                                     winners

  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 situ-atlon,you are a loser.You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation.How ever,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 the 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 situations 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.’’0nce you are con“dent about your power over bad situations,problems are just stepping stop on for success.

                      Nauru-an ecological disaster area

   The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place.

Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence-other countries might learn from its mistakes.

    For thousands of years,Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru,far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter,a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.

    However,because it was very remote,Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit,bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1 400t0 900.

   Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐) on the island. In fact,it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate,which is a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.

   A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground;it is a strip mine.When a company strip-mines,it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip-mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.

    In 1968,Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world.every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for phosphate.

   Unfortunately,the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible prob lem_their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their is-land was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000,Nauru was almost financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $ 433 600 000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.

What might be the author's purpose in writing the text?

A、To seek help for Nauru's problems.

B、To give a warning to other countries.

C、To show the importance of money.

D、To tell a heartbreaking story of a war

What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?

A、Rich and powerful.

B、Modern and open.

C、Peaceful and attractive.

D、Greedy and aggressive.

The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from

A、soil pollution

B、phosphate over mining

C、farming activity

D、whale hunting

Which of the following was a cause of Nauru's financial problem?

A、Its leaders misused the money.

B、It spent too much repairing the island.

C、Its phosphate mining cost much money.

D、It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.

What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?

A、The ecological damage is difficult to repair.

B、The leaders will take the experts' words seriously.

C、The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.

D、the phosphate mines were destroyed

                        News Spreading

① With the arrival of the age of "information economy", intellectu al work is becoming a more important source of wealth than manufac turing. Organizations in all walks of life are doing more to spread their information. So people of the Public Relations are hired to speak for them.A lot of our news is actually collected from press releases and reports of events intentionally staged for journalists. In the information age,journalists spend their time,not investigating,but passing on the words of a spokesperson.

② There is a joke in the novel Scoop about the newspaper's owner,Lord Copper. The editors can never disagree with him. When he’s right about something they answer "definitely",and when he's wrong they say "to some extent,Lord Copper.”It seems reasonable to sup-pose that,in the real world,the opinions of such powerful people still influence the journalists and editors who work for them.

③In countries where the news is not officially controlled,it may be provided by commercial organizations that depend on advertising. The

news has to attract viewers and maintain its audience ratings.I suspect that some stories get air-time just because there happen to be ex-citing pictures to show. In Britain,we have the tabloid newspapers which millions of people read simply for entertainment. There is progressively less room for historical background,Or statistics,which are harder to present as a sensational story.

④ There is an argument that with spreading access to the internet and cheap technology for recording sound and images we will all be able to find exactly the information we want. People around the world will be able to publish their own eye-witness accounts and compete with the widely-accepted news-gatherers on equal terms. But what it will mean also is that we'll be subjected to a still greater amount of nonsense and lies.Any web log may contain the latest information of the year,or equally,a made up story that you will never be able to check.

⑤ Maybe the time has come to do something about it,and I don't just mean changing your choice of TV channel or newspaper. In a world where everyone wants you to listen to their version,you only have two choices: switch off altogether or start looking for sources you can trust. The investigative journalist of the future is every one who wants to know the truth.
