One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet viewing of the wonderful paintings.
A young couple were viewing the paintings in front of me and chatting with each other without stop. I watched them for a moment and noticed the man’s wife was doing all the talking. I was surprised to see that the man was so patient and could stand his wife’s words, but I still moved on.
I met them several times when I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard she continued talking about the paintings, I moved away quickly.
I was buying some gifts in the museum shop when the couple came near to the gate. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out something brown. He turned it into a long stick and then tapped(轻敲) his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He’s a brave man,” a clerk beside me said. “Most of us would give up if we became blind at such a young age. During his treatment, he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot , more than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting, so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience(耐心), courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person who was blind and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to make his life different. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away holding each other’s hands.

In front of my daughter, Shelly, was a bowl filled with cabbage. She hated cabbage. She only sat there in silence with tears in her eyes.
“Shelly, my dear, why don’t you eat a little? If not, your mum will shout at us.”
Shelly didn’t feel happy. “OK, dad. I will eat, just a little.” Then Shelly said, “Dad, if I eat it all, will you give me what I want?”
“Yes.”
Slowly she began to eat. It took her almost half an hour to finish all the food in the bowl. Then she came up to me and said, “Dad, I want to have my hair cut off!”
“Shelly, why don’t you ask for something else? If we see your head like that, we’ll feel very sad,” I said.
“But Dad, you promised! Now you’re going back on your words. ”
I had to keep my promise. Shelly had all her hair cut off. She smiled.
On Monday morning, I took Shelly to school. Just when I arrived, a boy got out of a car and shouted, “Shelly, please wait for me!”

The story was a true one and still moved me deeply. Thirty years ago，I got to know a   36 lady named Rose. She had no kids and lived alone.     37­­­­­­   I went to visit her, I always took Rose some coffee and food. One day she said she    38    me to have hunch.
We walked from my work place to a little restaurant on David Street.    39    the way, I began to worry: I knew that she had no money, but if I offered(提供) to    40   the lunch，I was afraid I would hurt her.
There were many people in the    41    and all of them were happy. Rose told me to sit and drink coffee by the window. Then she went to    42  in the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, she came out and sat with me. She just paid for one meal and we started to   43  the delicious food together. She told    44    that the restaurant let people work for a meal if they had no money, or would give them a free meal if they were not able to work. To my surprise, she also explained that the workers who were working there were all    45   .
I     46    remember the beautiful afternoon I shared with Rose.    47    we had a meal together only once, it was paid by Rose's work. The weather was    48    and bright, and everyone's smile was warm and bright as well.
I’m still thinking that life cannot be easy to us, but we can still do     49    for our friends and neighbors. The world will be     50    if everybody would like to share happiness with others. It will never be dark if there is a light in everyone's heart.

把A~E五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整、正确。
When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s mistake.” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my mistake; the bus was late.” It is probably not your mistake, 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 paying attention to whom to blame and start paying attention to how to improve the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming(克服) problems. For example, if you were late because the bus was late, maybe you need to leave home early. Or, you might call a taxi or call friends for help when in need. For another example, if your workmate causes you problems on the job for short of responsibility(责任心) 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 leave this person with some simple jobs. You should accept that the person is not reliable(可靠的) and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your workmate 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(挑战) and chances to develop their own talents. So, stop paying attention to “whose mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
小题1:According to the passage, winners               .
A．have responsible and able workmates
B．meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C．blame themselves rather than others
D．deal with problems rather than blame others
小题2:When your workmate brings about a problem, you should               .
A．blame him for his lack of responsibility
B．find a better way to overcome the problem
C．tell him to find the cause of the problem
D．ask a more able workmate for help
小题3:When problems happen, winners take them as               .
A．excuses for their mistakes
B．difficulties to greater power
C．chances for self-development
D．challenges to their workmates
小题4:Which of the following is the best title for the passage？
A．A Winner’s SecretB．A Winner’s Problem
C．A Winner’s ChanceD．A Winner’s Achievement
