Why was Jenny unhappy at the beginning of the conversation? [br]
M: Why? Jenny? You look unhappy.
F: I lost my temper at an old man just now, and I feel terrible.
M: Oh, you shouldn’t have done that. But why did you lose your temper?
F: Lack of patience. He was counting out the coins, one by one, with his fumbling fingers. I was filled with exasperation at the checkout point. Finally, I said to him: can’t you count faster? Not everyone has as much time as you! He flushed. Suddenly I realized just how cruel I had been. Because I, too, could become dependent on the kindness of strangers one day when I get as old.
M: Did you say sorry to him?
F: Yes. But I just wonder, how I can become more patient. You know, when you are impatient, you are apt to be rude. And such behavior is counter-productive, making people angry or stubborn or uncooperative.
M: Yes, I sometimes act impatiently, honking my horn the moment the light changed, speaking sharply to someone slow to understand. We really should learn various approaches for calming ourselves in stressful situations. I have even found some books to help me. There is some useful advice.
F: Can you tell me something about what you have read in those books?
M: Well, one of the books says that we should allow for marginal error.
F: What does that mean?
M: That means it is better to provide a margin for error. Impatient people don’t like to waste time, so they cut things too closely. For example, if you are going for an appointment, you should plan for delays.
F: Well...
选项
A、You should plan for delays.
B、You should cut everything closely.
C、You shouldn’t make any mistakes when going for an appointment.
D、You should always be punctual.
答案
A
解析
题干问的是一句话的意思,听的时候就要仔细听清这句话,并且注意这句话前后的内容。对话最后说“that means it is better to provide…you should plan for delays”,选项C跟D在对话中没有提到,而B则说的是没有耐心的人的做法,与题意不符,题目中那句话说的是克服没有耐心的办法,所以B不对,正确答案为A。
