children. we all lived on my parents farm. at 12, i got a 41 milking cows to help support the family. i did this twice a day at five in the morning and 42 at two in the afternoon. one saturday before daylight, i remember 43 to my father and grandfather about having to go milk those cows. it was so tiring. “you know, boy, to work is a 44 ,” said my father. i looked at those two men whod worked harder, 45 i had been told something really important.going to college was then 46 for a kid from lakeland, louisiana. people in our area mainly lived on farming. “ 47 something that you like doing to study, and you will always 48 your work,” my father told me. but he also 49 , “even having a job you hate is 50 than not having a job at all.” i wanted to be a farmer, 51 i joined a military training program to help pay for college. and what started out as an obligation（職責(zé)）to the 52 became a way of life that i 53 devoted to for 37 years.in the late 1980s, when visiting bangladesh, i saw a woman with a baby on her back, 54 bricks with a hammer. i asked a bangladesh military officer why they werent using a machine to make the work 55 . he told me a machine would put that lady out of

so-and-sos fault.” or “i know im late，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 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 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 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 talents 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 on “whose fault it is.” once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.61according to the passage, winners .adeal with problems rather than blame othersbmeet with fewer difficulties in their liveschave responsible and able colleaguesdblame themselves rather that others62when your colleague brings about a problem, you should .aask a more able colleague for helpbblame him for his lack of responsibilityctell him to find the cause of the problemdfind a better way to handle the problem63when problems occur, winners take them as .aexcuses for their failuresbbarriers to greater powercchallenges to their colleaguesdchances for self-development64which of the following is the best title for the passage?aa winners problemba winners secretca winners opportunityda winners achievementbstarting to learn how to swim can be scary and for adults, embarrassing. this is a way you can learn how to swim by yourself without another person. the steps are detailed to help explain the exercise. once you are comfortable with the exercises, go to the next step. now, get out there and have fun!step 1first find the area you will practice in. water should be at least to your waist but lower than your neck. if you experience any problems all you have to do is stand up.start by holding onto the edge of the pool. kick up your feet, and kick your legs alternately. next, keep yourself under water for 5 seconds. exhale（呼氣）when the 5 seconds end as you are going up towards the surface. breathe in after your head breaks the surface and go back under water for another 5 seconds. repeat for 5 minutes.step 2take out your floating device（裝置）put it under your arms. kick your feet up and practice kicking like you do on step 1 with the wall. for now, keep your head out of the water. practice holding your breath and going under water, but try holding your breath for 10 seconds. repeat for 5 minutes.step 3put your floating device under your arms. this time, while kicking, put your head in the water for five seconds. exhale in the water as you bring your head out of the water towards the side of your body. breathe in quickly and then put your head back in the water. continue with this for 10 minutes.along with breathing to the side, practice lifting your head straight out of the water. exhale as you lift your head out of the water after five seconds, breathe in quickly and then put your head in the water again. practice for 5 minutes.step 4you are now going to start using your arms to support yourself. place the floating thing under your chest and use your arms to move yourself. to do this, hold your arms out like a t, ball your fists and bring your arms into your chest. then open your fists into a straight palm（手掌）and straighten out your arms until they are straight and in line with your head. next, start to open your arms to go into the t position again.use force to move yourself and gently pull your arms into your chest. with the floating device you can start slowly, but eventually this should be a smooth, quick single motion.continue your breathing exercise. try to hold your breath for longer than 10 seconds.step 5now add kicking to your first exercise in step 4. while your arms are not moving you should always be kicking. you can alternate（交替）moving your arms and kicking. move your body in the direction you want to go.once you are able to kick and move your arms, add breathing, with your head going straight out of the water. inhale（吸氣）when your arms are in t position. you will exhale on step 3 and bring your head out of the water during step 4 to inhale and go back under on step 1.practice these exercises until you can do them all together without pausing or slowing.step 6now it is time to remove your floating device. start by kicking your feet up, or you can kick off the bottom of the pool sending you into a forward motion.start moving your arms immediately like you do in step 4. breathe by lifting your head straight up. continue the exercise.65the passage is mainly about how to .aovercome water fearbbreathe under watercteach yourself to swimdfollow a coach to swim66which step is

railway linking northeastern chinese city of harbin and port city of dalian will start service on december l, marking the world s first long high-speed line running through regions with extremely low temperatures during winter.with speeds of up to 350 km per hour, the 921-kilometer railway will go through the countrys three northeastern provinces-heilongjiang, jilin, liaoning, as part of the planned beijing-harbin high-speed railways.it is one of the four north-south lines china aims to finish by 2015.unlike current high-speed lines in operation, temperatures along the new route are likely to plunge to 40 degrees celsius below zero.with snow and frozen land, the inclement climate conditions created numerous blocks during the construction process.zhou li, a mor official in charge of technology, said the ministry have conducted 22 research projects to target technology obstacles, including steady monitoring of the track condition and overhead contact system. he said from september to november, the line has undergone 3,030 trial tests in various weather conditions, ranging from normal, low temperature, to heavy snow and even blizzards.test statistics show safety can be guaranteed even if the trains are running at 300 km per hour in winter,” he said.to minimize the impact of extreme weather on the operation, the ministry has created emergency plans, such as speed reductions and temporary halts, to ensure safety.being the first of its kind, the ministry is being cautious by adopting two different schedules. the speed during the winter season（december l to march 31）will be 200 km per hour, with the summer period（april l to november 30）being 300 km per hour.the ministry said ticket prices will vary depending on the schedule.with 23 stops along the route, including that at the renowned industrial base shenyang city, the line will cut travelling times between the two cities to about four hours from nine hours.china aims to create a high-speed railway backbone network featuring four east-west lines and four north-south lines by the end of 2015, according to a five-year plan on china s transport system approved by the state council, china s cabinet.china currently has more than 6, 800 km of high-speed railway lines that run at a speed above 200 km per hour. the total length is expected to reach about 18,000 km by 2015.68the passage is intended to .atell us how difficult it was to build the new rail linebwarn us that the temperature along the new fast一speed rail line is very coldcintroduce to us china will build advanced high-speed railway backbone in the futuredinform us of the good news that a new fast-speed rail line
