When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down(拋錨).” 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 winner’s 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（不負(fù)責(zé)任） or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of（不管） how your colleague（同事）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 don’t 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 stop on for success.

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要講述了述成功者怎樣面對(duì)出現(xiàn)的問(wèn)題。當(dāng)生活出現(xiàn)不如意的事情時(shí)，很多時(shí)候我們傾向于抱怨，責(zé)怪別人，而不是努力去彌補(bǔ)過(guò)失和改變現(xiàn)狀，而成功人士則在出現(xiàn)問(wèn)題的時(shí)候，經(jīng)常關(guān)注在采取補(bǔ)救措施上面。文章指出做一個(gè)成功者就是無(wú)論在任何事情發(fā)生的時(shí)候，積極運(yùn)用技巧和才能，成功人士往往把困難看成是提升能力的機(jī)會(huì)和挑戰(zhàn)，因此面對(duì)問(wèn)題時(shí)，他們呢更加容易克服困難。

1. 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 winner’s key to success.意思：然而，你有能力克服發(fā)生在你身上的事情，如果你停止關(guān)心應(yīng)該責(zé)備誰(shuí)，而開(kāi)始注意怎么補(bǔ)救這種境況。這就是成功人士成功的鑰匙�？芍晒Φ娜颂幚韱�(wèn)題而不是責(zé)備他人。故選A。

故選A。

2. focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation.停止責(zé)備他人而開(kāi)始關(guān)注怎么去…（糟糕的）情況，可以猜測(cè)出是“補(bǔ)救，改正，糾正”的意思。而與這個(gè)意思最近的是improve，提升，補(bǔ)救（糟糕的）情況來(lái)提升。故選C.

3. your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility（不負(fù)責(zé)任） or inability rather than simply blame the person.意思是：當(dāng)你的同事遇到在工作中由于不負(fù)責(zé)任或者能力不足而出現(xiàn)問(wèn)題時(shí)，應(yīng)該尋找解決他的不負(fù)責(zé)任和能力不足的辦法，而不是責(zé)備這個(gè)人。可知當(dāng)同事面臨問(wèn)題的時(shí)候，幫他尋找更好的處理問(wèn)題的辦法。故選A。

4. are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents.意思是：他們僅僅把問(wèn)題更好地看待成一種挑戰(zhàn)和機(jī)遇，來(lái)提升他們的能力。因此，當(dāng)問(wèn)題出現(xiàn)的時(shí)候，成功者把他們當(dāng)作自我提升的機(jī)會(huì)。故選D。

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺點(diǎn)). Wee k by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

1.What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?

A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her“enemy” had said.

B. He criticized (批評(píng)) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.

C. He told her to write down all that her“enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.

D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.

2.What does “Week by week her list grew”mean?

A. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.

B. She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.

C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.

D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.

3.Why did her father listen to her quietly?

A. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.

B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.

C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.

D. Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.

4.Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?

A. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend

B. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had

C. My Father

D. My Childhood

下面是幾則寓言小故事：

1. An ant went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst, and being carried away by the rush of the stream, was on the point of drowning. A dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water plucked a leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The ant climbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortly afterwards a bird catcher came and stood under the tree, aiming at the dove. The ant, perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain the bird catcher shouted, and the noise made the dove take wing.

2.Two men were travelling together, when a bear suddenly met them on their path. One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and hid himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and pretended to be dead as much as he could. The bear soon left him, for he will not touch a dead body. When he disappeared, the other traveler descended from the tree, and asked his friend what it was the bear had whispered in his ear. ―He gave me this advice, his companion replied. ―Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger.

3. A prince had some monkeys trained to dance. Being naturally good at learning, they showed themselves excellent pupils, and in their rich clothes and masks, they danced as well as any of the courtiers. Their performance was often repeated with great applause, till on one occasion a courtier, bent on mischief, took from his pocket a handful of nuts and threw them upon the stage. The monkeys at the sight of the nuts forgot their dancing and became (as indeed they were) monkeys instead of actors. Pulling off their masks and tearing their robes, they fought with one another for the nuts. The dancing spectacle thus came to an end in the laughter and ridicule of the audience.

4. A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he noticed something shining in the straw. "Ho! Ho!" said he, "that’s for me," and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. It turned out to be a pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard. ―You may be a treasure, signed the cock, ―to man, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn.

5. An old man on the point of death summoned his sons around him to give them some parting advice. He ordered his servants to bring in a bunch of sticks, and said to his eldest son: "Break it." The son tried hard, but with all his efforts was unable to break the bundle. The other sons also tried, but none of them was successful. ―Untie it, said the father, ―and each of you take a stick. When they had done so, he called out to them: ―Now, break, and each stick was easily broken.

請(qǐng)閱讀下面的故事寓意，然后匹配與之對(duì)應(yīng)的小故事。

A. Not everything you see is what it appears to be.

B. One man’s pleasure may be another’s pain. / One man’s meat is another’s poison.

C. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.

D. One good turn deserves another.

E. Union gives strength.
