He took off his hat, put it face-up on the ground and started crying sadly.In a few minutes, Joes hat was full of money, but when Joe gave Pipo the money, Pipo declined.“Its much more fun making an effort to get things.

He hadnt even enjoyed himself by spending almost all his time crying.That evening, Joe wanted a piece of cake for his supper. When his mum refused, he wanted to cry. But he remembered what Pipo said.

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.31 . According to the passage, winners_.Adeal with problems rather than blame othersBmeet with fewer difficulties in their livesChave responsible and able colleaguesDblame others rather than themselves32 .

When your colleague brings about a problem, you should_.Afind a better way to handle the problemBblame him for his lack of responsibilityCtell him to find the cause of the problemDask another person for help34 . When problems appear, winners consider themselves as _.Aexcuses for their failuresBchances for self-developmentCdifficulties for greater powerDchallenges for their colleagues35 . According to the passage, which of the following sentences is wrong?AIf you were late because your car broke down, you might start to carry the useful phone numbers with you.BIf you want to be winners, you had better learn to use your skills and talents creatively.CIf you want to be winners, you had better use those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop your own talents.DIf you are confident about your power over bad situations, you will cause problems.36 . Which of the following is the best title for the passage?AWinners Secret.BA Winners Problem.CA Winners Opportunity.DA Winners Achievement.Choose the best answer（根据以下内容，选择最恰当答案）Humans have sewn by hand for thousands of yeas. It was said hat the fist thread was made from animal muscle and sinew. And the earliest needles were made from bones. Since those early days, many people have been involved in the process of developing a machine that could do the same thing more quickly and with greater efficiency.Charles Wiesenthal, who was born in Germany, designed and received a patent on a double-pointed needle that eliminated the need to turn the needle around with each stitch（缝合）in England in 1755. Other inventors of that time tried to develop a functional sewing machine, but each design had at least one serious imperfection.Frenchman Barthelemy Thimonnier finally engineered a machine that really worked. However, he was nearly killed by a group of angry tailors when they burned down his garment factory. They feared that they would lose their jobs to the machine.American inventor Elias Howe, born on July 9th, 1819, was awarded a patent for a method of sewing that used thread from two different sources. Howes machine had a needle with an eye at the point, and it used the two threads to make a special stitch called a lockstitch. However, Howe faced difficulty in finding buyers for his machines in America. In frustration, he traveled to England to try to sell his invention there. When he finally returned home, he found that dozens of manufacturers were adapting his discovery for use in their own sewing machines.Isaac Singer, another American inventor, was also a manufacturer who made improvements to he design of sewing machines. He invented an up-and-down-motion mechanism that replaced the side-to-side machines. He also developed a foot treadle（脚踏板）to power his machine. This improvement left the sewers hands free. Undoubtedly, it was a huge improvement of the hand-cranked machine of the past. Soon the Singer sewing machine achieved more fame than the others for it was more practical, it could be adapted to home use and it could be bought on hire- purchase. The Singer sewing machine became the first home appliance, and the Singer company became one of the first American multinationals.However, Singer used the same method to create a lockstitch that Howe had already patented. As a result, Howe accused him of patent infringement（侵犯）. Of course, Elias Howe won the court case, and Singer was ordered to pay Howe royalties（版税）. In the end, Howe became a millionaire, not by manufacturing the sewing machine, but by receiving royalty payments for his invention.37 . _ made it unnecessary to turn the needle around with each stitch.ABarthelemy ThimonnierBCharles WiesenthalCElias HoweDIsaac Singer38 . Barthelemy Thimonniers garment factory was burned down because _ .Apeople did not know how to put out the fireBElias Howethought Thimonier had stolen his inventionCthe sewing machines was couldnt work finallyDworkers who feared the loss of their jobs to a machine set fire39 . _ invented the Singer sewing machine.ABarthelemy ThimonnierBCharles WiesenthalCIsaac SingerDElias Howe40 . Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?AThe Singer sewing company became more practical.BSinger is an American inventor and manufacturer.CThe foot treadle helped to make the sewers hands free.DSinger made improvements to the design of sewing machines.41 . Why did the court force Isaac Singer to pay Elisa Howe a lifetime of royalties?ABecause the judge was against Singer for his surly attitude.BBecause Howe had already patented the lockstitch used by Singer.CBecause Singer had borrowed money from Howe and never repaid it.DBecause Singer and Howe had both invented the same machine.42 . Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?AA Stitch in Time Saves Nine.BThe Case between Howe and Singer.CPatent Laws on the Sewing Machine.DThe Early History of the Sewing Machine.Chinas Top Three Express Delivery Companies(快递公司)Company nameS.F.
