Our culture is concerned with matters of self-esteem. Self-respect, on the other hand, may hold the key to achieving the peach of mind we seek. (32)The two concepts seem very similar but the differences between them are crucial.
     (29)To esteem anything is to evaluate it positively and hold it high regard, but evaluation gets us into trouble because while we sometimes win, we also sometimes lose. To respect something, on the other hand, is to accept it.
     The word acceptance suggests to some readers that our culture does indeed deal with this idea of self-respect; after all, don’t we have the concept that it is important to accept our limitations? Aren’t many of us encouraged "to change the things we can change, accept the things we cannot change and know the difference between the two?"
    (30)The person with self-respect simply likes herself or himself. This self-respect is not dependent on success because there are always failures to contend with, Neither is it a result of comparing ourselves with others because there is always someone better. There are techniques usually employed to increase self-esteem. (31)Self-respect, however, is a given. We simply like ourselves because of who we are and not because of what we can or cannot do.
     My recent research, with Judith White and Johnny Walsh at Harvard University, points to the advantage of selfrespect. (32)Compared to those with high self-esteem who are still caught in an evaluative framework, those with self-respect are less prone to blame, guilt, regret, lies, have secrets and stress.

选项 A、It is the same as self-respect.
B、It is totally different from self-respect.
C、It is to think only the positive even when we lose.
D、It is to evaluate positively and hold high regard.

答案 D

解析 细节推断题 。文中说到“esteem所指的尊重是别人的评价以及给予重视。”由此可知,D 为正确答案。第一段提到“self-respect与self-esteem(自尊)这两个概念非常相似,但它们之间的不同却是决定性的。”可知,A 、B 两项都不正确。
