6- Read the following
passage, then answer the questions : (7 Marks)
People may be
divided into two types, winners and losers. Because our families and friends have a great influence on
us as we grow, we are born hopeless and dependent on our environment. Winners
are able to change their situations and become independent by being responsible
for their own lives. They don't blame others for their mistakes, they do their
own thinking, they listen to evaluate what they say, and then they make up
their minds .
Although they
may fail at times, yet they keep self-confidence. Winners overcome their bad
experiences. They enjoy work, play, food and the world of nature. They freely
enjoy themselves but they can postpone it if duty calls.
Losers, on the other hand never learn to take
responsibility for their own lives. There are many causes why people can become
losers; disease, poor nutrition, cruelty, unhappy relationships and bad
experiences. These can interfere with the normal progress towards
becoming a winner. But whereas winners fight these situations, losers hang onto
them and use them as excuses. Losers usually feel anxious, unhappy and bored.
They are afraid to try new things and often repeat their own mistakes again and
again. Losers spend their lives waiting for something wonderful to happen to
save them from their problems with their lives but never try to change.
A) Answer the following questions:
1- What
determines the life of the winners?

the underlined word "These" refer to?
