We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it

23、fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $ 100,000 a yea

24、r. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggled financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase，“They are one skill away from great wealth.”There is an old saying that goes, “Job means just over broke (破产).” And unfort

25、unately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, and most workers “live within their means”. They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than wh

26、at they will earn.When I ask the class I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonalds?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonalds makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonalds is exce

27、llent at business systems. The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on making a better hamburger but know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at making a better hamburger rather than

28、the skills of selling and delivering the Hamburger.51. The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that .A.he is just one of the talented peopleB.he is ready to help othersC.he has a sharp sense of hearingD.he knows little about car repairing52.

31、ob B. what schools should teach students C. why so many talented people are poor D. how McDonalds makes much moneyB Talking plants might sound like characters in a fairy tale. But recent scientific studies have shown that plants communicate with each other and with other living things in a surprisin

32、g number of ways. To understand them, scientists say, we just have to learn their language. Farmers are especially interested in what plants have to say.“Plants are able to communicate with all sorts of organisms (有机体). They can communicate with giant bacteria, with other plants and with insects. Th

33、ey do this chemically,” said Cahill, an Ecology Professor of the University of Alberta in Canada.Plant scientists are just beginning to understand this chemical “language”. Cahill says studies have shown，for example, that plants can evaluate conditions in their immediate environment and take appropr

34、iate actions. Plants have an ability, for example, to signal pain or discomfort caused by anything from temperature extremes to an insect attack. Jack Schultz, a professor of chemical ecology at the University of Missouri, says when a plant senses that its being eaten, it cannot walk away from troub

35、le; on the contrary, it will release a chemical vapor that alerts other plants nearby.“Their language is a chemical language, and it involves chemicals that move through the air that are easy to be changeable, and most of all are smells that we are familiar with,” Schultz explained. “All plants resp

36、onded to the attack by changing their chemistry to defend themselves,” Schultz recalled. “But we were quite surprised to find that nearby plants also changed their chemistry to defend themselves, even though they were not part of the experiment.” Studies have also shown that plants under attack rele

37、ase pleasant chemicals. Those chemicals attract friendly insects that attack the pests eating the plant, In the end, plants ability to communicate their needs and our ability to understand them could help farmers reduce the use of poisonous chemicals，cut operating costs and limit damage to the envir
