【題目】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.

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】理解題。由第一段最后兩句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. 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】推斷題。由第一自然段倒數(shù)第二句中stop 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】理解題。由第二段第四句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.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�？芍�(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】細(xì)節(jié)題。由最后一自然段They 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。

【5】主旨推斷題。文章講述了人們對(duì)待問(wèn)題的不同態(tài)度，而成功的人往往把問(wèn)題視為自我提升的機(jī)會(huì)，失敗者則往往選擇責(zé)備他人，由此可看，文章主要講述的是成功者的成功秘訣。故選A。

【題目】Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.

In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a very cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera .All they have to do is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.

Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it ,so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they have actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn’t it?

【題目】There is an old saying about volunteer work that goes like this: No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.

Today, many people volunteer their time and energy to help others. There are a lot of ways to meet other people’s needs. For example, some volunteers provide help after a disaster. Others are happy to get dirty while repairing homes or planting trees or flowers in poor neighborhoods（地區(qū)）. Young people see suffering and loneliness around them and find ways to help. And history lovers help archeologists（考古學(xué)家）search for ancient objects to help deepen knowledge of the past.

Volunteers also work in many areas around the world, including Haiti（海地）. More than two years have passed since a 7.0 earthquake shook the nation. The exact number of people who died may never be known. Thousands of survivors of the Haitian earthquake still live in temporary（臨時(shí)的）shelters. Last year, former American President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn joined five hundred Habitat volunteers in the town of Leogane to build houses.

Organizations do not have to be large to get volunteers. An activist group in Dharamsala, India is a good example. Jodie Underhill from England arrived in northern India several years ago. She planned to volunteer for an environmental project. She could almost not believe how much rubbish was ruining some of the area’s most beautiful sights. Ms Underhill learned about how to deal with the rubbish while taking part in other volunteer projects. But soon enough she formed her own group, Mountain Cleaners. Ms Underhill says the work is very hard. But she praises the group’s efforts as a wonderful experience. The young English woman says the Indian media started calling her “Garbage Girl”. And she says she was pleased with the name.

American teenagers also volunteer in many ways.

【1】The author uses an old saying in the first paragraph to .

A. introduce the topic of the passage

B. draw the readers’ attention to care for the poor

C. encourage people to become volunteers

D. explain the meaning of volunteer work

【2】What did former American President Jimmy Carter do as a volunteer?

A. Give some money to the poor in Haiti.

B. Plant trees and flowers in Haiti’s park.

C. Help archeologists search for ancient objects

D. Help to build houses after a disaster.

【3】How did Jodie Underhill feel when she saw beautiful sights ruined by the rubbish?

A. shocked B. pleased C. moved D. interested

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A. The number of people died in Haiti’s earthquake is unclear.

B. Ms Underhill formed her own group to make money.

C. History lovers mainly learn the history from ancient objects.

D. Ms Underhill was called “Garbage Girl” by American media.

【5】What may the next passage talk about?

A. The reason why people offer their services to others.

B. The way to join in a volunteer group.

C. The volunteer work that American teenagers do.

D. The benefits that volunteers can achieve.

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.

【題目】The power of humor and laughter is numerous. They entertain us and make us feel good. But, above all, we have discovered that humor and laughter are the best medicine. They relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety, and are anti-aging and longevity facilitators.

They are extremely necessary for helping us to find and maintain a balance between life and work. However, they are slipping away from us. We have become far too serious. The only ones who still enjoy humor, laughter, fun and play to the fullest are young children. Children tend to laugh an average of 200 times a day. For adults, however, it is a totally different story.

In the 1950s people laughed on average 18 times a day. Today, we are lucky if we average between 4-6 times a day.

As a matter of fact, a recent study found that people laugh 6 more times in the presence of one person but 30 more times in a group of people. You can get a chuckle(咯咯笑) from jokes you get on the Internet, but it is not the same as belly jiggling laughter (a deep laugh) you get when you interact with others.

Socializing with friends and relatives was much looked forward to. However, this is no longer the case. In fact, the majority of people can hardly find time, nor do they have the inclination towards socializing outside home. They turn to electronic media such as television, computers, the Internet, videos, CDs, and audio equipment, which can provide them with instant self-entertainment at the push of a button.

The workplace does not fare(進(jìn)展) much better. Due to the pressures to produce more in the same or fewer hours available and to compete, for example, in a manufacturing field with cheaper labor elsewhere in the world, humor and laughter in the workplace have gradually eroded（逐漸毀壞） away.

I have developed a real appreciation, perhaps closer to a strong desire for the power of humor and laughter. This encouraged me to write my first book titled “The Power of Humor” and subsequently my second book titled “Kids Say the Goggonest Things” based on the natural humor, laughter, play and fun that kids experience and they freely share with parents, grandparents and teachers.

From writing about humor and laughter, people start to ask me to speak up for them. To date, I have developed a number of humor-laughter topics that I use in my keynote presentations. You are invited to subscribe to my free monthly e-magazine “The Humormeister’s Forum” by clicking on the Free Humor E-zine navigation button on the website.

【1】According to the author, laughter is leaving us partly because ________.

A. we treat everything in a serious way

B. it relieves pain, reduces stress and anxiety

C. we fail to maintain balance between life and work

D. the pace of change in our lives is becoming faster

【2】The fourth paragraph mainly tells us that ________.

A. getting a deep laugh nowadays is difficult

B. we can entertain ourselves with the help of the Internet

C. people laugh more heartily when spending time with others

D. researchers have made a new discovery about the effect of laughter

【3】The underlined word inclination in Paragraph 5 most probably means ________.

A. destination B. tendency

C. attitude D. approach

【4】Which of the following articles can we most probably find in The Humormeisters Forum?

A. The power of honesty.

B. Dont be your own worst enemy.

C. Live life purposefully: The relationship within.

D. Funny Christmas stories to share with your loved ones.
