process of 19 in with the new environment again.throughout the years of changing 20 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood my mother. for both my brother and me, she was the cook, maid and teacher. she played these roles while 21 some type of part-time job. leaving a 22 career is just one of the sacrifices which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so. while she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother, somehow, managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and comfortable.this probably sounds like a depressing way to live, 23 with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to 24 a career or establish a home. but it was not for my mother. she turned this 25 into adventure for us all! each relocation (变换位置) was a chance to 26 another part of the world. my mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. each new house was a 27 to rearrange furniture, make curtains and 28 pictures. every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.no matter how difficult the life was, she

wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “well, its so-and-sos fault.” or “i know im late, but its not my fault; the car broke down.” 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.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 situations 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.31. according to the passage, winners .a. deal with problems rather than blame othersb. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesc. have responsible and able colleaguesd. blame themselves rather than others32. the underlined word remedy in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

to find the cause of the problemd. ask a more able colleague for help34. when problems occur, winners take them as . a. excuses for their failures b. barriers to greater powerc. challenges to their colleaguesd. chances for self-development35. which of the following is the best title for the passage? a. a winners secret b. a winners problemc. a winners opportunity d. a winners achievementbplanning your holiday? whether youre going to yunnan or uk, its important to make sure youre well-prepared. heres a handy checklist to help you.locationthe first thing you have to decide is where you want to go. of course a lot will depend on your time and budget. do you want to relax on a beach, visit some famous landmarks, or hike through some beautiful scenery? all these things are available in china, but if your budget stretches, why not look at somewhere else in asia, or even farther.packingthere can be such a thing as being over prepared when traveling, but you dont want to forget something important. it can be a good idea to wear pants with zipped pockets. in certain countries local thieves will target unsuspecting tourists for their money. it can also be worth packing some basic medical supplies. if you are going to be moving around a lot, buy a good backpack. finally, remember to pack clothes that are going to be suitable for the weather.accommodation there are

soon discover theres somewhere better to stay.dont forgetthe key to a good holiday is detail. when youre traveling, especially in a foreign country, dont forget to change some money before you leave. if youre traveling somewhere tropical, you might need some injections or pills to avoid disease. and its always worth taking out travel insurance, just in case you find yourself in a spot of bother during the trip. dont forget to check the exchange rates. the strong yuan has made traveling abroad cheaper recently. it can also be a good idea to write down the phone number of the closest chinese

when he was a boy living in a small red brick house on this very street. he recalled the flower garden, the swing his dad made, and the bike he had saved up for months to buy.the man shrugged impatiently, for the brightness of those pictures hurt him, and his memory traveled on another ten years. he had a job by then, plenty of friends and started to come home less. he did not really want

out of the room, he took what he wanted and left.that was the last time he had seen them. ashamed, he went abroad, and his parents knew nothing about the years of wandering or time in prison. but

couldnt settle. something was drawing him home. he did not want to arrive penniless, so he hitchhiked most of the long journey back. but less than a mile from his destination he started to feel sick with doubt. could they ever accept this man who had so bitterly disappointed them?he spent most of that day sitting under a tree. that evening he posted a letter which, although short, had taken him hours to write. it ended with:i know it is unreasonable of me to suppose you want to see me . so its up to you. ill come early thursday morning. if you want me home, hang a white handkerchief in the window of my old bedroom. if its there, ill come in; if not, ill wave good-bye and go.and now it was thursday morning and he was sitting on the pavement at the end of the street. finally he got up and

homedtoday, there are many chances for those who wish to continue their education. however, nearly all require some break in ones career in order to attend school full time.part-time education, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the process out over time and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. additionally, such programs require a fixed time commitment which can also impact negatively on ones career and family time.of the many approaches to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible (灵活的) is that called distance learning. distance learning is an educational method which allows the students the flexibility to study at his or her own pace to achieve the academic goals which are so necessary in todays
