20.You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator.When you choose to be a victim,the world is a cold and difficult place."They"did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering."They"are wrong and bad,and life is terrible as long as"they"are around.Or you may blame yourself for all your problems,thus internalizing(内化)your victimization.The truth is,your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently.They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives,but they don't let this get in the way.They know they have their weaknesses,yet they don't blame themselves when they fail.Whatever happens,they have choice in the matter.They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities,yet their experience of life is worlds apart.Victims relish (沉溺)in anger,guilt,and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims,too.Creators consciously choose love,inspiration,and other qualities which inspire not only themselves,but all around them.Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.
In reality,all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives.One person,on losing a job or a special relationship,may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months,years,or even a lifetime.Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief,then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.
In every moment and every circumstance,you can choose to have fuller,richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within,and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.

分析 本文讲述了两种截然不同的人,一种是消极悲观怨天尤人的"受害者",另一种是积极主动主宰自己命运的"缔造者".在挫折面前他们表现出不同的态度,作者建议人们要转变心态从命运的"受害者"变成自己命运的主宰者.
解答 51.答案:A.推理判断题.从第一段的叙述:"‘They'did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering.‘They'are wrong and bad,and life is terrible as long as‘They'are around."可知"他们"所做的事情,使你感觉到痛苦和折磨.他们品质败坏,态度恶劣,只要有他们环绕在你身边,你的生活也会很糟糕.所以they指除了自己以外的其他人或事.故A选项正确.
52.答案:C.细节理解题.文章第二段描叙了那些积极乐观的人们"They believe their dance with each sacred moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth."由此可知他们相信他们在生命中每一个神圣时刻的舞动都是一份礼物,而暴风雨也只是自然生活的一部分,它会带来心灵和精神上成长所需的雨露.他们对待人生的坎坷起伏的态度是很明智的,C选项正确.
53.答案:B.推理判断题.从第三段Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.推断可知B选项正确.他们是自己命运的主人,主宰着自己人生的方向.本段是总分总结构,首句或是尾句即可得出答案.创造者和受害者都是生活的
决定者.
54.答案:A.推理判断题.第四段首句"In reality,all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives."即为主题句,意思是:事实上,在我们生活的许多方面我们都扮演着牺牲品或创造者的角色.此后的例子用来作为论据证明此论点,所以A选项正确.
55.答案:D.推理判断题.文章讲述了两种人对待挫折困境的不同态度,不同做法,最后提出文章中心即作者的观点"you can choose to have a fuller,richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within,and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are."建议人们不做生活的牺牲品,争做生活的创造者建议人们不做生活的牺牲品,争做生活的创造者 所以D选项正确.
