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 aboutcreatively 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.

1.According to the passage, winners .

A. have responsible and able workmates

B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

C. blame themselves rather than others

D. deal with problems rather than blame others

2.When your workmate brings about a problem, you should .

A. blame him for his lack of responsibility

B. find a better way to overcome the problem

C. tell him to find the cause of the problem

D. ask a more able workmate for help

3.When problems happen, winners take them as .

A. excuses for their mistakes

B. difficulties to greater power

C. chances for self-development

D. challenges to their workmates

4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. A Winner’s Secret B. A Winner’s Problem

C. A Winner’s ChanceD. A Winner’s Achievement

You may not have heard the words “freshman fifteen” before, but they are very important for students who are entering university(大學(xué)). A freshman is a first-year college student. “Fifteen” means fifteen pounds---the fifteen pounds added to a student’s weight in his or her first year. There are a number of reasons why first-year university students gain(增加) weight; but it’s encouraging to know that freshmen don’t have to add these harmful fifteen pounds.

Mistakes choosing food

University kitchens serve(供應(yīng)) many kinds of food. Some students choose unhealthy food, because now their patents are not nearby to help them choose. Some students visit the kitchen many times while studying. Late at night, some students get harmful fast food such as fish and chips with Coke to drink. Students also have less time for walking, running, and doing sports because of their schoolwork.

Eating right

If you’re careful, you don’t have to add fifteen pounds. Here are some ideas:

Think more about what you eat.

Eat plenty of vegetables and healthy meats.

Don’t eat desserts full of sugar; have fruit after dinner.

Try not to eat so much unhealthy food while you study.

It’s all right to have a little fast food sometimes---but not often.

Write down the foods you eat.

Walk, run, do sports---move and you will feel better!

Remember that the “freshman fifteen” can happen to anyone. Talk to your friends about it. Together, try to eat healthy food and not to eat unhealthy food. Walking, running, and playing sports is always more fun with friends. Help each other and you can have a healthy and happy freshman year.

1.The “freshman fifteen” is _______.

A. weight that high school students gain

B. weight that first-year university students can gain

C. fifteen pounds of food that first-year students eat

D. fifteen students who eat unhealthy food

2.Which of these mistakes is not mentioned(提及)in the passage?

A. Choosing unhealthy food. B. Visiting the kitchen while studying.

C. Getting fast food at night. D. Eating too much chocolate.

3. Which of these ideas would the writer probably agree with?

A. You’d better not eat unhealthy food.

B. Not eating unhealthy foods is easier with friends’ help.

C. Gaining fifteen pounds can help you study better.

D. Some students can eat anything they want.

“High tech” and “state of the art” are two expressions that describe very modern technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention or system that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering.

What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modern manufacturing  (制造業(yè)的)  system is surely high tech.

High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980’s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens (微波爐), etc. “State of the art” is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest ways and technology. Something that is “state of the art” is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.

“State of the art” is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something.

Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970’s. The reason was the computer revolution(革命). Every computer company claimed (聲稱) that its computers were “state of the art”.

C. “State of the art” became popular later than “high tech”.

3.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Since the computer revolution, the expression “state of the art” has become popular.

B. “State of the art” means something that is the best one can buy.
