One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather.Several times, it 36 several obstacles in its path.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 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 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 couldn’t.So the ant, after all this 48 and using great brightness, overcoming problems a1l along the way, just gave up the 49 and went home.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.Isn’t our 52 like that?

We worry about our families; we worry about the 53 of money; and we worry about all kinds of things.These are all burdens --- the things we pick up along life’s path, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to 54 that at the destination they are 55 and we can’t take them with us.

A

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.”

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 wife’s advice. D.He often runs the red traffic light.

57.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”

58.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

59.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
