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.
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 that others

The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .

A．avoid

D．consider

When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .

A．blame him for his lack of responsibility	B．find a better way to handle the problem
C．tell him to find the cause of the problem	D．ask a more able colleague for help

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 self-development

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.

D
Louie was my neighbor. He was a strong man with powerful hands. One day, when I saw him brush the dirt off a child’s injured knee, I was shocked by his kindness. Over time, I found that he was attractive. We both loved the same books, but when it came to music, we were from different planets. Most importantly, he loved my children as much as me. We fell in love. I was divorced (离婚) from an unlucky marriage, and I wondered if a new marriage would be the best thing for my daughters. I knew that Louie was wondering if his great love could help my daughters forget the damage caused by their father. One day my daughter Jenny told me that if I wanted to marry again, she would like me to marry some-one like Louie. Of course, Jenny gave Louie a speech about what she expected out of a father and what she would consider as proper behavior. I thought that Louie would run away, but he stayed on. Helen, my six-year-old daughter gave him advice, too. Finally, with tears in my eyes, I said, "Helen, I don’t know what’s inside some men’s hearts, but I know Louie’s heart. He loves you. He loves all of us, and if there is any-one who can be your 'real' Daddy, he can. I’m going to tell him 'yes', for all of us!" We had a celebration dinner that night. Louie, Helen, Jenny, Michelle and I drank to a new future, a new family, and a new hope, where children are always treasured (珍爱) and every Daddy is "real".

C
In many businesses, computers have largely replaced paperwork, because they are fast, effective（高效的）, and do not make mistakes．As one banker said, “Unlike humans, computers never have a bad day.” And they are honest.
Many banks advertise that their work is “untouched by human hands” and therefore safe from human attack. Computers have no reason to steal money. But they also have no sense, and the growing number of computer crimes (犯罪) shows they can be used to steal.
Computer criminals don’t use guns. And even if they are caught, it is hard to punish them because there are no witness (证人) and often no proof (证据). A computer cannot remember who used it and simply does what it is told. The head teller(出纳) at a New York City bank used a computer to steal more than one and a half billion dollars in just four years. No one noticed this because he moved the money from someone else’s account (帐目)．This man was caught only because he was a gambler (赌徒). When the police broke up a gambling group, his name was in the records.
Some workers use the computer’s power to get revenge（报复）on bosses they consider unfair. Recently, a large company fired its computer assistant (助手) for reasons that were connected with her personal rather than her professional（职业的）life. She was given thirty days’ notice. In those thirty days, she got rid of all the company’s computerized records.
Most computer criminals have been workers in low position. Now police wonder if this is “the tip of the iceberg（冰山）”. As one of the officials says, “I have a feeling that there are more crimes out there than we are catching. What we are seeing now is all so poorly done. I wonder what the real experts are doing — the ones who really know how a computer works.”
69. Which character of computers makes computer crimes possible﹖
A. Computers are fast, effective and exactly correct．
B. Computers always feel good．
C. Computers have no sense．
D. Computers are honest．
70. It is hard to catch computer criminals because_________．
A. computers forget who used them
B. computer criminals seldom bear witness or leave proof
C. computer criminals don’t use guns
D. computers simply do what they are told
71. A certain head teller(出纳) at a New York bank was caught when _________．
A. his name was found in gambling records
B. he was replacing the missing money from someone else’s account
C. a customer (顾客) questioned the balance in his account
D. a customer asked the police for help
72. Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Computers can be used to steal．
B. Sometimes, computers can be used to punish somebody．
C. We need someone who knows computer very well．
D. Computers can do the things it is told．
