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 useful phone numbers, so you can 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 stop on for success.

解析
试题分析：本文主要讲述的是在发生困难的时候，很多人只是在责备别人，寻找责任人；而成功的人却在寻找问题的解决方法，把问题和困难当成是解决问题的机会，寻找方法来改善具体的情况。这正是成功人士的成功秘诀。
小题1:推理题。根据第一段最后2行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.可知成功的秘诀在于不要总是责备别人，寻找借口，而是要寻找问题所在，找到解决的方法。故A正确。
小题2:猜词题。根据本句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. 你不再聚焦于谁该受责备，而是聚焦于任何改善这种情况。故该词是指improve,故C项正确。
小题3:细节题。根据第二段4,5行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.说明当同事犯错的时候，我们应该寻找问题的解决方法。故A正确。
小题4:细节题。根据最后一段3,4行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.说明成功的人往往把这样的困难当成是提高自己的机会和途径。故D项正确。

举一反三
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.
In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life. In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.
小题1:What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?
| A．People and things around you. |
| B．Opportunities and problems. |
| C．Creators and their choices. |
| D．Victims and their sufferings. |
| A．seem willing to experience failures in life |
| B．possess the ability to predict future life |
| C．handle ups and downs of life wisely |
| D．have potential to create something new |
| A．Creators and victims face quite different things in life. |
| B．Creators and victims are masters of their lives. |
| C．Victims can influence more people than creators. |
| D．Compared with victims, creators are more emotional. |
| A．strong attachment to (沉浸在）sufferings in life pulls people into victims |
| B．people need family support to deal with challengers in life |
| C．it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains |
| D．one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life |
| A．To define victims and creators. |
| B．To evaluate victims against creators. |
| C．To explain the relationship between victims and creators. |
| D．To suggest the transformation from victims to creators. |
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others .Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get 26 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for 27 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly 28 . The only direct and honest comparison is 29 yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only 30 to compare yourself to someone else if their life 31 is the same as your own. Good luck finding that 32 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated（埋头苦***）you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can 33 someone is coming up fast 34 you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best 35 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to 36 you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who 37 if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of 38 . You are a more 39 person today than you were yesterday. Your own 40 is all you need.

It happened in February about twelve years ago．I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October．I was still living at home at the time．
One morning I was in Richmond, a suburb of London near where I lived．I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling．As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and looking around me．It must have been this obvious aimlessness that led to my downfall．
It was about half past eleven when it happened．I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there, when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me．I thought he was going to ask me the time．Instead, he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me．At first I thought it was some kind of joke
But then another policeman appeared, this time in uniform, and I was left in no doubt．
"But what for?" I asked
‘Wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence," he said．
‘What offence?" I asked
"Theft," he said
"Theft of what?"I asked
"Milk bottles," he said, and with a perfectly straight face too!
"Oh," I said．
It turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area, particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps．
Then I made my big mistake．At the time I was nineteen, had long untidy hair, and regarded myself as pan of the sixties" "youth counterculture"．As a result, I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident, so I said, "How long have you been following me? in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage．I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation, and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable （品行不端的） character．
A few minutes later a police car arrived．
"Get in the back," they said．"Put your hands on the back of the front seat and don"t move them．"
They got in on either side of me．It wasn"t funny any more．
At the police station they questioned me for several hours．I continued to try to look worldly and familiar with the situation．When they asked me what I had been doing, I told them I"d been looking for a job．"Aha," I could see them thinking, "unemployed"．
Eventually, I was officially charged and told to report to Richmond Magistrates" Court the following Monday．Then they let me go．
I wanted to conduct my own defense in court, but as soon as my father found out what had happened, he hired a very good solicitor （律师）．We went along that Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses, including my English teacher from school as a character witness．But he was never called on to give evidence．My "trial" didn"t get that far．The magistrate （法官） dismissed the case after fifteen minutes．1 was free．The poor police had never stood a chance．The solicitor even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police．
And so I do not have a criminal record．But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on．I had the "right" accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good solicitor．Given the obscure nature of the charge．I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty．While asking for costs to be awarded, my solicitor"s case quite obviously revolved （回转） around the fact that I had a "brilliant academic record"．
Meanwhile, just outside the courtroom, one of the policemen who had arrested me was gloomily complaining to my mother that another youngster had been turned against the police． "You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you," he said to me reproachfully （责备地）．
What did he mean? Probably that I should have looked outraged （暴怒）and said something like, "Look here, do you know who you"re talking to? I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record．How dare you arrest me!" Then they, probably, would have apologized perhaps even taken off their caps, and let me on my way．

Many nights, we take the same scenic drive to dinner at a favorite restaurant. As we travel along Gulf Shore Boulevard, we admire a combination of small beach apartments, swanky high-rises and spectacular homes.
A few years ago, we noticed that whenever we drive this particular route, there are always two men sitting in front of the same third-floor window of a low-rise apartment building that overlooks the road. All that is visible from the road are their two silhouettes. Even during off-peak months, they’ve always been there. Over the years, we’ve had great fun speculating about who they are, whether they’re having a drink, and if so, what they fancy, where they’re from, and what they might be discussing. Our guesses have become a modern form of car bingo. Widowers? Retirees? Partners? We’ve run through the gamut of possibilities.
Eventually, I started beeping the horn as we passed. We’d wave. Our new friends would do likewise. There was something comforting in seeing them. In a world of constant change, it has been nice to look up and see that they are there, just as we remember from our last visit. And then last spring, we drove by and they were missing. The apartment was dark. No one was visible in the window. Strangely, we drove by and they were missing The apartment was dark. No one was visible in the window. Strangely, we grew worried about two people we’d never even met. Where did they go? A new round of the guessing game began.
On our last trip at Christmastime, we were relieved to see them once again. We were driving past about 6 p.m., and there they were at cocktail hour. I told my wife that I suspected they were gin drinkers and said we should buy them a bottle. She said that if I bought it, she’d deliver it. I said, “Tomorrow.”
小题1:Driving along the scenic route, the author’s family were to .
| A．meet their friends there | B．visit the Florida town |
| C．appreciate a place of interest | D．have supper together |
| A．It was a pleasure for them to see the two men again. |
| B．It was his habit while driving along the special route. |
| C．It was an agreement between him and the two men. |
| D．It was for the sake of safety while driving. |
| A．generous and sensitive | B．curious and kind |
| C．helpful and brave | D．friendly and hurnorous |
| A．The two men’s favorite drinks. |
| B．The two men’s beach apartments |
| C．The reason of the two men’s absence |
| D．The author’s next visit to the town |
One day we noticed he had gained weight. We guessed he was enjoying snacks at the local takeaway shop bins and so we began to reduce the amount of his food. He didn’t seem to notice.
Some months later. we invited some new neighbours in for drinks. Not long into the evening, our new neighbor saw PJ sitting proudly on the window ledge. “You’ve got my cat!” She exclaimed, laughing.
We let her down gently, and learnt that at their house, PJ was known as Tiger. Thanks to them, he’d been receiving the royal treatment, including removing small insects from his body by spraying medicine. PJ continued living with us until a new cat and a new dog finally tested his patience. He walked out and was missing for ten days before my husband spotted him near his work. He brought our wandering cat home, but it was clear that PJ wasn’t happy. After shouting at him angrily, I let him out and he never returned.
A few months later, our new neighbour told us she’d seen PJ. It seems that an elderly neighbour had welcomed him into her home, and since taking up residence he’d doubled in size and been given his own sitting – room chair to lie. The two had become very fond of each other, ever since he’d followed her home. What a smart cat.
小题1:By exclaiming “You’ve got my cat,” the neighbour implied that .
| A．she admitted the eat belonged to that author |
| B．the author had stolen the lovely eat PJ |
| C．she was surprised at seeing the cat there |

| A．The cat PJ | B．the author’s husband |
| C．a new neighbour | D．a neighbour’s husband |
| A．the cat had visited all the neighbours before leaving |
| B．the author found the cat had gained some weight |
| C．The author couldn’t provide the cat with medical care |
| D．the neighbours loved the cat PJ very much |
