Despite your best intentions and efforts, it is【C1】______: At some point in your life, you will be wrong. 【C2】_______ can be hard to digest, so sometimes we double down rather than 【C3】_______ them. Our confirmation bias kicks in, causing us to 【C4】_______ out evidence to prove what we already believe. The car you 【C5】_______ off has a small dent in its bumper, 【C6】_______ obviously means that it is the other driver’ s fault.
Psychologists call this cognitive dissonance—the stress we experience when we hold two 【C7】_______ beliefs, opinions or attitudes. For example, you might believe you are a kind and【C8】______person, so when you rudely cut someone off, you experience 【C9】_______ . To【C10】______with it, you deny your mistake and insist the other driver【C11】______have seen you, or you had the right of way even if you didn’ t.
When we apologize for being wrong, we have to accept this dissonance, and that is【C12】______. On the other hand, research has shown that it can feel good to stick【C13】______our guns. One study found that people who refused to apologize felt more in control than those who did not refuse. Feeling【C14】______may be an attractive short-term benefit,【C15】______there are long-term consequences. Refusing to apologize could potentially【C16】______the trust on which a relationship is based. So how exactly do you change your behavior and learn to【C17】______your mistakes? The first step is to learn to recognize your usual justification and【C18】______.
Mr. Okimoto said it also helped to remember that people were often more【C19】______than you might think. On the flip side, if it is undeniably clear that you are in the wrong, refusing to apologize【C20】______low self-confidence.
【C5】
选项
A、give
B、take
C、cut
D、turn
答案
C
解析
本句意为“被你一的车的保险杠上有一个小凹痕,这显然意味着是那个司机的错”。纵观四个选项,cut off“隔断;切断”符合题意,此处可意译为“加塞”。give off“散发”、take off“起飞,离开”和turn off“关闭”均不符合题意。
