3．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．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 l ack 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 person，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 ab out-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 situation 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．

A．deal with problems rather than blame others

4．Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain a healthy lifestyle．Group exercise is challenging，yet fun and empowering!Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body．However，studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups，it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health．It's an opportunity to be social，release endorphins（內(nèi)啡肽），and improve your strength．Additionally，group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard．The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone．
Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor．Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves．If you feel you can relate，then group training is an even better option for you．It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision （監(jiān)管） of a fitness instructor．If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored，you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track．Don't letfitness frighten you!
If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle，it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support．I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health．Surround yourself with people who uplift，encourage and understand you!Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class，with a friend．Plan to go for a jog together．Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar!Fitness can be both fun and social!
Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals．First，decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive．Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive．Don't let negativity ruin your motivation．

72．The first paragraph focuses onC．
A．the greatest challenge of group exercise
B．the most effective way to improve physical fitness
C．the contribution of group exercise to psychological health
D．the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups
73．The underlined word"upbeat"in the second paragraph probably means"A"．
A．cheerful
B．a(chǎn)verage
C．serious
D．temporary
74．When it comes to emotional support，the author thinks it necessaryD．
A．to sustain a colorful lifestyle
B．to party on weekends with positive people
C．to try a fun healthy restaurant regularly
D．to surround yourself with supportive people
75．What would be the best title for the passage？B．
A．Seeking Support
