题文

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people.“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy(嫉妒)my luck?”“And Paul-why didn’t he pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?”When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.”that’s being friendly. But“lucky dog”?There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for ”is another noise that says one thing and means another . It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up(包藏) in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s got a date for Saturday night? Good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture(姿态)?The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.

答案

小题1:C
小题2:C
小题3:B
小题4:D

解析

人们在生活中总会犯错误，尤其是对于别人言行的判断错误。当意识到这些错误时，已为时已晚，而且在回顾这些错误时，人们也往往会情绪低落。那么如何才能避免这些错误呢？在本文中作者对此进行了详细的分析和介绍。
小题1:C主旨大意题。文章开篇提出 “We can make mistakes at any age.，most mistakes are about people”，然后在第二段分析为什么会对朋友或者敌人出现判断错误，最后提出如何去避免这种错误的出现，由此可知在文中作者主要告诉我们如何在与人的交往中避免对人的言行做出错误的判断。
小题2:C细节理解题。根据文章第二段Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. 和第三段Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for ”is another noise that says one thing and means another可以判断人们会误会别人的原因是由于人们往往说话不直接，而是话里有话，故C选项正确。
小题3:B根据文章第二段中的There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.可以判断it指的是前句中的a bit of envy ，答案选B。
小题4:D细节理解题。作者在文章末段利用几个问句Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture(姿态)?The look in his eyes?来告诉人们如何去判断别人话里的真正含义，所以答案选D。
