问题     We are the sum of our actions. I believe that the actions you take determine who you are. But, you say, I had an abusive father/mother, I was poor growing up, I just wasn’t born smart, I have a disease.. . All of these things do not make you who you are, they only broaden your knowledge or experience, they are things that happen to you, circumstances. You are not the sum of your circumstances, but of your re"actions" to them.
    This is why rich kids become drug addicts or wife beaters, kids from the ghetto become doctors or loving fathers, and everything in between. All walks of life produce all walks of life, which proves that the environmental variables are not the determining factors. It is all about your choices/reactions/ actions/behavior. Every human being has within them a mechanism that guides their actions. The more you rebel against your inner guide, the more you tune your selective hearing to the "me" channel, the farther down the "bad" side of the scale you will slide. On the other hand, if you not only listen to but act upon, the "universal" channel, the farther up the "good" side of the scale you will fly.
    Even Psychiatrists have in recent years discovered that in order to change thinking, a person must first change behavior. At first thought, it would seem the opposite is true, it is not. We all have the same range of human emotions. When we feel slighted, it sounds in our heads like "I want to slap them, curse them, get even, and cause them the same pain they caused me". Acting upon these thoughts perpetuates cycles of abuse, addiction, and pain. It’s when you choose not to act upon these thoughts, and instead, forgive and heal, that your thoughts and perceptions will start to change also. You change because right actions produce right results. You are choosing to heal properly by forgiving, and accepting life and mankind as it is, and in turn yourself as you are, which is the only way to have peace, joy, and true happiness.
    I will admit that if you have a parent who accepts you as a whole person, inclusive of "good and bad", you may have an edge or jumpstart on understanding life, yourself, and others. If you don’t, it may just take you longer to understand, accept, and act on it. Either way, who you are is determined by you, and you are determined by your actions. So, tune in everybody, to that universal channel, and act right!
The example of what we think when we feel slighted is given to show that ______.
选项 A、it is uncivilized to think of retaliation
B、we have to cultivate our behavior first
C、our behavior is guided by our thought
D、human beings share similar emotions
答案B
解析 根据第三段中的“…in order to change thinking，a person must first change behavior．Atfirst thought，it would seem the opposite is true，it is not．…”可知，作者认为，必须先改变行为，然后才能转变思想。所以，B应为答案。
