Despite your best intentions and efforts, it is inevitable: At some point in your life, you will be【C1】________. Mistakes can be hard to digest, so sometimes we【C2】________down rather than face them. Our confirmation bias kicks in, causing us to seek out【C3】________to prove what we already believe.
Psychologists call this cognitive dissonance—the stress we experience when we hold two【C4】________thoughts, beliefs, opinions or attitudes. For example, you might believe you are a kind and fair person, so when you【C5】________cut someone off, you experience【C6】________.
"Cognitive dissonance is what we feel when the self-concept—I’m smart, I’m kind, I’m convinced this belief is true—is【C7】________by evidence that we did something that wasn’t smart, that we did something that【C8】________another person, that the belief isn’t true" said Carol Tavris, a co-author of the book Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me).
When we【C9】________for being wrong, we have to accept this dissonance, and that is unpleasant. On the other hand, research has shown that it can feel good to stick to our【C10】________. One study, published in the European Journal of Social Psychology, found that people who refused to apologize after a mistake had more【C11】________and felt more in control and【C12】________than those who did not【C13】________.
【C14】________how exactly do you change your behavior and learn to embrace your mistakes? The first step is to【C15】________cognitive dissonance in action. Your mind will go to great【C16】________to preserve your sense of identity, so it helps to be aware of what that dissonance feels like. Typically, it【C17】________as confusion, stress, embarrassment or guilt. Those feelings do not【C18】________mean you are in the wrong, but you can at least use them as reminders to explore the situation from an impartial perspective and【C19】________question whether you are at fault. Similarly, learn to recognize your usual justifications and rationalizations. Think of a time you were wrong and knew it, but tried to justify it instead. Remember how it felt to【C20】________your behavior and pinpoint that feeling as cognitive dissonance the next time it happens.
【C2】
选项
A、double
B、fall
C、kneel
D、get
答案
A
解析
本句意为“错误可能难以消化,所以我们有时会________,而不是面对它们”。根据下文可知,当人们意识到自己犯错时,不是积极承认,而是想办法证明之前的想法。Fall down“倒下,跌倒”;kneel down“跪下”和get down“趴下”均不符合题意,double down字面意思为“双倍下注”,这里意为“孤注一掷”,故A项正确。
