Question

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s mistake.” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my mistake; the bus was late.” It is probably not your mistake, 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 paying attention to whom to blame and start paying attention to how to improve the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming(克服) problems. For example, if you were late because the bus was late, maybe you need to leave home early. Or, you might call a taxi or call friends for help when in need. For another example, if your workmate causes you problems on the job for short of responsibility(責(zé)任心) 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 leave this person with some simple jobs. You should accept that the person is not reliable(可靠的) and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your workmate 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(挑戰(zhàn)) and chances to develop their own talents. So, stop paying attention to “whose mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述了人們?cè)诿鎸?duì)問(wèn)題的時(shí)候，不能一味的抱怨和職責(zé)別人，真正成功的人會(huì)面對(duì)問(wèn)題解決問(wèn)題。勝利者會(huì)克服困難，他們把問(wèn)題看做是挑戰(zhàn)和鍛煉自己的機(jī)會(huì)。

1.判斷推理題。根據(jù)文中第一段However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop paying attention to whom to blame and start paying attention to how to improve the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.然而，如果你不去關(guān)注誰(shuí)應(yīng)該受到責(zé)備，而是開(kāi)始關(guān)注于如何改善處境，你將會(huì)獲得強(qiáng)大的能力。這就是成功者的秘訣。故此題選D。

2.判斷推理題。根據(jù)文中第二段內(nèi)容得知，如果是搭檔的不負(fù)責(zé)任或者是能力問(wèn)題而導(dǎo)致了問(wèn)題，不應(yīng)該只顧著去責(zé)備他，而是應(yīng)該找到個(gè)更好的解決問(wèn)題的方法，故此題選B。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中第三段內(nèi)容They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges(挑戰(zhàn)) and chances to develop their own talents.他們只是能更好的看待問(wèn)題，把它們看作是挑戰(zhàn)和提高他們能力的機(jī)會(huì)；故此題選C。

4.標(biāo)題歸納題。這篇文章主要講述了成功者的秘訣，不是去責(zé)備別人，而是面對(duì)問(wèn)題尋找解決問(wèn)題的方法，故此題選A。
