Last August there was a fire at the Sea breeze Hotel in Belton. The next day, this news appeared on page two of the towns newspaper.

We say again to all our visitors: Please dont smoke cigarettes in bed. This was Beltons first hotel fire for five years. The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one. ANOTHER BELTON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE Last night Belton firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Sea breeze Hotel.

A. parents B. children C. the writer D. the bossCWhen I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too. One big disadvantage is money-it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety(多样) of goods is very surprising-and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away. Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.34. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child? A. Staying on the farm. B. Moving to the countryside. C. Leaving home for the city. D. Running away from the school.35. Which of the following is true about the writer? A. He is very old now. B. He is in good health. C. He prefers driving a car. D. He lives in the city now.36. In the passage, the writer tries to . A. express his opinions about way of life B. describe his life in the countryside C. show an interest in the outside world D. advise the reader to live in the cityDWhen something goes 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(同事) causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility(缺少责任感) 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（依靠） this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable(可靠的) 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 situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities(挑战和机会) 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 stop on for success.37. According to the passage, winners . A. deal with problems rather than blame others B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives C. have responsible and able colleagues. D. blame themselves rather than others38. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to . A. avoid B. accept C. improve D. consider39. When problems appear, winners take them as . A. excuses for their failures B. barriers (障碍 ) to greater power C. challenges to their colleagues D. chances for self-development40. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A Winners Secret. B. A Win
