Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Passage One 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 situation，you are a loser.

However,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
