问答题The word winner and loser have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who makes someone else lose. To us, a winner is one who responds authentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of a society.Winners do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be; rather, they are themselves and as such do not use their energy putting on a performance, maintaining pretence, and manipulating others. They are aware that there is a difference between being loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid, between being knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable. Winners do not need to hide behind a mask.Winners are not afraid to do their own thinking and to use their own knowledge. They can separate facts from opinions and don’t pretend to have all the answers. They listen to others, evaluate what they say, but come to their own conclusions. Although winners can admire and respect other people, they are not totally defined, demolished, bound, or awed by them.Winners do not play helpless , nor do they play the blaming game. Instead, they assume responsibility for their own lives.

问答题当学生很容易置身于世外。一个大学生的想法与观念常常都是与他的专业有关的。有时候会忘记不上大学的人也是人，而且有跟我们一样的问题和烦恼。为了使自己的思想不至于这样，每个星期五我和朋友们一起到一些老人的家去帮助他们油漆门窗或贴糊墙纸。在利兹(Leeds)住的老人有的非常可怜。如钱不多的话，房子又小又脏，又不能买好吃的东西吃，好看的衣服穿，结果一点自尊心也没有了。这真是一幅悲惨的景象。即使钱够的话，还有许多别的问题，最大的问题是寂寞。我们看到的人大部分是独身住的。老伴大概已经不在了，孩子要么搬到很远的地方去了，要么懒得去看望年老的父母。(翻译黑体部分)
