"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.
What is the correct interpretation of "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad "?
选项
A、If the gods want to kill you, they make you crazy first.
B、If you always lose your temper, you will soon be finished.
C、If you cannot control yourself, you will become crazy.
D、If you are mad, you will be punished by the gods.
答案
B
解析
本题为细节辨析题。该句含义为“上帝要毁灭谁必先使其发疯”,这种“毁灭”可能是精神上的也可能是肉体上的,因此 A 选项中 kill(杀死)是不准确的。再者,上下文的内容都是在强调不要动怒、要冷静,以及动怒发火的危害,所以 B 选项,“你若总是发火,你就很快会完蛋了”是正确的。
