应，意为“困难的”，A选项easy（容易的）、C选项funny（有趣的）均不符合，故选B；
4. 推理判断题：Helen的成长经历让她明白遇到困难要坚持尝试，不会再哭着放弃或依赖妈妈，A、B选项均不符合其行为逻辑，故选C。
