About two thirds of the list are self—made billionaires and just over 10 percent are women, led by television star Oprah Winfrey whose fortune rose 200 million dollars to 2.7 billion dollars.

Londoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books --- especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper and bound（装订）between hard covers.

There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy, politics or any other of the countless subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet!

Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand books, the collector must venture off the beaten track, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers come along each morning and pour out their sacks of books onto small hand carts. And the collectors, some professionals and some amateurs, have been waiting for them. In places like this they can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old one that may be worth many pounds.

43. “Londoners are great readers” means that __________.

A. Londoners are great because they read a lot

B. There are a great number of readers in London

C. Londoners are readers who read only great books

D. Londoners read a lot

44. According to this passage, Charring Cross Road __________.

A. is in the suburbs of London

B. is famous for its bookshops

C. contains various kinds of shops

D. is the busiest street in London

45. In this passage, what does the underlined part “venture off the beaten track” mean? __________.

A. buy books in a most busy street

B. move away from a busy street

C. waste time looking for books

D. take a risk of losing one’s life

46. On Farringdon Road, _________.

A. you can find fine bookshops for the latest books

B. there are only small bookshops for the second-hand books

C. you can see book sellers selling books on hand-carts

D. the same books as the ones in the bookshops of Charring Cross Road are sold

D

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. 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 blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. Thi s 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 (同事) 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 per son, or don’t 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 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.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

47. According to the passage, winners ________ .

A. deal with problems rather than blame others

B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

C. have responsible and able colleagues

D. blame themselves rather than others

48. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________ .

A.avoid

B.accept

C.improve

D.consider

49. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should ________ .

A. find a better way to handle the problem

B. blame him for his lack of responsibility

C. tell him to find the cause of the problem

D. ask a more able colleague for help

50. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. A Winner’s Opportunity.

B. A Winner’s Secret.

C. A Winner’s Problem.

D. A Winner’s Achievement.
