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 can 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 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.
小題1:According to the passage, winners           
A.deal with problems rather than blame others
B.meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C.have responsible and able colleagues
D.blame themselves rather than others
小題2:The underlined word remedy in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to        
A.avoidB.acceptC.improveD.consider
小題3:When your colleague brings about a problem, you should           
A.find a better way to handle the problem
B.blame Nm for his lack of responsibility
C.tell him to find the cause of the problem
D.ask your boss for help
小題4:When problems occur, winners take them as            
A.excuses for their failuresB.barriers to greater power
C.challenges to their colleaguesD.chances for self-development

Life is difficult.
This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend (超越) it. Once we truly know that life is difficult — once we truly understand and accept it — then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.
Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, those things that hurt, instruct. It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
小題1:The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to ________.
A.save space B.persuade readers C.make readers laughD.get readers’ attention
小題2:According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to________.
A.encourage them to learn B.teach them to fear the pain of solving the problem
C.help them learn to deal with painD.teach them how to respect for problems
小題3:From the passage, it can be inferred that _________.
A.everybody has problems
B.we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life
C.life is difficult because our problems bring us pain
D.people like to complain about their problems

It’s only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it “extremely embarrassing” in a company-wide e-mail — which, __36__, he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what I did was something __37__ in the company should ever do.
I wish I __38__ give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least, I wish I could explain it somehow — __39__ it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I’m __40__, experienced and I know better.
__41__ I work with some very kind and compassionate(富于同情心的) people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to __42__ by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar __43__ they have made. Evidently I’m not the only “ __44__ ” person here.

As I expected, Lois didn’t pass over the __48__ when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly, __49__ with empathetic(體恤別人感受的) consideration. She listened to my   __ 50__. Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity partly to a(n)   __51__.
“It happened”, she said, “There’s nothing you can do to __52__ that. It happened. But it’s over now. It’s __53__. It’s in the past. You need to let it go, and move on.” And with that she returned her __54__ to her work, as if to say, “We’re done here.”
I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those __55__ words: It’s over. It’s done. Let it go. And mostly, move on.

Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who the true winners of a game were.
Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test---unless the person cheats again.
People lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and may be at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating, even when there seems to be a good reason for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before the day and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with you parents about how to balance swimming and school.
A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解決辦法) together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.
小題1:The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, ______.
A it is unfair to other people.         B it does harm to their health.
C teachers should punish them.     D teachers shouldn’t stop them at once.
小題2:Some students like cheating mainly because______.
A the material in the test is very difficult.
B they want to do better than the others.
C cheating can make hard things seem very easy.
D they have little time to study their lessons.
小題3:The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.
A some kids can’t pass the test without cheating   B why kids cheat in the test.
C. cheating isn’t a good idea. D some kids don’t spend the time studying.
小題4:We can learn from the passage _______.
A cheaters are often thought highly of
B people show no respect for those who cheat.
C parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble.
D kids cheat in the test because of swim practice.

It is said that usually people learn from their experiences and the mistakes they make throughout their lives. This is correct because life teaches us what is correct to do and what is not.
Let’s consider a mistake that one has made while trying to learn to drive. It is true that, for a beginner, it is common to make mistakes, but after doing something wrong once, twice or three times, it is quite impossible to make the same mistake a fourth time. Everyone tries their best in order to improve their skills and they will be very pleased to notice that these improvements really happen.
On the other hand, being successful in everything he does, one cannot know what failure means. He would always see only the best side of things and it would be difficult for him to face the difficulties to come in the future. Here we can mention the case of a very successful football player, who has known what fame (名聲) is from the very beginning of his career. We have to admit that most of his luck originates from the great talent that he was born with. But some fellow players can also work to achieve the same thing because they make mistakes in their games and they learn from each mistake that they make.
In the end, we can say that one needs to make mistakes in life in order to better appreciate things. And at the same time, mistakes teach us how important it is to fight for something we wish for in life. Of course, moments of happiness will come in return when we see the changes or improvements.
小題1:The author mentions learning driving in the second paragraph to ______________.
A.make a comparison
B.explain that learning is a slow process
C.show that driving is a very difficult skill
D.prove that success results from failure
小題2:What is the author’s attitude towards someone that is always successful at something?
A.He thinks they are lucky.B.He is bored with them.
C.He wants to learn from them.D.He believes their success is a bad thing.
小題3:Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?
A.B.C.D.

Mother’s Day is the time you say “thank you” to your mom. Stop shopping at the store. Flowers and other things in stores are too common to mention. You can choose a special gift for Mother’s Day! Just try staying close to home—and heart —write a Mother’s Day poem for her.
Use your head. Think of special moments when you were a child, times you’ve shared with your mom, things she did for you, and why you love her. Write down how those moments influenced you. Write down everything you can think of. This is your inspiration for the poem.
Look at what you wrote and pick out those things that are connected(有聯系的). See if any words rhyme(押韻). It’s fine to write a free poem(one without rhymes), but many people find poems with rhymes are easier to work with, easier to read and quite catchy(容易記住的). If no words rhyme but you want your poem to, try to find connecting words that can help connect memories.
Once you have a few sentences, put them in a good order. For example, you could start with a childhood memory and end with something you remember from last month.
Add a title that shows the feeling of the poem. Even something as simple as “For Mom” can work, although something more personal might be better.
Write it in pen if you have beautiful handwriting. Read the poem over breakfast on Mother’s Day, and then hand it to your mom. Let’s wait and see the smile and tears of happiness on her face.
小題1:Why does the author suggest writing down everything you think of?
A. Because it will show your mother’s love.
B. Because it will bring you inspiration.
C. Because it can be shared with others.
C. Because it can help answer questions.
小題2:It’s better to write a poem with rhymes because     .
A.it is easier to read and remember
B.it makes the poem more interesting
C.it shows the unforgettable moments
D.it shows how things are connected
小題3:The best title for the poem should be one that        .
A.can be read easily and quickly
B.includes a few sentences
C.has some special words.
D.shows the feeling of words.
小題4:The passage mainly tells us         .
A.what to do on Mother’s Day.
B.what to buy for Mother’s Day.
C.how to write a Mother’s Day poem.
D.how to write good poems for Christmas.
