ADaniel was born in New Orleans，LA．，in 1962，slow to walk and talk，and short．He was the tiniest in his class，but he developed a warm，outgoing nature and was popular with his peers（同龄人）．And he became skillful at sports．Baseball gave him his earliest challenge．He was an excellent players in Little League．At graduation，the coach named Daniel the team's most valuable player．His finest hour，though，came at a scho ol science meeting．He entered an exhibit explaining how the circulatory system works．It was traditional，especially compared to（与…相比）the modern，computerized，blinking-light models entered by other students．My wife，Sara，felt embarrassed for him．It turned out that the other kids had made their exhibits．As the judges went on their rounds，they found that these other kids couldn't answer their questions．Daniel answered every one．When the judges awarded the Albert Einstein Plague for the best exhibit，they gave it to him．By the time Daniel left for college he stood six feet tall and weighed 170pounds．He was in superb condition，but he quit baseball for English literature．I was sorry that he would not develop his athletic talent，but proud that he had made such a satisfactory decision． One day I told Daniel that the great failing in my life had been that I didn't take a year or two off to travel when I finished college．This is the best way，to my way of thinking，to broaden oneself．Once I had married and begun working，I found that the dream of living in another culture had disappeared．Daniel thought about this．After graduation，he worked as a waiter at college，a bike messenger and a house painter．With the money he earned，he had enough to go to Paris．The night before he was to leave，I tossed in bed．I was trying to figure out something to say．Nothing came to mind．Maybe，I thought，it wasn't necessary to say anything．1.How can we describe little Daniel？ ______A.

Newspaper．CMy First Marathon（马拉松） A month before my first marathon， one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks， leaving me only two weeks to train． Yet， I was determined to go ahead．I remember back to my 7th year in school． In my first P．E． class， the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball． I didn't do either well． He later informed me that I was" not athletic"．The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years． When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself， not about competition or whether or not I was athletic． It was all about the battle against my own body and mind． A test of wills!The night before my marathon， I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line． I woke up sweating and nervous， but ready to prove something to myself．Shortly after crossing the start line， my shoe laces （鞋带）became untied． So I stopped to readjust． Not the start I wanted！At mile 3， I passed a sign：" GO FOR IT， RUNNERS!"By mile 17， I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly． Despite the pain， I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again．By mile 21， I was starving！As I approached mile 23， I could see my wife waving a sign． She is my biggest fan． She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a．m． or questioned my expenses on running．I was one of the final runners to finish． But I finished! And I got a medal． In fact，I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had．Determined to be myself， move forward， free of shame and worldly labels（世俗标签），I can now call myself a "marathon winner"．9.

One is never too old to learn．DWhen 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 frequently. Or, you might bring along with you the useful phone numbers, so you co uld call for help when in need. For another example, if your co-worker 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 co-worker 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 arejust better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fau lt it is.”Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping on for success.13.According to the passage, winners _____________.A. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesB. deal with problems rather than blame othersC. have responsible and able co-workersD. blame themselves rather than others14.When your colleague brings about a problem, you should __________.A. find a better way to deal with the problemB. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able co-worker for help15.When problems occur, winners take them as __________.A. excuses for their failuresB. barriers (障碍) to greater powerC. challenges for their co-workersD. chances for self-development16.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.
