It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winners key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well. This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situation to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on whose fault it is. Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.46.

When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .A. find a better way to handle the problem B. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problem D. ask a more able colleague for help49. When problems occur, winners take them as . A. excuses for their failures B. barriers to greater powerC. challenges to their colleagues D. chances for self-development50.

A Winners Secret.CFamous centenarians （百岁老人） still active in arts, science are in no mood to retireThose who stand still, die, is one of Oliveiras favorite phrasesHe knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his professionEvery year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next projectYou have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away, he saidWhen asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: Its down to mother natureIt gave to me what it took from othersBeing both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with characterNot every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizensAlong with the architect Oscar Niemeyer （103）, Nobel laureate Montalcini （101） and director Kurt Maetzig （100）, Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generationAnother master in his profession is the architect Oscar NiemeyerThe 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poorThe role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few, said Niemeyer recentlyHe spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder （胆囊） operation he composed a samba tune （桑巴舞曲） in the clinicAnother man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old HeestersThe Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still worksRecently Heesters said: I want to be at least 108-years-old He also plans to keep performingShould I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?
