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, Lyda didn't 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 when Lyda 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 Lyda and 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 Lyda cried out：“ Look out for the red right！” 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. ” 16. What do we know about the author?
A. He is an expert at behavioral science.
B. He is gifted in costbenefit analysis.
C. He seldom takes his wife's advice.
D. He often runs the red traffic light.
答案与解析：A 从第三段第一句可知作者为一个受过训练的专业人员，故选A项。在第四段第一句可知他做一个成本效益分析而没有说精通，有天赋。
17. The underlined part “blew it” in Paragraph 1 probably
means “________”．
A. became annoyed with the adviser
B. forgot the practical method
C. failed to say “Thank you”
D. lost personal judgment
答案与解析：C 根据第一段可知：当别人给你建议时，不予评论而是听从，试图从你所听到的找到有价值的内容，并说“谢谢”，这个明智的建议听着容易做着难，下面我就讲一个日常生活中实践我们教授的东西时所没能做到的。从第三段中可知，我没有向妻子说谢谢，倒数第二段提到我开始说谢谢。 18. It can be inferred from the passage that people ________.
A. tend to be defensive when given advice
B. intend to follow others' suggestions
C. had better study behavioral science
D. should give their opinions patiently
答案与解析：A 此题可用排除法。从第三段可知妻子给建议时，丈夫朝她喊，很不礼貌地为自己辩护，故选A项。从文章可看出作者建议应该在别人给予建议时说谢谢。没有提到听从建议的问题，排除B项；也没有提耐心的给出观点，排除D项。文章第三段只提到作者是一个行为科学专家而没让别人都学，排除C项。 19. The purpose of the passage is to advise people to ________.
A. do a costbenefit analysis in daily life
B. treasure others' suggestions
C. learn from the author's experiences
D. discover potential benefits 答案与解析：B 文章最后一段可知通过自己的不断练习做得越来越好，当别人给建议时，这里隐藏着潜在的好处，所以应该珍视。 B
Just as the stock market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind, we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to our beliefs about what is possible. Sometimes the degree to which we are willing to challenge our belief systems determines the success of our inner economy.
For example, imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they possessed. As a member of that group, you would likely inherit that same belief about yourself.As a result, even if you had a great desire to create music, you might be hesitant to really get behind yourself, fearing that your investment (投资)would not pay off. Even if you had the courage to follow your passion, your inner belief that you are not inherently talented would probably be a major obstacle(障碍) to investing your energy in your dream.
On the other hand, if you found a way to release that negative belief, a great flood of energy would pour forth, gently increasing the likelihood of your success. How much energy we are willing to invest in the various ideas, dreams, and visions we carry within is like the money people are, or are not, willing to invest in the various products available for trade on the stock market. And in both eases ，belief plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something.
One way to open up the possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable guide we sometimes think. There are other more reliable things of success that we can put our faith in, such as passion, feeling and sense. Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that go against the grain trusting their sense over the common opinion held by common people about what will work.
In the same way, we can learn to trust our heart's desires and our sense to guide us, questioning any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves. As we take out energy from limiting ideas about what is possible, we free up the resources that have the power to make our inner economy prosper.
20. We can safely conclude from the first paragraph that ________.
A. our belief is not reliable
B. belief is an obstacle to our success
C. belief is not so important in our success
D. our belief determines our success in some way

1. The spaceship, called Shenzhou V, was carrying China's first astronaut, Yang Liwei.这艘命名为“神州5号”的宇宙飞船载着中国第一位宇航员杨利伟飞向太空。 called Shenzhou V为过去分词短语，在句中作定语，修饰the spaceship。可以将其理解为一个定语从句的简化：(which is)called Shenzhou V。
[解题警示] ①当被修饰的名词与分词为被动关系且表完成时，用过去分词。 The broken glass is Tom's. 这个被打坏的杯子是汤姆的。 ②作定语的不及物动词分词形式为v.ing和过去分词。v.ing形式表示正在进行；过去分词表示已经完成。 falling leaves正落的叶子 fallen leaves落下的叶子 boiling water正沸腾的水 boiled water沸腾过的水 ③过去分词有时没有一定的时间性，只表示被动。 He is a man loved and respected by all. 他是一个被所有人喜爱和尊敬的人。 ④当被修饰的名词与分词为被动关系且表正在进行时，用being＋过去分词。 The houses being built are for the teachers. 正被建的房子是专为老师提供的。 ⑤不定式的被动式作定语时，表示一个未来的动作。 The question to be discussed at tomorrow's meeting is a very important one. 明天会议上将被讨论的问题是一个重要问题。 [考试题] ①(青岛质检)Carbon dioxide ________ from burning fuels is the most common of the socalled greenhouse gases. A. producing
B. having been produced C. to be produced

答案与解析：D 考查非谓语动词的用法。主语carbon dioxide与谓语produce是被动关系，所以排除A项；having been produced通常作状语不用作后置定语，排除B项；本句考查过去分词produced作后置定语，相当于which/that is produced。
