We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we do look back, it’ s already too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’ t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone says to you, " You are a lucky dog. " That’ s being friendly. But there is a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’ t see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’ t think you deserve your luck.
"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’ t important. It’ s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’ t got a date for a Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’ s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
According to this passage, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that______.
选项
A、even friends are annoyed when we check what they say
B、people usually state one thing and mean another
C、we fail to listen carefully when others talk
D、we tend to doubt what our friends say
答案
B
解析
根据第二段第二、三句“Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning…”可知,有时候人们所说的话言不由衷,如果我们不仔细倾听、揣摩,就会造成误解。故选B。
