Emotions are an essential and inseparable part of our consciousness. They are part of a built-in mechanism which allows us to cope with the ups and downs of our lives both physically and mentally.
    When we hide our emotions and our true feelings, we stop being genuine, spontaneous and authentic in our relationships. When we put on cultivated and polished faces in the company of others, we stop being true to ourselves. Socially, it may be a good tactic to hide our true emotions, but morally, it is also a breach of faith and trust. Although humans are more advanced and intelligent, animals are more genuine and authentic in their behavior and responses than human beings. The more educated we are, the less transparent and reliable we become. We are drawn to our pets because pets do not lie.
    One of the first steps in dealing with emotions such as anger or fear is to acknowledge them as normal and human. There is nothing sinful or immoral about being emotional unless your emotions make you inhuman, insensitive, and cruel to others. Feelings of guilt associated with emotions are more devastating and damaging than the experience of emotion itself. So when you deal with the problem of emotions, you should learn not only how to control them, but also how to accept them and manage the guilt and anguish arising from them.
    Our brains are made up of a primitive inner core and a more evolved and rational outer core. Most of the time, the rational part of the mind controls the information coming from the primitive core and makes its own decisions as to what to do and how to respond. However, during critical situations, especially when a threat is perceived, the outer core loses control and fails to regulate the impulses and instinctive responses coming from the primitive brain. As a result, we let disturbing thoughts and emotions arise in our consciousness and surrender to our primitive behavior.
    In times of emotional turmoil, remember that emotions arise because your senses are wild to the primitive part of your mind, which is self-regulated, autonomous and spontaneous. Your rational mind does not always deal with the messages coming from it effectively. These messages are part of your survival mechanism and should not be stifled simply because emotions are unhealthy and betray your weaknesses. When emotions arise, instead of stifling them, pay attention to them and try to understand the messages they are trying to deliver. This way you make use of your emotions without losing your balance and inner stability.
    19.What does the speaker say about hiding one’s emotions?
    20.What should we do first in dealing with emotions?
    21.What are we advised to do when emotions arise?

选项 A、Find out their causes.
B、Accept them as normal.
C、Guard against their harm.
D、Assess their consequences.

答案 B

解析 讲话者在讲话中明确提到:应对愤怒或恐惧等情绪的第一步是承认它们是正常的、符合人性的,即不要对此做出过激反应或者产生很大的负罪感,因为这些负罪感比情绪体验本身更具摧毁力和破坏性,我们要做的就是如常接受。选项B的说法与讲话内容一致,为正确答案。选项A、D讲话中并未提到,故可直接排除。选项C属于过度推断,讲话中提到,与情绪相关的负罪感比情绪本身更具有摧毁力,即情绪本身没有什么破坏性,真正具有破坏性的是我们的反应,这样一来,自然也就不用对情绪带来的伤害进行防范了,因此选项C排除。
