Question

18．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．"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 remedythe 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 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 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 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 stone on for success．

Answer 1

分析 當(dāng)出現(xiàn)問題時，說："嗯，這是這樣那樣的錯．"或者"我知道我遲到了，但這不是我的錯；汽車拋錨了．"是可以使人滿意的．這可能不是你的錯誤，但是一旦你形成在糟糕狀況下責(zé)怪某人或其他事物的習(xí)慣，你就是一個失敗者．你沒有能力也什么都做不了來幫助改變局面．但是，如果你停止專注于誰應(yīng)該被責(zé)怪，并開始專注于如何補救此狀況，對于發(fā)生的事情你就可以有偉大的力量．這是贏家成功的關(guān)鍵．
獲勝者非常擅長克服問題．例如，如果你因為你的車拋錨遲到，也許你需要更經(jīng)常地讓你的車接受檢查．或許，你可能開始攜帶有用的電話號碼，這樣的話你可以在有需要的時候打電話求助．另一個例子，如果你的同事因為缺乏責(zé)任或能力而導(dǎo)致你的工作出現(xiàn)問題，找到方法來處理他的不負責(zé)任或沒能力，而不是簡單地責(zé)備此人．要與一個不同的人工作，或不依賴這個人．你應(yīng)該接受這個人是不可靠的，并找到創(chuàng)造性的方式成功工作，無論你的同事如何地未能做好他的工作．
這就是一個贏家就是創(chuàng)造性地使用你的技能和才能，所以不管發(fā)生什么你都能成功．贏者在他們的生活中遇到的問題和其他人一樣多．他們只是更擅長把這些問題看作提高自己能力的挑戰(zhàn)和機會．因此，停止關(guān)注"這是誰的錯"．一旦你對處理糟糕狀況的能力有信心，問題只是成功的基石．

解答 51．A．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第一段"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"可知贏家是關(guān)注如何補救狀況，故選A．處理問題而不是責(zé)備他人．
52．C．詞義推測題．根據(jù)文章第一段"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"可知remedy意為補救或改善，使狀況變好之意，故選C．
53．A．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段"…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"可知贏家是找到處理問題的方法，故選A．
54．D．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章最后一段"They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents"可推知贏家把問題看做提升自我的挑戰(zhàn)和機會，故選D．自我提升的機會．
