24、Bruce and the other butterflies were flying to southern Scotland. They usually flew south in the autumn where it was warmer. Bruce flew higher than the others. He looked down at the group below him. “We all look the same,” he said, “I see nothing but white wings. What a boring group we are!”
Suddenly, it began to rain. When the rain finally stopped, Bruce shouted, “How beautiful the rainbow is!” Then he flew up to the rainbow. When he reached the rainbow, he flew through it.
“Bruce, what happened to you? You are blue!” Bonnie said when Bruce returned. Bruce looked at his own wings. “I’m blue. Maybe I have picked up some of the colors from the rainbow.”
“You mean that if I fly through the rainbow, I won’t be white?” Bonnie asked. “I guess so,” Bruce answered.
Bonnie also flew into the rainbow. When she came back, she was pink. Then all the butterflies flew in and out of the rainbow and became colorful.
Later the butterflies arrived in southern Scotland and landed in a tree. When Jackie, a small boy, and his mom were walking down the road, Jackie said, “Look, Mom. There are many different colored flowers in the tree!” “Those aren’t flowers. Those are butterflies,” his mom said. “I’ve never seen anything more beautiful in my life. But what happened to the white butterflies that usually come here each autumn? Where are they?”
“It doesn’t matter, Mom. These butterflies are prettier,” Jackie said.

25、 I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the subject, let's take a look at three kinds of "waits".
The very typical form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most boring of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池)as an example. There is completely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full. During these waits, the brain flies away from the body and has your head in the clouds until the water runs out of the sink and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires the waiter to do in a controlled way and follow the directions. Properly preparing noodle soup required a Forced Wait. Directions are very clear. "Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, cook it slowly for three minutes, stop heating, let stand five minutes." I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the directions strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.
Perhaps the most powerful kind of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This kind of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary(自愿的). Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.
Turning one's life into a waiting game requires trust and hope, and is strictly for the optimists(乐观主义者)among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous(荒谬的)as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn't come to pass on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.
We certainly do spend a lot of our time waiting. The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, be confident and patient. Good things come to those who wait, better things come to those who wait longer. You're probably just as busy as the next guy.
【1】What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?
A.The Watched-Pot Wait connects body and brain. B.The Forced Wait requires some self-control.
C.The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions. D.The Forced Wait makes people active.
【2】The writer probably agrees that _________.
A.The Lucky-Break Wait doesn't give people faith and hope.
B.Everyone really follows the directions during the Forced Wait.
C.The Lucky-Break Wait doesn't always bring the expected result.
D.The waiter doesn't need to do anything during the Watched-Pot Wait.
【3】What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To question about people's behaviors of waiting.
B.To show why people are impatient while waiting.
C.To help people know their feelings while waiting.
D.To advise us not to lose heart while we're waiting.
26、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(责怪) 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 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(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 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 ability. 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.

A.have responsible and able workmates
B.meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

A.blame him for his short of responsibility
B.find a better way to overcome the problem

【3】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
【4】Which of the following is 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
