Ⅲ.阅读理解(共3小题；每小题2分，满分6分)
When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，“Well，it's so­and­so's fault.” or “I know I'm late，but it's not my fault；the car broke dwon.”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. 31．According to the passage，winners ________.
A．deal with problems rather than blame others
B．meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C．have responsible and able colleagues
D．blame themselves rather than others
答案 A [细节理解题。

由第一段倒数第一、二句可知，成功者的秘诀是问题发生后，不是责备别人而是想法解决问题，故A项正确。

]
32．The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________. A．avoid B．accept C．improve D．consider
答案 C [词义猜测题。

由画线词所在句子的语境可知，成功者的秘诀在于不是把注意力集中在谁该受到责备而是集中在怎样改善糟糕的境况。

此处的动词remedy意为：改进，改正，纠正；improve“改善，改进”符合语境。

]
33．When problems occur，winners take them as ________.
A．excuses for their failures
B．barriers to greater power
C．challenges to their colleagues
D．chances for self­development
答案 D [细节理解题。

由尾段第三句他们只是善于把问题看成是对自我的挑战或是自我提升、发展自己的良机，故排除意为“对同事挑战”的C项，选D项。

A项的“为失败找借口”是失败者的做法，故被排除；B项中的barriers应为stepping stones，故被排除。
