35、取别人的意见很重要。1myself考查反身代词。根据下文“I wont follow others suggestions”可知，此处说的是依靠我自己。2a考查冠词。make a mistake表示“犯了一个错误”，stupid不是以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词a。3which/that考查定语从句。此处为定语从句，先行词为a physics competition，指物，关系词在从句中作主语。4but考查固定搭配。not only.but also.为固定搭配，表示“不但而且”其中also可省略。5better考查副词比较级。根据后面的than可以知道此处用比较级。6to work考查动词不定
36、式。forget to do表示“忘了做要做的事情”。7partners考查名词的形式。在one of后要接复数名词。8checking考查非谓语动词。suggest doing表示“建议做某事”。9had taken考查虚拟语气。根据主句would not have failed可知，此处表示与过去事实相反。10Having experienced考查非谓语动词。由句子结构可知，此处用非谓语动词形式作状语，主语I与experience之间为主谓关系，非谓语动词应该用现在分词形式，并且experience这一动作发生在谓语动词realize之前，而且空格位于句首，故用Having experienced。
