So many of us hold on to little resentments that may have stemmed from an argument, a misunderstanding, or some other painful event. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle(重新激起)a friendship or family relationship.
An acquaintance of mine whose health isn’t very good recently told me that she hasn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. "Why not?" I asked. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resisted initially and said, "I can’t do that. He’s the one who should apologize." She was literally willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own.
As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, he wins. Whenever we hold on to our anger we turn "small stuff’ into really "big stuff" in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go as well as the joy of letting others be right You’ll also notice that as you reach out and let others be "right" they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But if for some reason they don’t that’s okay too. You will have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself. [br] The purpose of the passage is to _____.
选项
A、instruct the readers how to apologize
B、teach the readers how to gain inner peace
C、inform the readers of the importance of being forgiving
D、tell the readers to reach out first when there is resentment
答案
D
解析
文章第一句就点出了本文将要讨论如何面对怨恨情绪,接着作者以朋友的例子说明应主动和解,由此可推断选项D为正确答案。其他选项都具干扰性。选项A极具迷惑性,事实上,本文并无说明“道歉”的方法,只是表明应首先道歉。选项B中的inner peace在文中也有出现,但是原文只是指出首先道歉能带来inner peace,并未从多个方面说明如何才能gain inner peace。选项C中的being forgiving不是文章的重点,本文说的是“道歉”,而不是“原谅”。
