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 situation 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 stones for success.
According to the passage, winners _____.A. deal with problems rather than blame others B. meet with fewer difficulties in their byes C. have responsible and able colleagues D. blame themselves rather than others

When I was about five years old, I used to watch a bird in the skies of southern Alberta from the Blackfoot Blood Reserve in northern Montana where I was born.I loved this bird; I would 1 him for hours. He would 2 effortlessly in that gigantic sky, or he would come down and light on the 3 and float there beautifully. Sometimes when I watched him, he would not make a sound and liked to move 4 into the grasses. We called him meksikatsi, which in the Blackfoot language 5 "pink-colored feet"; meksikatsi and I became very good friends. The bird had a very particular significance to me 6 I desperately wanted to be able to fly too. I felt very much as if I was the kind of person who had been born into a world where 7 was impossible. And most of the things that I 8 about would not be possible for me but would be possible only for other people. When I was ten years old, something unexpected 9 my life suddenly. I found myself become an 10 child in a family I was not born into; I found myself in a 11 position that many native Americans find themselves in, living in a city that they do not understand at all, not in another culture but 12 two cultures. A teacher of the English language told me that meksikatsi was not called meksikatsi, even though that is what 13 people have called that bird for thousands of years. Meksikatsi, he said, was really "duck". I was very 14 with English. I could not understand it. First of all, the bird did not look like"duck", and when it made a 15 , it did not sound like "duck", I was even more 16 when I found out that the meaning of the verb "to duck" came from the bird.

Last year, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, DC.I heard a voice say, "Can you help me？" When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. Immediately, I pulled out all of my change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. But the blind woman smiled and said, "I don't want your money. I just need help finding the post office." In an instant, I realized what I had done.I acted with prejudice―I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself. The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant.I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15.I started my new life with two suitcases,my brother and sister. Through the years, I have been a doorkeeper, cashier and pizza delivery driver among many other humble （卑微的) jobs,and eventually I became a network engineer. In my own life, I have experienced prejudice. I remember a time―at the age of 17―when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am, where I have been,and to lose sight of where I want to be going.That blind woman on the streets cured me of my blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility （谦虚). By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.

According to the text, the writer ______.A. still lives a poor life B. was busy with his work C. was born in Honduras D. was a native of Washington D.C.
