9、, its 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, y

10、ou 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 yo

11、ur 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 o

12、r 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 a

13、ll 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 d

14、evelop 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 stone for success.21. According to the passage, winners .A. blame themselves rather that others B. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC.

15、 have responsible and able colleagues D. deal with problems rather than blame others22.

17、 the facts that too many people on earth and a too rapid increase in the number added each year are not in argument, we always begin the discussion of population as global issue with what most persons mean like this. It was quite right to compare demographic growth to a long, thin powder fuse（导火线）th

18、at bums steadily and hesitatingly until it finally reaches the charge and explodes.To understand the current situation, which is characterized by rapid increases in population, it is necessary to understand the history of population trends. Rapid growth is a comparatively recent phenomenon. Looking

19、back at the 8,000 years of demographic history, we find that populations have been virtually stable or growing very slightly for most of human history. For most of our ancestors, life was hard, often nasty, and very short. There was high fertility（生育）in most places, but this was usually balanced by

20、high mortality. For most of human history, it was seldom the case that one in ten persons would live past forty, while infancy and childhood were especially risky periods. Often, societies were in clear danger of extinction because death rates could exceed their birthrates. Thus, the population prob

21、lem throughout most of history was how to prevent extinction of the human race.This pattern is important to notice. Not only does it put the current problems of demographic growth into ahistorical perspective, but it suggests that the cause of rapid increase in population in recent years is not a su

22、ddenenthusiasm for more children, but an improvement in the conditions that traditionally have caused high mortality.Demographic history can be divided into two major periods: a time of long, slow growth which extended from about 8000 B.C. till approximately1650 A.D. In the first period of some 9,60

23、0 years, the population increased from some 8 million to 500 million in 1650. Between 1650 and 1975, the population has increased from 500 million to more than 4 billion. And the population reached 6.2 billion throughout the world by the year 2000, One way to appreciate this dramatic difference in s

24、uch abstract numbers is to reduce the time frame to something that is more manageable. Between 8000 B.C. and 1650, an average of only 50,000 persons was being added annually to the worlds population, At present, this number is added every six hours. The increase is about 800000,000 persons annually.

25、25. The underlined word demographic in Paragraph l meansA. extinction of human B. statistics of human populationC. death rate of human D. development of human population26. Which of the following demographic growth patterns is most similar to the long thin powder fuse?A. A slow growth for a long tim

26、e and then a period of rapid, dramatic increase.B. Too many people on earth and a few rapid increases in the number added each year.C. A virtually stable or slightly decreasing period and then a sudden explosion of population.D. A long period when death rates exceed birthrates and then a short perio

27、d with higher fertility and lowermortality.27. During the first period of demographic history, societies were often in danger of extinction becauseA. only one in ten persons could live past 40.B. our ancestors had little enthusiasm for more childrenC. there was higher mortality than fertility in mos

28、t placesD. it was too dangerous to have babies due to the poor conditionsCJust three daysafter hitting the screen across China, the Chinese animation（动画）film “Monkey King: Hero is Back” aroused enthusiasm among audience and ticket sales have exceeded（超过）100 million yuan （$16.11 million）.Web celebrit

We grew up listening to his tales, his great adventures and heroic deeds. What makes a true hero is not just helping people when one has the power, but having the courage to stand up against t
