问题     We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.
    Why do we go wrong about our friends–or out enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “you’re a lucky dog”. Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”, that’s being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
    How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
In the second paragraph, the author uses the example of “You’re a lucky dog” to show that________.
选项 A、the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly
B、this saying means the same as “You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”
C、sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words
D、the word “dog” shouldn’t be used to apply to people
答案C
解析 作者在第二段提到But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little，意思是用“dog”这样的词使你有点出洋相，所以C项“有时说话者所用的词会暴露其真实情感”的说法正确。
