A strange thing about humans is their capacity for blind rage. Rage is presumably an emotion resulting from survival instinct, but the surprising thing about it is that we do not deploy it against other animals. If we encounter a dangerous wild animal—a poisonous snake or a wildcat-we do not fly into a temper. If we are unarmed, we show fear and attempt to back away; if we are suitably armed, we attack, but in a rational manner not in a rage. We reserve rage for our own species. It is hard to see any survival value in attacking one’ s own, but if we take account of the long competition which must have existed between our own subspecies and others like Neanderthal mar—indeed others still more remote from us than Neanderthal man—man rage becomes more comprehensible.
In our everyday language and behavior there are many reminders of those early struggles. We are always using tile words "us and them". "Our" side is perpetually trying to do down the "other" side. In games we artificially create other subspecies we can attack. The opposition of "us" and "them" is the touchstone of the two-party system of "democratic" politics. Although there are no very serious consequences to many of this modern psychological representation of the "us and them" emotion, it is as well to remember that the original aim was not to beat the other subspecies in a game but to exterminate it.
The readiness with which human beings allow themselves to be regimented has permitted large armies to be formed, which, taken together with the "us and them" blind rage, has led to destructive clashes within our subspecies itself. The First World War is an example in which Europe divided itself into two imaginary subspecies. And there is a similar extermination battle now in Northern Ireland. The idea that there is a religious basis for this clash is illusory, for not even the pope has been able to control it. The clash is much more primitive than the Christian religion, much older in its emotional origin. The conflict in Ireland is unlikely to stop until a greater primitive fear is imposed from outside the community, or until tile combatants become exhausted. [br] A suitable title for this passage would be_____.
选项

解析
本题是要选出适合文章的标题。总揽全文可知,文章第一段指出“A strange thing about humans istheir capacity for blind rage.”。随后解释了这个问题。第二段中说,在我们的语言和行为中有许多词提醒着我们注意到人类早期的斗争,如“我们”和“她们”,最初,我们在游戏中,会人为制造一个亚群体作为攻击的对象。第三段讲了愤怒使人们集结成军队,导致了人类亚群体之间的破坏性冲突。这说明,本文主要讲的是人类的capacity for blind rage,因此C项为正确答案。
