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.

試題分析：本文主要講述的是在發(fā)生困難的時(shí)候，很多人只是在責(zé)備別人，尋找責(zé)任人；而成功的人卻在尋找問題的解決方法，把問題和困難當(dāng)成是解決問題的機(jī)會(huì)，尋找方法來改善具體的情況。這正是成功人士的成功秘訣。
小題1: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A正確。
小題2:猜詞題。根據(jù)本句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. 你不再聚焦于誰該受責(zé)備，而是聚焦于任何改善這種情況。故該詞是指improve,故C項(xiàng)正確。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段4,5行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.說明當(dāng)同事犯錯(cuò)的時(shí)候，我們應(yīng)該尋找問題的解決方法。故A正確。
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)最后一段3,4行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.說明成功的人往往把這樣的困難當(dāng)成是提高自己的機(jī)會(huì)和途徑。故D項(xiàng)正確。

Looking back on my childhood. I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon  abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.    
Before Word War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large  family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.  
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle. Because it all seems to fit together .This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books. Which some may light honor, with the title of scientific research.  
But curiosity a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist? One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made a naturalist. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds. 
小題1:According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be _____
A．full of ambitionB．self-disciplined
C．full of enthusiasmD．knowledgeable
小題2:The first paragraph tells us that the author _____
A．lost his hearing when he was a child
B．didn’t like his brothers and sisters
C．was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood
D．was born to a naturalist’s family
小題3:The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he ____.
A．just rends about other peoples observations and discoveries.
B．Lacks some of the qualities required of scientist.
C．Has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic.
D．Come up with solutions in most natural ways.
小題4:The author can’t remember him relatives clearly because__
A．He didn’t live very long with them
B．He was too young when he lived with them.
C．The family was extremely large
D．He was fully occupied with observing nature.
小題5:Which of the following statements is true?
A．The author believes that a born naturalist can not be scientist.
B．The author read a lot of books about the natural world and oil industry
C．The author’s brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.
D．The author spent a lot of time working on riddles.
