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(同事) 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.

Ten years ago, I used to be very fit. __1.__ I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days, I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.

__2.__ The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.

There’s a lot of stress (壓力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to.

Then I had another glass, and then another. __ 3.__ I never used to smoke at all.

A good teacher is many things to many people. In my own experience, the people I respect the most and think about the most are the teachers who demanded (要求) the most discipline (紀(jì)律) from their students.

I miss one teacher in particular that I had in high school. I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person. I remember very vividly (清晰地) a sign over her classroom door. It was a simple sign that said, Laboratoryin this room the first five letters of the word was emphasized (強(qiáng)調(diào)), not the last seven.In other words, I guess, labor for her was more important than oratory, which means making speeches.

She prepared her work very carefully and demanded us to do the same. We got lots of homework from her. Once she had broken her arm, and everybody in the class thought that maybe the homework load would be reduced, but it continued just the same. She checked our work by stamping her name at the bottom of the papers to show that she had read them.

I think sometimes teachers who demand the most are liked the least. But as time goes by, this discipline really seems to benefit (有益于) the students.

1.Which of the following is considered a good teacher by the writer?

A. A patient teacher. B. An honest teacher.

C. A strict teacher. D. A hard-working teacher.

2.The teacher put up the sign over her classroom door ___.

A. to remind the students that this room was a laboratory

B. to advise the students to follow the disciplines

C. to warn the students not to be careless

D. to tell the students to work hard in the classroom

3.When the teacher’s arm was broken, she ___.

A. gave her students the usual amount of homework

B. gave her students less homework

C. asked her students to check the homework themselves

D. gave her students more homework

4.What’s the writer’s opinion of discipline?

A. It makes the students dislike their teachers.

B. It does good to the students in the long run.

C. It’s too much for young children.

D. It does more harm than good to the students.
