24、but its 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
25、 you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winners 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 migh
26、t 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 per
27、son. Ask to work with a different person, or dont 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 aboutcreatively using your skills and tal
28、ents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners dont 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
29、on “whose fault it is. ” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success. 51. According to the passage, winners _. A. deal with problems rather than blame others B. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able col
30、leagues D. blame themselves rather than others 52. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _. A. avoid B. accept C. improve D. consider 53. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should _. A. ask a more able colleague for help B. blame him for his lack of responsi
31、bility C. tell him to find the cause of the problem D. find a better way to handle the problem 54. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A Winners Secret. B. A Winners Problem. C. A Winners Opportunity. D. A Winners Achievement.BAt first, I thought it was just useless e-mails.
32、 It was the end of the weekend and I hadnt checked my e-mails since late Friday afternoon. There was a long list of messages. Some I removed without reading. Others were from friends - I saved those to read later when I had more time.One stood out from the rest for two reasons. The first was the nam
33、e, Maher Nawaf, which I didnt recognize. The second was the subject line: “pleas papers.” Clearly, the e-mail was from someone who did not have a complete mastery of the English language.The message was from an Iraqi, a university research scientist in Mosul who wanted permission to reprint a resear
34、ch paper I had written. As a scientist, Im used to getting these kinds of requests; its part of the give and take among researchers that I especially like. I wrote back the next day, asking for more information about the type of work he was doing. I also wished him and his family best for their safe
35、ty and well-being during this dangerous time in his land.A couple of days later, his reply appeared in my inbox. It read, in part: “hi dear Dr. Im very happy to hear good news from you and your help, also I d like to thank you for your feelings towards me and my family . thank you very much for help
36、. I also want to tell you that Im ready to help you in Mosul university, Iraq if you need that.”Maher also explained in his broken English that he was interested in a paper Id written on the use of lactobacillus acidophilus (a healthy product that can be found in yogurt (酸奶) and other foods). It was
37、 his hope that he could use my findings to help find a treatment for gastrointestinal (消化系统的) illness. He signed off “warmest regards to you and lovely family.”Despite his difficulty with the language, he had painted a picture for me at far more than a simple request for information. The humanity di
38、splayed in his message made me want to both smile and cry.55. Why did the e-mail from an Iraqi catch the author s attention？A. The subject line was not written in standard English.B. It was not completely written in English.C. The senders name seemed familiar. D. It had a short subject line.56. What
39、 does the author like to do as a scientist with other researchers？A. Reprint research paper.B. Exchange research finding.C. Chat with them on the Internet.D. Wish each other the best of luck.57. Besides work interest, the Iraqi and the authors e-mails also displayed_.A. heart-warming friendly feelin
40、gsB. medicine to treat certain diseaseC. news about each others family D. their opinions on wars58. What can we infer from the text？A. The author of the text is a language teacher.B. Iraqi people are much happier now than before.C. The Internet can bring people closer to each other.D. Even knowing a
41、 little English can help you learn a lot. CWhen you put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam, 12 hard years of study will have come to an end. Forget your studies for a while. Its time to enjoy yourselves !There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can h
42、ave photos taken with your classmates and teachers，or dine out together and exchange gifts. High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation. Its to mark the time kids turn into young men and women. After the prom，teenagers e
43、ither go to college or find a job. It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before.At the prom，boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties，though many different types of formal clothes are worn .Traditionally，girls give boys matching boutonnieres(a small collectio
44、n of flowers they pin to their jackets)Girls traditionally wear formal dresses，or dress to shock or be noticed，in shiny or brightly colored materials.Common prom activities include dining，dancing，the crowning(加冠)of a prom king and queen，and just talking to friends. In some cases，high school students
45、 collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school. High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or，to be unusual，on a pleasure cruise boat.But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of effort to decorate th
46、e gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds，like rock and hip-hop.The students elect the Prom Queen. She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly. These are great honors that the pair take very seriously. The two dance with each other to
47、 celebrate their election. Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the prom. But others like to go with friends, to whom they are soon going to be saying goodbye.If you like the idea of a prom，why dont you and your classmates organize one for your graduation?59What does the word “prom” probably me

It aims to find out similarities and differences that exist between two countries in their educational system.While some ed
60、ucationists in China keep a doubtful eye to the countrys educational system in recent years. Their American counterparts give a positive answer to the basic education in China, saying that it is still one of the best in the world.An American educationist told reporters that the basic education in th
61、e US was criticized in recent years due to its political tendency. On the contrary, Chinese governments stress on basic education and qualified teachers has set a good example.At primary and middle school, pupils in China did better in math and science lessons than the US pupils. However, few grow t
62、o be world “masters”. Why?
