问题     It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being humans, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged roughly, said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and truly that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isn’t it? Frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that whenever a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and regret is expressed.
    I remember a doctor friend, the late Clarence Libel, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia(失眠症) and stomach trouble. No physical cause could be found. Finally Dr. Libel said to the man, "Unless you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t help you. "
    After some hesitation, the man confessed that as executor of his father’s will, he had been cheating his elder brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance(遗产). Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his elder brother asking forgiveness and enclosing a check as the first step in restoring their good relations. The doctor then went with him to the mailbox in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears, "Thank you. I think I’m cured. " And he was.
    A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it strong. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or judged too roughly, or just neglected, do something about it right now.
When we have done something wrong, we should________.

选项 A、look back with honesty and think over the fault carefully
B、escape from being disturbed
C、admit the fault and express the regret
D、forgive ourselves

答案C

解析 通读全文,尤其是第一段最后一句以及最后一段可知,每犯下一个小错,某种神秘的道德情感就会受到干扰,直到承认错误,表达后悔之情,它才会平衡;真诫的道歉不仅能修复一段受损的关系,还能让它变得牢固;如果你能想到某个需要你道歉的人,冤枉了的人,粗暴地评判了的人,或者忽视了的人,现在就做点什么吧。由此可推知,当我们做了错事时,我们应该承认错误,并表达后悔之情。故选C。
