18、ath. And after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour (绕道). 37 one point, the ant had to cross a crack about 10mm wide. After some 38 thoughts, the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked 39 it and picked the feather up on the other side, then continued on its way. I was 40 by the

19、cleverness of this ant. It was only a small insect, lacking in 41 yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome. 42 this ant, like the other two-legged creatures 43 on the earth, also shares human failings.After some time the ant 44 reached its destination - a flower bed and a

20、small hole that was the entrance to its 45 home. It was there that the ant met its 46 . How could that large feather possibly 47 such a small hole? Of course, it couldnt. So the ant, after all this 48 and using great brightness, overcoming problems a1l along the way, just gave up the 49 and went hom

21、e. The ant had not thought the problem through 50 it began its journey and in the end the feather was 51 more than a burden.

This w

26、ise advice is easy to understand yet hard to practice. Ill 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 sea

27、t. 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! Dont you think I

28、 can see?” When we arrived at the airport, Lynda didnt 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 potenti

29、al benefit? What could have been saved?” Several potential benefits came to mind, including her life, my life, and the lives of other people. 20090507I 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 hel

30、p 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!”Im a long way from perfect, but Im getting

31、 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

32、 just say, “Thank you.” 56. 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 wifes advice.D. He often runs the red traffic light.57. The underlined part “blew it” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.A. lost personal j

53、 (and some not-so-youngsters) who spend perhaps a bit too much time with game controllers in hand.But the 40-year-old Langteau isnt a parent. Hes a veteran(老手) of the video game industry - one who played producer on three “Medal of Honor” games and co-founded his own game development company.Langtea

54、u has just published a childrens book called “Sofa Boy”, which tells the story of a kid who spends too much time sitting on the couch with controller held in hand and the rather terrible consequences that follow.Its a fairy tale picked straight from Langteaus own experiences as a kid with a fondness

55、 for video games and his own bouts with a bit of game addiction. But first, Langteau would like to make one thing clear: “Im not saying that you shouldnt play video games. I think video games are great.
