AWhen someone gives you advice, listen without judgment, try to find value in what you're hearing, and say：“Thank you. ”This wise adv ice 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, 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 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, Lydia 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 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 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 Lydia 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.”21.

It can be inferred from the passage that people______.A .tend to be defensive when given adviceB .intend to follow others' suggestionsC. had better study behavioral scienceD. should give their opinions patiently23 .The purpose of the passage is to advise people to _______A.do a cost-benefit analysis in daily lifeB .treasure others' suggestionsC. learn from the author's experiencesD. discover potential benefitsBJames Harrison is called "The Man With the Golden Arm". The Australian man has saved the lives of more than 24 million babies by donating blood nearly every week for 60 years.At the age of 14, Harrison had an I l-hour operation to remove a lung. "l received 13 units of blood and my life was saved by unknown people, "Harrison said. "When I'm old enough, I'll become a blood donor.That is exactly what Harrison did. Soon afterward, the doctor told him that his blood contains the rare antibody that can help mothers who have rhesus-disease, a condition where a pregnant woman's blood attacks the blood cells of her fetus(胎儿). In the worst case, it can result in brain damage or death of the baby. And until about 1967, thousands of babies died each year in Australia.Before long, researchers had developed an injection(注射剂) called Anti-D, using Harrison's donated blood. Because about 17 percent of pregnant women in Australia require the Anti-D injections, the blood service estimates Harrison has helped about 2.4 million babies in the country. At the age of 81, he had already passed the age limit allowed for donors, and the blood service had suggested Harrison should stop donating to ensure his health.Harrison was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in recognition of his extraordinary efforts and generosity, but he doesn't consider himself a hero. He has donated his blood 1, 173 times, which breaks the Guinness World Records. But in all those times of donating blood, he has never once watched. "I look at the ceiling or the nurses and maybe talk with them. I feel faint at the sight of blood, and I can't stand the pain. ”24.What contribu ted to Harrison’s becoming a blood donor?A. The rare antibody in his blood.B. His gratitude to the blood donors.C. The request from the blood service.D. His pain during the removal of his lug.25. What’s Anti-D used to do？A.Save babies by giving them injections.B. Protect babies from common illnesses.C. Cure pregnant mothers of rhesus disease.D Prevent women's blood from being attacked.26.For what does Harrison break the Guinness World Records?A. The age among blood donors.B. The amount of blood he donated.C. The number of donations he madeD .The number of babies he saved by donating.27.What does the author think of Harrison?A.He is kind and curious.B.He is generous and modest.C. He is selfless and shy.D. He is sympathetic and cautious.CAccording to new health guidelines, even a minute or two of physical exercise is better than nothing: just walking upstairs and down again, before continuing your sofa-based afternoon of crisps and television, makes for healthier life than if you hadn't bothered The previous recommendation was for a 10-minute minimum, but for years, the general direction of research has been toward the conclusion that there is no minimum at all. This doesn't just go for exercise, either. Five minutes in nature can boost your mental health; and while one daily serving of vegetables may be too few, it's definitely preferable to zero. If you are wondering whether or not some tiny but healthful activity is worth it, the answer, almost always, is yes.It's a little strange, actually, that this is even a topic of debate. Of course anything is better than nothing. For one thing, it's a good start for building habits. For another, tiny actions are valuable in themselves. Human bodies aren't digital devices, and health generally isn't a matter of reaching fixed thresholds(门槛); what is good for the organism in large quantities is usually good in smaller ones, tooThe real reason for the debate is not that the facts are in dispute(争议). It's that information is dangerous. When public bodies recommend, say, a 10-minute minimum, it's because they worry that if they don' t, people who might otherwise have exercised for 10 minutes will stop after two.Even this column risks making things worse. If you had truly been planning to spend all day on the sofa, gym for an hour, reading these words might persuade you to settle for the stroll(散步)instead.Ideally, we would stop thinking about healthy behaviors in terms of minimums: within reason, you should be doing as much exercise as you can not as little as you can get away with-while remembering that nothing is too minor to be not worth the bother. This is a sensible approach to much of life, I would say, from being a good friend or paying attention to your kids, to saving money or reducing your environmental impact. However much you do, it will never be enough. But that is not a reason to do nothing--on the contrary, it's a reason to something。
