To my surprise, they published（出版） it and sent me two dollars. I couldnt believe it. I became a published and _ writer. Then, I wrote more and sold more poems. By the time I graduated, I had scrapbooks filled with my published work. I never told about my writing to my teachers or classmates again as they were dream _.Years later, when I was ready to write my first novel, I already had four children. I wrote on my typewriter while they napped. It took nine months to finish. I randomly chose a publisher and mailed it off with a letter saying, “I wrote this book myself and I hope youll like it. Thank you.”A month later I received a contract (合同) and a request to start another book. My book, Crying Wind, became a best seller.

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 paying attention to whom to blame and start paying attention to how to improve the situation. This is the winners key to success.Winners are great at overcoming(克服) problems. For example, if you were late because the bus was late, maybe you need to leave home early. Or, you might call a taxi or call friends for help when in need. For another example, if your workmate causes you problems on the job for short of responsibility(责任心) 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 leave this person with some simple jobs. You should accept that the person is not reliable(可靠的) and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your workmate fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all aboutcreatively 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(挑战) and chances to develop their own talents. So, stop paying attention to “whose mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.26 . According to the passage, winners.Ahave responsible and able workmatesBmeet with fewer difficulties in their livesCblame themselves rather than othersDdeal with problems rather than blame others27 . When your workmate brings about a problem, you should.Ablame him for his lack of responsibilityBfind a better way to overcome the problemCtell him to find the cause of the problemDask a more able workmate for help28 . When problems happen, winners take them as.Aexcuses for their mistakesBdifficulties to greater powerCchances for self-developmentDchallenges to their workmates29 . Which of the following is the best title for the passage？AA Winners SecretBA Winners ProblemCA Winners ChanceDA Winners AchievementDo you know why different animals or pests(昆虫)have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, youll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters(猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid(液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over(散开), its enemies(敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.30 .

Which is the best title for this passage?AThe Change of Colors for Animals and PestsBColors of Different Animals and PestsCThe Main Use of Colors for Animals and PestsDSome Animals and PestsHappiness is for everyone. You dont need to care about the rich. Some people have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools, but they may often feel lonely(孤独).In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your teachers will help you; when you do something wrong, people around you feel unhappy; when you succeed(成功)in something, your friends will say congratulations(祝贺)to you. All these are your happiness. If you know some of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. You are poor, but you can also say you are very happy. Money is not everything. You have something else that money cant buy. When you meet with difficult things, you can say you are very happy because you have more chances to challenge(挑战)yourself. So you can not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.35 . According to(根据)the passage, some people with beautiful houses may also often feel .AhappyBlonelyCfreeDexcited36 .
