问题      "The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful," says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.
    A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. ""Keep cool", says Webster, "anger is not argument. ""Be calm in arguing", says George Herbert," for fierceness makes error a fault."
    To be angry with a weak man is to proye that you are not strong yourself. "Anger", says Pythagoras," begins with folly and ends with regret. "You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.
    Self-control is man’s last and greatest victory.
    If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confldence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.
If a man is short of self-control, all of the following will take place except that ______.
选项 A、he will lack the very backbone and nerve of character
B、he will lack patience and power to control himself
C、he will lack strong feelings
D、he will lack self-confidence
答案C
解析 本题为细节辨析题。文章最后一段提到，一个人缺乏自制的话也就缺乏了一切：他会缺乏耐心，缺乏管理自己的能量；他会没有自信，因为他总受到自己的最强烈的感情的支配；他还会缺乏意志力和勇气。
