         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 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 situation 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.
    1. 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 others rather than themselves
    2. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to         .
    A. avoid  
    B. accept  
    C. improve  
    D. consider
    3. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should      .
    A. find a better way to handle the problem    
    B. blame him for his lack of responsibility
    C. tell him to find the cause of the problem    
    D. ask another person for help
    4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
    A. Winner's Secret.                  
    B. A Winner's Problem.
    C. A Winner's Opportunity.

         Would you like to be a king or queen? To have people waiting on you hand and foot? Many
    Americans experience this royal treatment every day. How? By being customers. The American
    idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention. Need proof? Just listen
    to the commercials. Most of them sound like the McDonald's ad: "We do it all for you." Actually,
    not all stores in America roll out the red carpet for their customers. But wherever you go, good
    customer service means making customers feel special.
          People going shopping in America can expect to be treated with respect from the very beginning.
    Most places don't have a "furniture street" or a "computer road" which allow you to compare prices
    easily. Instead, people often "let their fingers do the walking" through the store hot lines. From the
    first "hello", customers receive a satisfying response to their questions. This initial contact can help
    them decide where to shop.
         When customers get to the store, they are treated as honored guests. Customers don't usually find
    store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards. Instead, the clerks greet them warmly and
    offer to help them find what they want. In most stores, the clear signs that label each department make
    shopping a breeze. Customers usually don't have to ask how much items cost, since prices are clearly
    marked. And unless they're at a flea market or a yard sale, they don't bother trying to bargain.
         When customers are ready to check out, they find the nearest and shortest checkout lane. But as
    Murphy's Law would have it, whichever lane they get in, all the other lanes will move faster. Good
    stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes get too long. Some even offer express lanes for
    customers with 10 items or less. After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a
    warm "thank you" from the clerk. Many stores even allow customers to take their shopping carts out
    to the parking lot. That way, they don't have to carry heavy bags out to the car.
    1. By quoting (引用) the McDonald's ad: "We do it all for you", the author intends to_______.
    A. suggest that customers believe what commercials say deeply
    B. show readers the American idea on good customer service
    C. express all the stores pay much attention to the customers
    D. persuade readers to choose the stores with ads correctly
    2. In the USA, what may you do at first if you want to do some shopping?
    A. To visit a professional street with lots of similar stores.
    B. To compare prices in many shops in the same street.
    C. To make phone calls and get better shopping choices.
    D. To receive other customers' answers to the questions.
    3. Which of the followings shows American stores offer convenience to customers in this passage?
    A. The store clerks don't usually sit around watching TV or playing cards.
    B. Some stores offer price bargain to the customers like a yard sale.
    C. The clerks give customers a smile and a warm "thank you" after paying.
    D. Some stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes are crowded.
    4. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
    A. Customer Service in America
    B. Excellent Stores in America
    C. Shopping Rules in America
    D. Being King or Queen in America

    you are in it. There's always a chance that someone might sneak in while you are unaware. Always try
    to remember to close doors behind you to ensure your safety.
        2. Don't lose your keys.
        Even if you do everything you can to keep the doors locked, criminals might still be able to come into
    your house with a key. Always know where your keys are to prevent this. Never put them down in a
    public place or give them to friends. Also, before you bring your car into the repair shop, take off the
    house keys.
        3. When it comes to safety, standing up for yourself is important.
        If you aren't getting all the security features you want, don't be afraid to ask. If your lighting situation
    is less than ideal, discuss this with your supervisor or landlord. Talk to the campus security organization
    if you think a security phone near your dorm is a good idea. Request that the building employ someone
    to monitor those entering and leaving the building. You should feel safe where you reside (居住于), so
    stand up for your rights.
        4. Be careful.
        You still might find yourself in a potentially dangerous situation. Check your peephole (窥视孔) before
    letting anyone in. Whenever you witness something around your building that makes you uncomfortable
    or suspicious just dial 911. It is a good idea to always walk with a friend instead of alone. Become familiar with people who live in the building, so you can keep track of anyone that is a stranger.
