I had a friend who visited me from out of town and I wanted to show him the CN Tower. It was one of the tallest structures on the earth. So I thought it would offer a (n) 36 sight.
We were standing in line for 45minutes to enjoy the 37 up to the watch point. When we got there, we went around the 38 of the tower and saw the hard wire fence 39 to the structure serving as a barrier. We went back inside to look for the glass floor that provided a direct view 40 . As soon as both of us 41 , we stopped before walking onto it. We found that our legs began to 42 . I stopped for a minute 你 who have stood on it before.”I began to 46 that step onto the glass floor. I didn’t look down — 47 not for a few minutes.
I walked on the 48 and looked around and thought about how 49 the experience was. I even found myself jumping up and down. There was no 50 , and it was certainly an illusion.
I considered how many things in our lives we 51 and exactly how many of them are actually illusions. I thought about all the things we 52 ourselves from doing because we have 53 ourselves into thinking there’s risk. I thought about all the things that I still have yet to do that appeared 54 . I was glad to discover that although fear isn’t a stranger to me, my desire to live a life without 55 has a much stronger pull.

School was over and I was both mentally and physically tired. I sat at the very front of the bus because of 11 to get home. Sitting at the front makes you 12 out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.
Janie, the driver, tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere by striking the match of 13 .
I try to mind my manners and 14 listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, 15, her conversation was worth listening to.
“My father’s sick, ”she said to no one in 16 . 1 could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes. With a sudden change of attitude and interest, I asked, “What’s wrong with him?”

I suddenly felt very25. I realized I had only thought of people as 26 as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and just considered her 27.
For all I know, I’m just another person in 28 else’s world, and may not even be important. I 29 not have been so selfish and self-centred. Everyone has places to go to, people to see and appointments to 30 . Understanding people is an art.

A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.
Walking up to a department store’s cloth counter, a(n) 26 young woman said,“I want to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?”
“Only one 27 per yard,” replied the smirking (自鸣得意的) male clerk.
Not to be 28 back by the funny words, the woman said,” That’s fine! I’ll take ten yards.”
With 29 written all over his face, the clerk 30 measured out and wrapped the cloth, then held it out teasingly(戏弄地 ), 31 forward to receive his “ 32 ”.
The woman got the package quickly from the clerk and 33 to a little old man standing beside her. “Grandpa will pay the bill instead of me,” she 34 .
He was no 35 disappointed. But in the course of living, many people are 36 when others do not 37 their expectations. In order to be happy, some expectations must be 38 .These three particular 39 and unhealthy expectations are some of the main causes:

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 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 stop on for success.
小题1: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 |
小题2:When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .| A．ask a more able colleague for help | | B．blame him for his lack of responsibility | | C．tell him to find the cause of the problem | | D．find a better way to handle the problem |
小题3: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 |
小题4: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. |
