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 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 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 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.
B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C. have responsible and able colleagues
D. blame others rather than themselves
B. accept
C. improve
D. consider
B. blame him for his lack of responsibility
C. tell him to find the cause of the problem
D. ask another person for help
B. A Winner"s Problem.

Americans experience this royal treatment every day. How? By being customers. The American
idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention. Need proof? Just listen
to the commercials. Most of them sound like the McDonald"s ad: "We do it all for you." Actually,
not all stores in America roll out the red carpet for their customers. But wherever you go, good
customer service means making customers feel special.
People going shopping in America can expect to be treated with respect from the very beginning.
Most places don"t have a "furniture street" or a "computer road" which allow you to compare prices
easily. Instead, people often "let their fingers do the walking" through the store hot lines. From the
first "hello", customers receive a satisfying response to their questions. This initial contact can help
them decide where to shop.
When customers get to the store, they are treated as honored guests. Customers don"t usually find
store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards. Instead, the clerks greet them warmly and
offer to help them find what they want. In most stores, the clear signs that label each department make
shopping a breeze. Customers usually don"t have to ask how much items cost, since prices are clearly
marked. And unless they"re at a flea market or a yard sale, they don"t bother trying to bargain.
When customers are ready to check out, they find the nearest and shortest checkout lane. But as
Murphy"s Law would have it, whichever lane they get in, all the other lanes will move faster. Good
stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes get too long. Some even offer express lanes for
customers with 10 items or less. After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a
warm "thank you" from the clerk. Many stores even allow customers to take their shopping carts out
to the parking lot. That way, they don"t have to carry heavy bags out to the car.
B. show readers the American idea on good customer service
C. express all the stores pay much attention to the customers
D. persuade readers to choose the stores with ads correctly
B. To compare prices in many shops in the same street.
C. To make phone calls and get better shopping choices.
D. To receive other customers" answers to the questions.
B. Some stores offer price bargain to the customers like a yard sale.
C. The clerks give customers a smile and a warm "thank you" after paying.
D. Some stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes are crowded.
B. Excellent Stores in America
C. Shopping Rules in America
D. Being King or Queen in America

There are a number of advantages when it comes to living alone. However, it also comes with a few
safety concerns. You still never know who will be around the corner. Don"t become another victim; be
sure to follow our tips.
1. All doors should be kept locked.
Always keep your doors locked when you are in your apartment or dorm. Make sure the doors are
closed behind you when you come into the building and never leave your room unlocked, even when
you are in it. There"s always a chance that someone might sneak in while you are unaware. Always try
to remember to close doors behind you to ensure your safety.
2. Don"t lose your keys.
Even if you do everything you can to keep the doors locked, criminals might still be able to come into
your house with a key. Always know where your keys are to prevent this. Never put them down in a
public place or give them to friends. Also, before you bring your car into the repair shop, take off the
house keys.
3. When it comes to safety, standing up for yourself is important.
If you aren"t getting all the security features you want, don"t be afraid to ask. If your lighting situation
is less than ideal, discuss this with your supervisor or landlord. Talk to the campus security organization
if you think a security phone near your dorm is a good idea. Request that the building employ someone
to monitor those entering and leaving the building. You should feel safe where you reside (居住于), so
stand up for your rights.
4. Be careful.
You still might find yourself in a potentially dangerous situation. Check your peephole (窥视孔) before
letting anyone in. Whenever you witness something around your building that makes you uncomfortable
or suspicious just dial 911. It is a good idea to always walk with a friend instead of alone. Become familiar with people who live in the building, so you can keep track of anyone that is a stranger.

I am one of those people who are terrible at saying no. I take on too many projects at once, and spend too much of my time doing things I"d rather not be doing. I get stuff done, but it"s not always the best I can do, or the best way I could spend my time. That"s why my newest goal, both as a professional and a person, is to be a quitter. Being a quitter isn"t being someone who gives up, who doesn"t see important things through to the end. I desire to be the opposite of that. The quitter I want to be is someone who gets out when there"s no value in what he"s doing, or when that value comes at the expense of something more important. We get involved in something, realize we don"t want to be a part of it, but keep on going. We say "Well, I"ve already invested so much time in this, I might as well stick it out." A friend of mine once told me, "I knew I was an adult when I could stop reading a book, even after getting 500 pages into it." Odd though it sounds, we all tend to do this. I propose the opposite: quit as often as possible, regardless of project status or time invested. If you"re reading a book, and don"t like it, stop reading. Cut your losses, realize that the smartest thing to do is stop before your losses grow even more, and quit. Instead of reading an entire book you hate, read half of a bad one and half of a good one. Isn"t that a better use of your time? Step back for a second. Let"s learn how to say "no" at the beginning, or in the middle, and free up more of our time to do the things we"d like to be doing, and the things actually worth doing. Saying no is hard, and admitting a mistaken yes is even harder. But if we do both, we"ll start to make sure that we"re spending our time creating value, rather than increasing our losses. Let"s be quitters together. | |||
1. The author wants to be a quitter, because he/she . | |||
A. wishes to have more time for relaxation B. hopes to improve his/her personality C. expects to make more efficient use of his/her time D. has found it hard to do several things at one time | |||
2. In what circumstances does the author suggest quitting is a good idea? | |||
A. When you know a task cannot be finished. B. When you feel tired and need a rest. C. When you meet with difficulties along the way. D. When you realize what you are doing is not worth the time. | |||
3. The message the author tries to convey is to . | |||
A. learn to say noB. create more value C. live your life to the fullest D. stop doing many things at a time |
