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)生困難的時候，很多人只是在責備別人，尋找責任人；而成功的人卻在尋找問題的解決方法，把問題和困難當成是解決問題的機會，尋找方法來改善具體的情況。這正是成功人士的成功秘訣。
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。
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備，而是聚焦于任何改善這種情況。故該詞是指improve,故C項正確。
3.細節(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.說明當同事犯錯的時候，我們應該尋找問題的解決方法。故A正確。
4.細節(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成是提高自己的機會和途徑。故D項正確。

Grown-ups know that people and objects are solid. At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding?
To see whether babies know objects are solid. T. Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion (視覺影像) of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could be expected to show surprised in their faces and movements. All the 16 to 24-week-old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there.
Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land?
Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to re-appear. If the experiment took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The researcher substituted (替換) a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not seem to notice the switch (更換). Thus, the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of “something permanence,” while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object

  1. 1.

    1. A.
      babies’ sense of sight
    2. B.
      effects of experiments on babies
    3. C.
      babies’ understanding of objects

    1. A.
      still exists
    2. B.
      keeps its shape
    3. C.
      still stays solid
