12、icult for rural Cambodians to access soap.First is affordability.If you earn only$1.50 every day，you wont spend $1 on a bar of soap.Then comes access.The demand is so low that local shops dont stock soap.The last reason，because many Cambodians dont really understand where diseases come from，they don

20、 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 b

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 use
22、ful 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 perso
23、n, or dont rely on this 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 matt
24、er what happens. Winners dont 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.” Once you are co
25、nfident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.1、According to the passage，winners _.Adeal with problems rather than blame othersBmeet with fewer difficulties in their livesChave responsible and able colleaguesDblame themselves rather than others2、The unde

28、chievement.23（8分）One evening at a busy crossroads, I noticed a sister struggling to keep her little kid under control while she talked on the pay phone. She wanted him to stay still next to her, but he wanted to run and play by the road, close to rushing buses and taxis. One could sense the womans f
29、rustration, that she was pulled in too many directions: She was angry at the person on the telephone and shouting at the younger that she would “snap（折断）his leg” if he moved again. As I waited for the traffic light to change, the child began to complain and struggle to free himself from the womans g
30、rasp. She dropped the phone, seized（抓住）the neck of his tiny. T-shirt and gave him a back-hand blow across the face that I know made his little head spin.The light changed, and passers-by continued on their way. But I stood there, fixed to the pavement. I knew this extremely upset woman would carry t
31、hrough on her threat of violence to the child. Before, I had wanted to get close to her and offer to watch the youngster while she dealt with the troubling situation on the phone. Now I wanted to comfort the little boy. I also wanted to speak to the sister to calm her and to caution（告诫）her, as I wis
32、h someone had cautioned me when I was passing my pain on to my daughter and causing her emotional suffering. But I was chicken. I thought, she may think Im out of line, or I may be her next target.Often Ive thought about that child and the many others abused（虐待）by adults. I wonder how they will inte
33、rnalize（使藏在心底）their pain, and if it will crush their spirits. Will this little boy grow up to be an abusive man? Will he be gloomy（阴郁的，沮丧的）and withdrawn（孤僻，内向的）? Will he find it hard to communicate with women, with other men? Or will he survive and be sensitive, caring and determined not to continue
34、 the cycle?There is too much cruelty（残忍）in the world, too much cruelty between people. I tremble at the increasing verbal（言语的）bitterness and violence among Black girls, and among young mothers trying to discipline their children. This behavior isnt class-or age-related: I hear sharp words from Black
35、 women from all walks of life who are overworked and stressed out and have grown impatient. At times I, too, become impolite to others, or, like the sister on the phone, strike out at（抨击）those closest to me.Often were tired because weve made the wrong choices. Young girls who still need mothering ar
36、e loaded with children. We sisters easily get hurt and annoyed when we dont compromise with our own sense of self. Our personal fulfillment requires knowing what is best for us, setting our boundaries（界限）and keeping them undamaged. We will always be asked to do more than we are comfortable doing. Wh
37、en we know our boundaries, we can decline comfortably. Peopleand we ourselveswill act in ways we dont like. But they, like us, are still worthy of love.Whatever irritates（激怒）us about a person should be examined. Is the person reflecting behavior in us that needs to be changed? Often, when I find peo
38、ple irritating, I find they mirror something about me that I need to correct.Whats needed in our personal relationships is a return to gentleness and tolerance（容忍）. We must allow one another our learning experiences. Just as violence results to violence, verbal violencethe hard words and sharp tones
39、 we use to release inner stressadds to the distance between us.What we people of African root must do to become, and continue to be strong begins with love, sensitivity and our ability to work together. We Black women have these spiritual resources in abundance（丰富）. Now we must encourage them to cre
40、ate a peaceful placefor ourselves, our children, our men.1、We can learn from the passage the mother of the little kid must be _.Afrustrated and hot-tempered Bcruel and talkativeCconfused and quick-minded Dconsiderate and sensitive2、By saying “She may think I am out of line”, the author meant the wom
41、an might say _.A“Youre not standing in the queue.”B“You can watch and comfort my kid.”C“Walk away. Its none of your business.”D“You are walking in the wrong direction.”3、The wrong choices the author mentions in Paragraph 5 include _.a. We sisters refuse to marry youngb. We arent satisfied with ourse
42、lvesc. We have our boundaries damagedd. We decline others requests for helpAa, b Bc, dCa, d Db, c4、According to the author, when we find a person irritating, we should _.Areturn to gentleness and toleranceBreflect on our behavior that needs correctingCavoid the hard words and sharp tonesDexamine if
43、anything is wrong with him24（8分）Maybe you want to give back to your community, but you dont know where to begin. It was something Rebecca Reeder used to hear from friends whenever they learned she volunteered around the Los Angeles area.The idea finally took shape during her 30th birthday celebratio
44、n. Reeder and her brother put together a surprise party for her guests. They rented a party bus in secret and invited everyone she knew to a mystery (神秘) event. The surprise bus ride was not only a hit but also an effective ice breaker. Many guests had never met before that night but they were all f
45、ast friends by the end of the trip.Reeder and a friend realized this might be the answer for friends seeking fun ways to do good.Then they began Do Good Bus and hosted their first community ride in 2010. Everyone assumed it would be a one-off event, but participants had such fun and felt so good abo
46、ut giving back that they demanded another. And then another. “This kind of things just snowballed from there,” says Reeder, who is now a full-time director of the growing nonprofit organization.Over the past seven years, Do Good Bus has offered once-a-month public rides in Los Angeles. Volunteers bo
47、ard the bus and ride to a mystery community service project. Reeder likes to keep the locations and causes a secret to add an element of fun and mystery, and to prevent people from arriving with too much expectation.Participants pay $ 45, with 10 percent going to the days cause and the rest going to Do Good Bus to help cover costs and run the program.Rides usually last four to five hours and include ev
