M: Hello, here. You’re late. Let’s try finding a place in the dining room.
W: Sorry,[1]but, well, a few of us were selected to stay after Professor Keene’s lecture to take a self-assessment quiz. His talk this morning was about pessimism and optimism, and he asked us to complete the survey.
M: Well, what did you learn? Is there really such a thing as bad or good luck?
W: Yes, in a sense.[2]For example, pessimists tend to unconsciously set life goals for themselves which will be extremely difficult to achieve. So, in a way, they invite failure. An optimist is usually more realistic about this.
M: Did Professor Keene mention why a pessimist might have such a dismal outlook on the world?
W: There are a couple of reasons. First, environment has a lot to do with it; experiencing repeated failure in the formative years will likely produce a pessimist. But what interested me most was the relationship a pessimist has with his or her conscience.
M: You mean that little voice inside that tells me what’s what?
W: Yep.[3]Optimists look at conscience as a source of strength and guidance, and act on its promptings. Pessimists, on the other hand, usually reject the demands of conscience and see it as an alien, even an evil threat,
M: Interesting. So, how did you do in the self-assessment survey?
W: Oh, those things never turn out right for me anyway! You just can’t trust them. It looks like rain, doesn’t it?
M: Maybe you are right.
1. Why did the woman arrive late?
2. Why does the woman say pessimists invite failure to some extent?
3. What can be inferred from the conversation?
选项
A、They usually reject others’ help.
B、They often don’t take advantage of opportunities.
C、They usually set goals which are too high to achieve.
D、They usually take negative attitudes towards everything.
答案
C
解析
细节题。本题的设题点在举例处。女士提到悲观主义者会不自觉地为自己设定极难完成的人生目标(set life goals…difficult to achieve),因此,从某种程度上来讲,是悲观主义者自己把失败引进家门的,故答案为[C]。
