Gambling, despite being a well known highly risky pursuit that has caused many tragedies, does not scare gamblers away; instead, many consciously join the legion of gamblers, in spite of possible failure in store for them.
How does a gambler get bogged down in such a risky occupation? Most novices do not embrace an ambition to get rich through gambling. Instead, they might think gambling is merely an exciting game through which they can try their luck and bring excitement to their dull lives. Often, they win a small sum at the first several tries, and then became bold, daring to play for larger stakes. With certain encouraging "achievements" they are now confident of their good luck and gambling skill. At this point, they are at a crossroads: a step forward to become a professional gambler, or a step backward to return to normal life.
Unfortunately, most of them get bogged down in gambling, because the greedy notion of getting something for nothing is their underlying motive. Openly, they deny that they have such a shameful motive, but in the recesses of their soul, there is an undeniable ambition to get great sums of money through gambling. However, I’ve never heard of any myth about a person who got wealth and prestige through gambling. Instead, I’ve heard many true stories about gamblers who ended their lives in misery. Once a person gets bogged down in gambling, it is rather hard for him to tear himself away from that evil. Throughout history, few gamblers have ever repented about gambling, which led them to tragedy — failure in business, destitution, family disintegration, divorce, suicide, crime, etc.
What should a person do to get rid of such a nightmare? It is very easy. To prevent getting involved in gambling, the most effective means is to stop at the first try. It is easy for any intelligent person to stop at the first try but it is also easy for a person of weak will to receive an "invitation" to have a try. The novice often finds an excuse for the first try, thinking or murmuring, "this is the only and the last try." In most cases, the novice will not stop at the first try -- he will try again, and finally he will become an addict.
A "vindictive" psychology drives these new gamblers to be entrapped in gambling houses. As they lose some money, they get angry and try to "avenge" themselves, so that they play for higher stakes and lose more, until they sell all they have to get money and go back to the gambling house. Finally, they have debts beyond their capacity to pay. To dodge their debtors, they have to hide or escape, or take risky and criminal actions, for example, killing or threatening the debtors. Many gamblers end their lives in jail. [br] From history, the psychological reason for a gambler’s failure in everything is______.
选项
A、their refusal to feel regret for gambling
B、their weak will
C、their greedy desire
D、their addictive habit
答案
A
解析
细节题。题干中有个词限定了这个问题的范围——“from history”。文章第三段最后一句话明确指出,“Throughout history, few gamblers…suicide,crime,etc.”由此可知,纵观历史,赌徒们事事都失败的心理原因是很少有人对赌博这件事感到后悔。只有选项A是符合题意的,其他项都不符合“from history”这个限定。
