    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, Lyda,
    was sitting next to me in the front seat. I was racing along and not paying much attention. Lyda 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
    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 cost-benefit 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 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
    Lyda 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."

  • 人生感悟类阅读

人生感悟类阅读的概念

生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪,使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文,如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事,有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。


生活感悟类阅读解题指导:

一、文章特点:

生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪,使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文,如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事,有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”,点出全文的中心思想,就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂,耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似,一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句(论点),其它句子围绕主题展开论述(论据),论证方法多种多样,或举例,或引用名言,或正反对照等。

二、解题技巧:

针对生活感悟类文章的特点,做这类文章的完形填空时,要特别注意以下几点:
1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文,找出when,where,who,what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔,充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。
2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句,有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。
3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域,而是谈一些小事和简单的道理,所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣,读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度,从而提高做题的准确度。因此,考生在平时要做一个有心人,即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事,思考人生的一些基本道理,多阅读一些短小精悍的美文,多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心,做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
