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

Mandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.
And on Tuesday, August 23rd, witnesses say she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And she’s not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.
“It’s very different from their normal call,” said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. “The lemurs (monkey-like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm call if they see or hear something highly unusual.”
But you can’t see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you can — if you’re an animal. “Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing,” said Brandie Smith. “That’s part of their special abilities. They’re more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.”
Primates weren’t the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound. And a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes (a kind of bird) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped.
So what kind of vibrations were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough says earthquakes produce two types of waves — a weak “P” wave and then a much stronger “S” wave. The “P” stands for “primary”. And the “S” stands for “secondary”. She said she thinks the “P” wave might be what set the animals off.
Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith says the zoo’s giant pandas didn’t jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals seemed to know something was coming before it happened. “I’m not surprised at all,” Smith said.
1.Why did Mandara act strangely one day?
A.Because it sensed something unusual would happen.
B.Because its daughter Kibibi was injured.
C.Because it heard an orangutan let out a loud call.
D.Because an earthquake had happened.
2.According to Brandie Smith, _____.
A.many animals’ hearing is sharp
B.earthquakes produce two types of waves
C.primates usually gather together before a quake
D.humans can also develop the ability to sense a quake
3.Which word in the passage has a close meaning to the underlined word “cover”?
A.vibration B.shelter C.quake D.range
4.Which animal seems unable to sense a quake?
A.A giant panda. B.A flamingo. C.A lemur. D.A lizard.
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A.How animals survive a quake. B.How animals differ from humans.
C.How animals behave before a quake. D.How animals protect their young in a quake.
