you told me, I had heard nothing of what happened. A. Till B. Until C. After D. Since 题目和参考答案——青夏教育精英家教网—

When someone gives you advice, listen without judgment, try to find value in what you’re hearing, and say “Thank you”．This wise advice is easy to understand yet hard to practice．I’ll give you an example from my life when I totally blew it in terms of practicing what I teach．

In my work I travel constantly．I always put off going to the airport until the last second．My wife, Lynda, was sitting next to me in the front seat．I was racing along and not paying much attention．Lynda cried out, “Look out! There is a red light up ahead．”

Being a trained behavioral science professional --- who teaches others the value of encouraging advice --- I naturally screamed at her, “I know there is a red light up ahead! Don’t you think I can see?” When we arrived at the airport, Lynda didn’t speak to me．I wondered why she seemed mad at me．

During the flight to New York, I did a cost-benefit analysis．I asked myself, “What was the cost of just listening when Lynda called out the warning? Zero．” I then reasoned, “What was the potential benefit? What could have been saved?” Several potential benefits came to mind, including her life, my life, and the lives of other people．

I landed in New York feeling ashamed of myself．I immediately called Lynda and told her my cost-benefit story．I convinced her, “The next time you help me with my driving, I am just going to say, ‘Thank you．’”

A few months passed, and I had long forgotten the incident．Again, I was racing off to the airport, when Lynda cried out, “Look out for the red light!” I was embarrassed, and then shouted, “Thank you!”

I’m a long way from perfect, but I’m getting better．My suggestion is that you get in the habit of asking the important people in your life how you can do things better．And be ready for an answer．Some people may tell you things like “Look out for the red light．” When this happens, remember that there is possibly some potential benefit．Then just say, “Thank you．”

What do we know about the author?

A．He is expert at behavioral science． B．He is gifted in cost-benefit analysis．

C．He seldom takes his wife’s advice． D．He often runs the red traffic light．

The underlined part “blew it” in Paragraph 1 probably means “__________”．

A．lost personal judgment B．forgot the practical method

C．became annoyed with the adviser D．failed to say “Thank you”

It can be inferred from the passage that people __________．

A．should give their opinions patiently B．tend to be defensive when given advice

C．had better study behavioral science D．intend to follow others’ suggestions

The purpose of the passage is to advise people to __________．

A．do a cost-benefit analysis in daily life B．discover potential benefits

C．learn from the author’s experiences D．treasure others’ suggestions

A Love Note To My Mom

When I was a little girl, I would often accompany you as you modeled for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood what role modelling 36 in your life. Little did I know you were 37 every penny you earned to go to 38 school.

I cannot thank you enough for 39 you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I went into the dining room where you were buried 40 piles of law books. I was 41 .Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for 42 ? When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know. Moms could be lawyers too. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.”

As young as I was, that statement kept 43 in my ears. I watched as you faced the 44 of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a 45 and a Mom with five kids. I was exhausted just watching you in action. With your words of wisdom in my youthful mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world 46 . I set out to live my life filled with 47 , seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.

Your words became my motto. I constantly found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) or one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said , “Yes, I’ll try that.”

Encouraged by your 48 , I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and 49 meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m 50 it. So, get to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

I went to a birthday party and I remembered what you said. You told me not to drink at all, so I had a Sprite(雪碧) 36 . I felt proud of myself, that I didn’t choose to drink and drive 37 some friends said I should.

I knew I made a wise 38 . Your advice to me was right. As the party 39 ended and the kids drove out of sight, I got into my own 40 , sure to get home at once, never 41 what was coming — something I 42 least. Now I’m lying on the roadside, and I can hear the policeman say:“The kid that caused this accident was 43 .” His voice seems far away. My own blood (血) is all around me. I try hard not to 44 . I can hear someone say: ”This girl is going to die.”

I’m sure the guy had no idea while he was flying 45 . Because he chose to 46 and drive, now I will have to die. So why do people do it since they know that it ruins 47 ? But now the pain is cutting me 48 a hundred stabbing（刺痛的）knives. Tell my sister not to be 49 , tell Daddy to be brave, and if possibly I have to see 50 , put “Daddy’s Girl” on my grave（墓穴）.
