Shu Pulong has helped at least 1000 people bitten by snakes. “It was seeing people with snake bites that led me to this career, ”he said.

In 1963, after his army service, Shu entered a medical school and later became a doctor of Chinese medicine. As part of his studies he had to work in the mountains. There he often heard of people who had their arms and legs cut off after a snake bite in order to save their lives.

Sometimes it is impossible to deliver（投递）all the mail that arrives at the post office. Perhaps there is an mailing address and there is no return address. The post office cannot just the mail, so it becomes “dead mail”. Dead mail is to one of the U.S. Post Service’s in Atlanta, New York, and San Francisco. Seventy-five million pieces of mail can be put in these offices in one year.

There the workers of the dead mail offices have ways to deal with all of these pieces of dead mail. First of all, they look for something that can help them deliver the mail; they open packages, expecting that something will show where the package came from or is going to. Dead mail will also be listed on a so that people can call in and check to see if a missing thing is there on the screen. However, all of this mail cannot simply be forever; there is just too much of it. When a lot of dead mail comes together, the dead mail offices hold public auctions (拍卖). Every three months, some people who are are invited to the offices with objects（物品） found in dead mail packages and they are sold to the bidder (出价者).

2.A. turn off B. eat up C. sell out D. throw away

3.A. sent B. returned C. lent D. sold

4.A. no B. several C. silly D. cruel

5.A. waste B. expensive C. useful D. new

6.A. funny B. inside C. useless D. outside

7.A. phone B. mirror C. TV set D. computer

8.A. kept B. put C. bought D. borrowed

10.A. cheapest B. cleverest C. highest D. easiest

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(责备) 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.

A. have responsible and able workmates
