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_the situation. This is the winners key to success.Winners are good at dealing with problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car checked more regularly. Or, you might start to carry the useful phone numbers with you, 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 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 depend on the 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 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 mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.17 . According to the passage, winners_ .A. have responsible and able colleaguesB. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC deal with problems instead of blaming others.C. blame themselves instead of others18 . The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_ .A避免B接受C改善D考虑19 . When your colleague brings about a problem, you should_.Afind a better way to deal with the problemBblame him for his lack of responsibilityCtell him to find the cause of the problemDask a more able colleague for help.20 . Which of the following is the best title for the passage?AA Winners Secret.BA Winners Problem.CA Winners Opportunity.DA Winners Achievement.Three fish lived in a lake. Their names were Angel, Peter and Amy. One day, some fishermen passed by the lake. One of them said, Hey, weve never seen this lake. It seems to be full of fish. It is now evening. Lets come tomorrow morning and catch as much fish as we can.Hearing the fisherman, Angel called a meeting of all the fish and said to them, Havent you heard what the fisherman said? I think we must move out of this lake tonight, or they will catch us tomorrow morning. Peter nodded and said, I agree with you. We shouldnt be here for even a moment more. Lets go somewhere else. However, Amy didnt agree. She laughed loudly and said, Your plans are not good. If it is destined（注定）, we cannot escape death even if we go elsewhere. Everything is in the hands of God. Without his blessing, people will die even if they have protection. With his blessing, nobody can kill them even if they dont have protection. Unable to convince（说服）Amy, Angel and Peter left the lake. Coming the next morning, the fishermen took a big catch of fish in the lake. Amy was one among them.

As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didnt give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.Today, people still follow Confucius lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.26 .
