3．Conventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation（创新）that threatens the survival of companies everywhere．It's based on the assumption that old ideas will always work，so they shouldn't be challenged．While this may be a valid assumption in situations that don't change，it's unlikely to hold true in a changing situation．In today's rapid changing global environment，old methods often don't work，and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems．
Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security．If everyone else believes it，then it must be true．Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are right，and being right is good．They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work．In 1977，Ken Olsen，co-founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation（DEC），stated"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home．"Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry，DEC no longer exists．
People seem to forget that since innovation is a change，there can be no innovation without change．Unfortunately，conventional wisdom prevents leaders，followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating．If companies don't innovate，but their competitors do，the future is likely to be problematic．Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries，so it has a powerful effect on business success．
Ted Turner（founder of CNN） knew little，if anything，about the news business，but he knew it was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour，as was common before CNN．Turner's solution was to create a cable channel devoted to news 24hours a day．The news establishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time，and predicted his idea would fail because no one wanted to watch the news all day．However，it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that viewers don't have to watch the news all day for the CNN to work．Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information．Due to conventional thinking，the critics failed to recognize the opportunity that was clear to Ted．They assumed that only what was familiar to them could work in the future．
Conventional wisdom prevents creativity，flexibility and risk-taking，so unconventional leaders enthusiastically break from it．To survive，boom and maintain competitive advantage，companies must be flexible when reacting to change．
32．DEC has disappeared probably becauseA．
A．the CEO stuck to the conventional ideas
B．the consumers didn't like its products
C．the leaders lacked the sense of security

A．missing opportunities could lead to failure
B．watching news at the dinner hour is convenient
C．changing could contribute to business success
D．conventional wisdom influences business success
34．What does the underlined part probably mean？B
A．Rocket scientists can ensure the CNN works properly．
B．It's easy to know people needn't watch the news all the time．
C．It's necessary to understand when people watch the news．
D．Most of the viewers don't like to watch the news at work．
35．The passage is mainly written to tell us thatD．
A．old methods are changing with time
B．opportunities lead to business success
C．successful companies need wise leaders
D．conventional wisdom limits innovation．

18．It was Mother's Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son，Tenyon．As we were leaving，we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance（入口）and had hit her head on the concrete（混凝土）．Her husband was with her，but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock．
Walking towards the scene，Tenyson became very upset（沮丧的） about what had happened to the couple．He said to me，"Mum，it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone．"
At the front of the supermarket，a charity（慈善） group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds（筹集善款）．Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower．"It will make her fel better，"he said．I was amazed that he'd come up with such a sweet idea．So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up（让…高兴）．"Just take it，"she replied．"I can't take your money for such a wonderful gesture．"
By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived，and were attending to the injured woman．As we walked up to her，my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment．He said he was just too scared to go up to her．
Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband and told him，"My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better．"
At that，the old man started crying and said，"Thank you so much，you have a wonderful son．Happy Mother's Day to you．"
The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower，telling her who it was from．Though badly hurt and shaken，the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile．
29．What dose the author intend to tell us？D

B．Actions speak louder than words．
C．Love begins with a little smile．

30．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？B
A．The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson．
B．Tenyson's idea of buying a flower gained his mother's support．
C．Tenyson's care for the elderly woman puzzled（迷惑） the flowerseller．
D．The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson's gesture．
31．The underlined word"intimidated"in the fourth paragraph probably means"C"．

10．Money MattersParents should help their children understand money．（36）G So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things，candy or toys，for example．
The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services．It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have．If he wants to have a toy，give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier（收银员）．（37）F When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money，you can start explaining more complex ways of using money．
Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty．（38）D If you must say no to a child's request to spend money，explain，"You have enough toy trucks for now．"Or，if the request is for many different things，say，"You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy．"
（39）A
Begin at the grocery store．Pick out two similar brands of a product---a name-brand butter and a generic （无商标产品），for example．You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money．（40）CIf he chooses the cheaper brand，allow him to make another purchase with the money saved．Later，you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases．

A．Wise decisions
B．The value of money
C．Permit the child to choose between them．
D．Tell your child why he can-or cannot---have certain things．
E．Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you
F．Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store．
G．The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest．
