30、lowed by several questions or unfinished statements. for each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c and d. choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.a a failed plot to kill barack obama, uncovered by us federal agents recently, has reminded people of the

31、 ideas that some humans associate with simple numbers. two white american neo-nazi racists (新納粹種族主義者) had planned to kill 88 african americans, before finally assassinating (暗殺) obama. the number 88 is equated with hh, initials (首字母) for the nazi greeting, heil hitler. h is the eighth letter of the

32、alphabet .many people were not familiar with the neo-nazi importance of 88, but associations attached to other numbers are more well-known, if not always believed. the number 13, for instance, is considered deeply unlucky. in the us, many buildings do not have a floor numbered 13. they instead label

33、 it 12a, or use the letter m, which is the 13th letter in the english alphabet. new yorks john f. kennedy international airport does not have a gate number 13. and the popular irish flight carrier, ryan air, has banished (摒棄) row 13 from all its planes. last year when brussels airline put 13 dots in

34、 their new logo, the flood of complaints was so vast the airline was forced to change their “unlucky logo” and add an additional dot. the fear comes from a bible story, which states that judas iscariot, the disciple (門徒) who betrayed (出賣) jesus, was the 13th to sit at the table in the last supper. b

35、ut the most fascinating fear of the number relates to friday the 13th. its a day of double bad luck. in the us, many people would not schedule a wedding for friday the 13th. according to the stress management center and phobia institute in the us, an estimated 17 to 21 million americans are affected

39、 wrote the bible b. judas was the 13th disciple of jesus c. judas read a bible story in the last supper d. judas betrayed jesusb when something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say, “well, its so-and-sos fault.” or “i know im late，but its not my fault；the car broke down.” it is probably not y

40、our 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

41、 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

42、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 the

43、 person. you should accept that 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 ab

44、outcreatively 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 develo
