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 (內(nèi)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 don39。t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don39。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 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.（1）What does the word they in Paragraph 1 probably refer to? and things around you. and problems. and their choices. and their sufferings.（2）According to Paragraph 2, creators ________. ups and downs of life wisely the ability to predict future life willing to experience failures in life potential to create something new（3）What can we learn from Paragraph 3? and victims are masters of their lives. can influence more people than creators. with victims, creators are more emotional. and victims face quite different things in life.（4）The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that _________. attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims need family support to deal with challenger in life takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their
