问题     Respect is your ability to empathize with another human being, despite contrasting opinions, values, or lifestyles. Being able to put yourself in another persons shoes, see the world as they may see it, and respect the decisions they make based on their life, is essential as a part of living.
    People are uniquely diverse. No one person will ever truly be the same as another. No one is ever going to have all the same opinions as you, agree with you always, or even understand where you are coming from all of the time. But, if you learn to respect that, things become a lot easier.
    Respecting a person can be easy when they are similar to you, or their character agrees with the things you favor in life. For example, if an aspiring writer meets a published author, they respect them. But, the more difficult part of respect is maintaining it even when the other person does not relate to you. If you think negatively of a person, it is hard to feel respect for them. But everyone has an aspect of themselves which deserves respect. Even if nothing else, every person deserves basic human respect.
    Respect comes in many forms, from what you say to a person, how you treat them, your body language around a person, and even the decisions you make based on a person.
    What is the simplest way to maintain respect? Treat others as you would be treated. It is never easy to respect someone who you dislike, or can’t relate to. But, it is the most rewarding aspect of respect. When you reach out your hand to a person who does not expect such a gesture from you, they open up. Maybe not right away, but with time, their opinion of you can change.
    The same goes for self-respect. It’s hard to respect yourself when you’ve done wrong, made bad decisions, or even just had a rough day. But if you keep believing in yourself, and try to do better each day, respect can become easier.
    So what is the true meaning of respect? It is being positive towards yourself and others when the easier option seems to be negativity. It’ s giving people a chance, believing in opportunity, and understanding that just because someone is different, doesn’t mean you both don’t deserve the same.
In order to build self-respect, you should______.
选项 A、avoid making any arbitrary decisions
B、be positive towards those you dislike
C、grasp at every opportunity to develop
D、have self-confidence and be optimistic
答案D
解析 根据第六段中的“The same goes for self—respect．…if you keep believing in yourself，and tryto do better each day，respect can become easier”可知，自信和乐观有助于培养自尊。所以，D应为答案。
