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
4、 airport until the last second. My wife, Lydia, was sitting next to me in the front seat. I was racing along and not paying much attention. Lydia cried out: “Look out! There is a red light up ahead.” Being a trained behavioral science professionalwho teaches others the value of encouraging adviceI n
5、aturally screamed at her: “I know there is a red light up ahead! Dont you think I can see？” When we arrived at the airport, Lydia didnt speak to me. I wondered why she seemed mad at me. During the flight to New York, I did a costbenefit analysis. I asked myself: “What was the cost of just listening
6、when Lydia 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 Lydia and
7、 told her my costbenefit 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 Lydia cried out: “Look out for the red light！” I was embarrassed,
8、and then shouted: “Thank you！”Im a long way from perfect, but Im 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 th

11、 from the authors experiencesDdiscover potential benefitsBAlmost everyone has heard the expression, “the calm before the storm”. It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument. British sailors coined the phrase in the late 1 600s; they not
12、ed that before certain storms the seas would seem to become static and the winds would drop.But why is it often so calm before a storm?Science has given us the answer. According to US infotainment (资讯娱乐) website HowStuffWorks, a calm period occurs because many storms, such as tornadoes and hurricane
13、s, draw in all the warm and humid air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm, like petrol in a car”. Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back dow
14、n to ground level. As the air descends, it becomes warm and dry. Warm, dry air is stable, so once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm. This same process also causes the “eye of the storm” in hurricanes and tornadoes. In these conditions, the calm occurs in the center of the s
15、torm because of the strong rotating (旋转的) winds.The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is. First, count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder. Roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. So, for example, if you count nine seconds, th
16、e storm is about 3 kilometers away. A good gauge (评估) is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.However, due to the complexity of storm system, not all storms are preceded(先于) by calm. Given the right conditions, some storms announce themselves with heavy rain
17、and chilling winds.So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area.

21、 to practice.”可知，当有人向你提供建议时，请认真倾听，尝试在你听到的内容中找到价值，然后说：“谢谢。”这种明智的建议易于理解，却难以实践。由此可以推断出，当有人给我们提供建议时，我们往往会产生抵制的心理。故选A。3答案与解析：B推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者建议人们养成向自己生活中重要的人询问如何做得更好的习惯并准备好倾听他人的回答。有人可能会告诉你诸如“注意红灯”之类的话语。发生这种情况时，请记住这可能会有一些潜在的好处。然后说：“谢谢”。由此可知，文章的目的是建议人们重视和珍惜别人的建议。故选B。B【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章就“暴风雨前的宁静”这一说法做出了科学的解
