My wife and I were on our honeymoon in our homeland, visiting my parents-in-law. My wife Helen was making a film and my job was to make up the music, but I didn’t bring my guitar with me. I locked myself in the barn toilet, and carved a guitar neck from a scrap(废弃的) piece of wood. In the barn, I found a drum, which used to be part of an old tape-recorder, It’s like a guitar, but it has four strings. So is it a balalaika or a guitar? They have something in common (共性), we call it a balalaika but it’s played differently. Our daughter Kitty had just started school, so she needed a place to do her homework. There isn’t much room except a table in the kitchen. When my wife cooks, she needs to use the table. One day I walked past a rubbish bin and saw a folding (可折叠的) table lying there. I thought I could make something out of it. It was just the right size a bigger one wouldn’t have fitted into the room. I fixed a slab of board for the desk and made the back of the seat softer, then I oiled the screws so it is easier to fold.
Our dad’s friend made the Little House for his daughter. It was made of wood and bricks which were thrown away. And when she grew up, he offered it to us. So how long has it been standing here? I’m forty years old now, so it must be at least fifty. The man’s name was Bob. He’s not alive any more but I still remember the nice time in the Little House. When my children were growing up, they used to say “We’re going to play in the Little House!”or “Where are you? I’m in the Little House!” It’s a go-kart for my son Tom to ride down the hill. He wanted to make one so I helped him. I had bought him one, but he wasn’t satisfied with that. I just made it from pieces lying around. The wheels were from two different scrapped carts. My father-in-law had them in his barn. He doesn’t throw anything away. I only used cart parts, some wood, a cushioned seat, and a rope. It cost nothing. My son likes it so much. I feel so happy.

When something goes wrong, it can be very satislying to say "Well, it's so - and - so's mistake"or" know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the bus was late". 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 start paying attention to how to remedy(纠正) the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at solving problems. For example, if you were late because the bus was late, maybe you need to leave home early. Or you might call a taxi or call friends for help when in need. For another example, if your workmate causes you problems on the job for short of responsibility(责任心)or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability. Ask to work with a different person, or leave this person with some simple jobs. You should accept that the person is not reliable(可靠的)
This is what being a winner is all about - creatively using your skills and wisdom so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their daily lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and chances to develop their own talents. So stop paying attention to "whose mistake it is". Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
( )4. According to the passage, winners _________ .
A. have responsible and able workmates
B. meet with fewer difficulties in their daily lives
C. blame themselves rather than others
D. deal with problems rather than blame others
( )5. When problems happen, winners take them as _________ .
A. excuses for their mistakes
B. difficulties to greater power
C. chances for self - development
D. challenges to their workmates
( )6. What's the best title of the passage?
A. A winner's secret. B. A winner's problem.
C. A winner's chance. D. A winner's achievement.

People have told stories about Robin Hood for over 700 years. Nobody knows if he was a real person or an invented character. In the legends, Robin was extremely smart and humorous. He loved laughing and playing tricks on others. Robin had a good heart. In several adventures, he helped strangers, and later his kindness paid off.
The Merry Aduentures of Robin Hood appeared in 1883. It was Howard Pyles first book and it was a great success.

Robin became a legendary outlaw, and soon the leader of one hundred outlaws, known as his "Merry Men".
Robin and his "Merry Men" always looked for rich people and asked them to their camp in Sherwood Forest. When they arrived, Robin gave them a good meal and played music for them. Then he took their gold away to help the poor. Robin became the most famous for "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor".
The Sheriff of Nottingham was Robin's greatest enemy. He was cruel and treated the poor badly. It was his job to keep the woods sale and to make sure that nobody stole the king's deer. He hated Rohin because Robin was an outlaw. But most of all, he hated Robin because everyone else loved him. The Sheriff of Nottingham kept trying to catch Robin Hood and his "Merry Men", but never succeeded.
Centuries ago, people loved to tell stories of Robin Hood. Later he became a famous character in books, and nowadays Robin is still a well-loved hero in literature, theatre, TV plays and films.

Humans have been trying to cure(治愈) cancer for many years. But what if our bodies themselves hold the secret to treating cancer? The winners of the famous Nobel Prize in Medicine may have found this secret.
From October 1 to October 8, the 2018 Nobel Prize winners were announced, including prizes for Medicine, Chemistry, Physics, Peace and Economics(经济学).
One of the most amazing Nobel - winning achievements in 2018 was in medicine. James Allison from the United States and Tasuku Honjo from Japan shared the prize.
They have found our body has a special protein (蛋白质). It stops our body from fighting against cancer cells. By injuring this protein, they can allow the body's immune(免疫的) system to fight against cancer cells more efficiently(效率高地).
But cancer is not the only problem that people face. There is also the danger of global warming. The winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics focused on this in their work.
The economics prize was shared by two scientists. They found that creating a global carbon tax(碳排放税) is the most efficient(有效的) way to fight climate change. This would force countries to limit their carbon emission(排放) or else face heavy taxation.
The Nobel Prize in Physics was given to three scientists who made new discoveries in laser physies. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was also shared by three scientists for their research on enzymes and antibodies. The Nobel Peace Prize went to a doctor and an activist who have been working to prevent sexual violence(性暴力).

What might life be like if you looked very different from others?
Most people are lucky to be born with "normal (正常的)" faces. But the movie Wonder (《奇迹男孩) shows people that there is no such thing as being normal and that beauty is more than skindeep(肤浅).
Based on a bestselling novel, the movie is about a boy named Auggie. He has a facial deformity(畸形). He has spent most of his life being home - schooled. But as he enters middle school. his parents decide to send him to a private school. There, Auggie must deal with his judgemental(动辄评头论足的) classmates and learn to accept himself as he is.
In the United States, most kids are told that it is OK to be different. People don't look down upon being unique. But some kids have difficulty accepting uniqueness. It is easy to play a trick on someone who is different, especially if you have your own problems to deal with.
As Auggie's classmates get to know him better, they come to find that he's a nice kid with a great sense of humour. They start to love and accept him. In real life, it may take longer to see such changes happen. But if you give people a chance, their hearts and minds may change in the end.
