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 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 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 stones for success.

小題1:B 推理題。根據(jù)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.可知成功的秘訣在于不要總是責(zé)備別人，尋找借口，而是要尋找問題所在，找到解決的方法。故B正確。

Can you become a creative person? Can you learn to come up with great ideas or learn to create new things? The answer is yes.
The first step to becoming creative is to remove the words “I am not creative” from your vocabulary. Seriously, do not say them or do not say them even inside your head.
Now you need to start looking what other people are doing. The more you see what they are doing, the more you can get a feel for how they think, and how they come up with creative ideas.
Find a way or a place where you feel totally relaxed. This is important so you can let your mind come up with ideas. Write them down as you get them. For me a relaxing place is outside in nature where it is quiet and sunny, or when I take a long drive in my car by myself.
The last step is to write down a few ideas every day.
Repeat the process of reading and observing what similar people are doing and how they are being creative, finding a relaxing place to write down your thoughts, and writing down a few ideas every day until you start seeing this kind of results you are happy with. It may take a few weeks to a few months, but this is the training process you need to put your mind through to become creative.
Remember, looking at things from different angle(角度) can also make a big difference to creativity. Question the way that everyone else is doing something using the same method and see if being different and doing it another way will produce something cool.
小題1:The first step to be creative is to _____.
A．have confidence in yourself
B．look up “creativity” in the dictionary
C．understand the meaning of being creative
D．learn many new words by heart
小題2:The writer develops the fourth paragraph by ______.
A．the order of timeB．the order of space
C．giving examplesD．explaining reasons
小題3:It can be inferred that ______.
A．creativity is a gift people are born with
B．not everyone can be creative
C．it is a piece of cake to be creative
D．creativity can be gained through practice
小題4:The purpose of writing this text is to tell us how to _____.
A．learn to be creative
B．solve problems easily
C．come up with good ideas
D．improve the ability of thinking

What if it isn’t a dog-eat-dog world? What if caring for a dog or for a mom with Alzheimer’s (老年癡呆癥) makes you stronger and allows you to live longer?
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley are challenging our long-held belief that humans are born to be selfish.
Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection was misunderstood by his male followers, the researchers say. Rather than “every man for himself”, Darwin believed that humans are successful as a species precisely because of our educational, selfless and sympathetic characteristics.
Why has it taken so long for Darwin’s central revelation(揭示) to be properly understood? “We’ve had too many men in social science,” Berkeley psychology professor Dacher Keltner told me in an interview. “Female scientists acknowledge that caring for people is part of human nature according to the research, which shows the human ability to care exists in our brains and nerve systems.”
In my book Passages in Caregiving , I urge women who take the whole responsibility for taking care of an elderly parent or a sick relative to build a “Circle of Care”. Reach out to your brothers and sisters, friends, neighbors and community volunteers to help you care, because no one can perform this overwhelming role alone. You will be as shocked as I to learn how the most selfless caregivers are rewarded with longer life.
Sympathy is not a woman’s word. In fact it makes all of us stronger under stress and more highly respected by our peers. For so long we have repeated the false saying “Nice guys finish last”. But the 40 richest Americans committed to doing good by donating half their fortunes are no spring chickens. So here is my new explanation：Nice guys die last.
小題1:The first paragraph serves to       .
A．give the background of the topic
B．blame the world for selfishness
C．urge people to care for a dog
D．bring out the topic of the passage
小題2:In Passages in Caregiving, women are advised to     .
A．share the responsibility of caring with others
B．take good care of themselves
C．learn how to live a longer life
D．help as many people as possible
小題3:The underlined words “no spring chickens” in the last paragraph refer to        .
A．rich peopleB．poor peopleC．young peopleD．a(chǎn)ged people
小題4:Why does the author mention the 40 richest Americans’ commitment in this passage?
A．To argue against offering sympathy.
B．To use it as an example to support his opinion.
C．To show their generosity to society.
D．To call on people to learn from them.
小題5:Which of the following might be the BEST title of the passage?
A．Selflessness could be the secret to longer life
B．Darwin’s theory of evolution is out of date now
C．Measures must be taken to improve the world
D．Males and females have different opinions about selflessness

Life is full of change, and this leads to growth. Change is what keeps our lives moving, and allows us to achieve what we desire and deserve. Like it or not, we need to be willing to go with the flow, and be adaptable when something doesn’t go according to plan. A catalyst is a person that causes something else to happen, and if you’re not currently a catalyst for change, here are some things you can do to become one.
Take a look at what you’ve got going on in your life right now. Write down everything that comes to mind. Is there anything that jumps out at you that you're not content with? Is there something that isn't moving forward as quickly as you would like it to? Identifying what you want to change is the first step to getting somewhere with it.
Take the initiative to make change happen. Once you have identified what you want to work on changing, write down several possible "next steps" you can take to realizing that change. Whatever it is you want to change, you won't get very far without having specific actions in mind to carry out. Start small, and then focus on items that are a bit more involved or difficult and just keep going!
When carrying out a change, it’s great if you’re able to bounce ideas off other people, particularly if they can help you implement that change in some way. Be receptive to feedback, but realize that others’ opinions are not golden. Also remember to give feedback when asked for it. Be sure it's genuine and that you are able to stand behind it.
Create an environment for change. There is nothing more discouraging than trying to create change in an environment that is not conducive to it. It’s like trying to stick to a diet in a house that is filled with chips, cookies, ice cream and chocolate; you are just making it more difficult for yourself.
Change is good, and often leads to process improvement, increased productivity and efficiency. Take the initiative, and make changes to your life to get to where you want to go faster than you are going right now.
小題1:If you decide to change, you should start by _________.
A．going with the flow
B．changing from day to day
C．writing down good ideas
D．making sure you know what to change
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE, according to the fourth paragraph?
A．One should accept others’ opinions uncritically.
B．One should be cautious about the opinions of others.
C．It’s more important to get than to give feedback.
D．Change may not happen without ideas from other people.
小題3:The underlined words “bounce ideas off other people” in the fourth paragraph probably mean
“_________”.
A．get approval from others
B．get your ideas across to other people
C．get others’ feedback about your ideas
D．carry out your ideas without the help of others
小題4:What can we infer from the text?
A．Change benefits us in different ways.
B．Creating a good environment is the most important step.
C．It’s discouraging to try to change one’s environment.
D．Being a catalyst for change is risky but rewarding.
小題5:Which would be the best title for the text?
A．How to achieve what you desire.
B．How to be a catalyst for change.
C．How to act according to your plans.
D．How to move in the right direction.
