24、"An Englishman，even if he is alone，forms an orderly queue of one，" wrote a famous British author，George Mikes．While this sounds funny，it's a popular English stereotype（刻板印象）．From the supermarket to the subway，queues are a common sight on the streets of Britain．

Here in China，queues are normal，too．It is a part of everyday life．People queue most of the time，from buying tickets in the cinema to waiting for seats at a restaurant．But in certain situations，you'll find yourself in the middle of a rushing crowd，such as getting onto the subway．Even away from the busy subway platform，queues are different．

One day I was standing in line at the supermarket．I left a small space in front of me．Within seconds，a girl walked by and took her place in that small space．I was surprised at first，but later I found these experiences very interesting．It is with these small，everyday differences that I get to live and learn in a new culture．

Back in Britain，the person spends about six months of their life waiting in a queue，according to the auction site MadBid．To pass the time，maybe they tell themselves the famous proverb．．Good things come to those who wait．

25、   When something goes wrong, it can be very pleasing to say. “Well, it’s so-and-so’s mistake.” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my mistake; the bus was late.” It is probably not your mistake, 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 thinking about how to improve 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 or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability. Ask to work with a different person, or leave some simple jobs to this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable.

This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using yow skills and wisdom 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 as seeing those problems as challenges and chances to develop their own ability. So, stop thinking about “whose mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

【1】According to the passage, winners ______.

A．have responsible and able workmates

B．meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

C．blame themselves rather than others

D．deal with problems rather than blame others

【2】When problems happen, winners take them as ______.

A．excuses for their mistales

B．difficulties to greater power

C．chances for self-development

D．challenges to their workmates

【3】Which of the following the best title for the passage?

A．A Winner’s Secret

B．A Winner’s Problem

C．A Winner’s Chance

D．A Winner’s Achievement

26、A thirsty crow(乌鸦) comes across(偶然遇到) a bottle of water, but the water level is out of its reach. The bird then drops some stones into it and gets the water.

“It's just a story, ” you may think. But new research has found that crows' brains may sometimes be better than those of 6­year­old children.

In a recent experiment, American scientist Corina Logan and her team caught six crows to test them. The crows and children had to choose between two sets of tubes(试管). They had to drop stones in and get water.

With the red set, when they dropped a stone into a wide tube, the water level raised in a connected narrow tube. The blue set of tubes, however, had no connection between them.

Children aged 7 to 10 were able to learn the rule. Children aged 4 to 6, however, failed. Five of the six crows failed the test. But Kitty, a 6­month­old crow, passed it. She put most of the stones into the red tubes.

So, could a bird be more clever than a kindergartner? Don't be too quick to say no.
