Now custom has not been commonly regarded as a subject of any great importance. The inner workings of our own brains we feel to be uniquely worthy of investigation, but custom, we have a way of thinking, is behavior at its most commonplace. As a matter of fact, it is the other way around. Traditional custom, taken the world over, is a mass of detailed behavior more astonishing than what any one person can ever evolve in individual actions. Yet that is a rather trivial aspect of the matte. The fact of first-rate importance is the predominant role that custom plays in experience and in belief and the very great varieties it may manifest.
No man ever looks at the world with pristine(未受外界影响的) eyes. He sees it edited by a definite set of customs and institutions and ways of thinking. Even in his philosophical probings he cannot go behind these stereotypes(固定的模式); his very concepts of the true and the false will still have reference to his particular traditional customs. John Dewey has said in all seriousness that the part played by custom in shaping the behavior of the individual as over against any way in which he can affect traditional custom, is as the proportion of the total vocabulary of his mother tongue over against those words of his own baby talk that are taken up into the language of his family. When one seriously studies social orders that have had the opportunity to develop independently, the figure(这种比喻) becomes no more than an exact and matter-of- fact observation. The life history of the individual is first and foremost an adjustment to the patterns and standards traditionally handed down in his community. From the moment of his birth the customs into which he is born shape his experience and behavior. By the time he can talk, he is the little creature of his culture, and by the time he is grown and able to take part in its activities, its habits are his habits, its beliefs his beliefs, its impossibilities his impossibilities. [br] According to the passage, a person’s life, from his birth to his death,______.
选项
A、is constantly shaping the cultural traditions of his people
B、is predominated by traditional custom
C、is continually influenced by the habits of other communities
D、is chiefly influenced by the people around him
答案
B
解析
归纳题。问文章认为一个人的一生,从生到死,"U哪项陈述符合事实。A项意为“人的一生不断地塑造着他所属于的那种文化传统”,C项意为“人的一生不断地受其他社会(非他所属的那个社会)环境的习惯的影响”。这两项既不合常识,也不合文意。D项说“人的一生主要受周围的人的影响”,也不合文章原意。B项说:“人的一生受传统习俗的支配”。文章最后的两句说:“人的一生首要的是适应他所在的社会的传统的方式和标准。从他一出生起,他所生长的社会的习俗就塑造着他的经历和行为。……”B项正是这个意思,所以应选B。
