Here is an unusual story: a diamond ring was recently found in an egg. The magician, Liu Qian, discovered it, in front of an audience of millions at CCTV`s Spring Festival Gala. Liu`s magic tricks have made the centuries-old art of magic fashionable (時(shí)髦的)once again, and made him the hottest magician in China.
As a seasoned (老練的) young magician from Taiwan, Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows. Countries he has performed in include the United States, Japan, South Korea and the UK.
Witnessing (目擊)something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of people`s love for magic.
Liu is known for his interaction(互動(dòng)) with his audiences. He has a special understanding of performing skills.
“It is actually thinking , rather than one`s performing skills, that is more important to achieve a successful magic show. We think carefully about how to design the shows creatively，to make them appear more attractive.” Liu said.
Liu Qian`s success dates back to his childhood. Born in 1976 in Taiwan, he found himself attracted to a magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old. At the age of 12, he won Taiwan`s Youth Contest, which was judged by the great American magician, David Copperfield.  
Yet, Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. He studied Japanese literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur (業(yè)余的) magician in his spare time. However, his failure to find a decent (體面的) job after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career.
To improve his performing skills, he has performed on streets, roads and fields, for passers-by, policemen and farmers.

科目：高中英語 來源：2010年浙江省余姚中學(xué)高一上學(xué)期期中考試英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

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 the 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】According to the passage, winners        .

A．deal with problems rather than blame othersB．meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C．have responsible and able colleaguesD．blame themselves rather that others
【小題2】The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to        .
A．a(chǎn)voidB．a(chǎn)cceptC． improve D．consider
【小題3】 When your colleague brings about a problem, you should         .
A．blame him for his lack of responsibilityB．find a better way to handle the problem
C．tell him to find the cause of the problemD．a(chǎn)sk a more able colleague for help
【小題4】When problems occur, winners take them as         
A．excuses for their failuresB．barriers to greater power
C．challenges to their colleaguesD．chances for self-development
【小題5】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．A Winner’s Problem.B．A Winner’s Secret.
C．A Winner’s Opportunity.D．A Winner’s Achievement.
