Our culture is concerned with matters of self-esteem. Self-respect, on the other hand, may hold the key to achieving the peace of mind we seek. The two concepts seem very similar but the differences between them are crucial.
To esteem anything is to evaluate it positively and hold it high regard, but evaluation gets us into trouble because while we sometimes win, we also sometimes lose. To respect something, on the other hand, is to accept it.
The word acceptance suggests to some readers that our culture does indeed deal with this idea of self-respect; after all, don’t we have the concept that it is important to accept our limitations? Aren’t many of us encouraged to change the things we can change, accept the things we cannot change and know the difference between the two?
The person with self-respect simply likes herself or himself. This self-respect is not dependent on success because there are always failures to contend with. Neither is it a result of comparing ourselves with others because there is always someone better. There are techniques usually employed to increase self-esteem. Self-respect, however, is a given. We simply like ourselves because of who we are and not because of what we can or cannot do.
My recent research, with Judith White and Johnny Walsh at Harvard University, points to the advantage of self-respect. Compared to those with high self-esteem who are still caught in an evaluative framework, those with self-respect are less prone to blame, guilt, regret, lies, have secrets and stress.
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What do we learn about self-esteem?
30. What do we learn about people with self-respect?
31. What does the speaker mean by saying "Self-respect is a given"?
32. What’s the purpose of the passage?
选项
A、To illustrate the importance of the speaker’s research.
B、To tell the difference of "self-respect" and "self-esteem".
C、To persuade people not to be concerned with "self-esteem".
D、To explain why some people are more prone to guilt and stress.
答案
B
解析
选项均以不定式开头可知,本题可能考查短文的写作意图。短文开头便提到self-respect和self-esteem两个名词,接着给出了各自的定义和侧重点,并以调查中拥有high self-respect的人和拥有high self-esteem的人的不同心理状况进一步说明它们的不同。[B]的表述概括了这些内容,故为答案。
