M: One of the most common questions we ask about people’s behavior is why. Why does she say this? Why does he do that? Sometimes the reason is obvious. For example, someone is driving down the street, the light turns red, and he stops, why?
W: Because he has to, legally I mean.
M: Exactly! In this case the reason is obvious, so we usually don’t question it. But when the reason is not so obvious and especially when the behavior could have negative consequences, we’re more likely to feel a need to explain the causes of the behavior. Social psychologists have a term for this, for the process of explaining the causes of behavior. It’s called causal attribution. And one theory suggests there’s a pattern in the way we go about attributing causes to people’s behavior. According to this theory, there are two categories of reasons: internal factors and external factors. Again, Lisa, say you’re driving down the road and all of a sudden some guy turns into the lane right in front of you, and you have to slam on your brake to avoid an accident. How do you react?
W: I’ll probably get very angry.
M: Because...
W: Well, he’s not paying attention; he’s a bad driver.
M: So you automatically attribute the driver’s behavior to an internal factor. He himself is to blame because he is careless.
W: So if I said it was because of heavy traffic or something, I’d be attributing his behavior to an external factor, something beyond his control.
M: Good. Now how will you explain your own negative behavior?
W: I should blame external factors.
M: That’s right.
选项
A、We should blame external factors.
B、We should blame internal factors.
C、We should blame others.
D、We needn’t blame ourselves.
答案
A
解析
综合推断题,男士最后问:“你应该怎样解释自己所犯的错误呢?”女士回答:“我会找客观原因”由此推断,我们都会为自己的错误找客观原因,所以A正确,考点 say 有“例如说,譬如说”的意思,与for example 和for instance 意思相近,是let us say 的简化语,当前面是假设的条件或某种特定的情况需要举例说明时,通常用say,如:If you were to get a large sum of money,say,10,000 dollars,what would you do with it? 如果你能得到一大笔钱,比如说,一万美元,你打算用来做什么?attribute to 意为“某事归因于…”,如:delays attributed to snow 因下雪而耽搁;它还有“被认为是…写的”的意思,如:This tune is usually attributed to Chopin.这首曲子通常被认为是肖邦所作,be to blame 意为“应受谴责的,是起因或某事的根源”,如:A freak storm was to blame for the power outage.停电的起因是一场特大的暴风雨
