"The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful," says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.
A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself.
If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger.
Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. ""Keep cool", says Webster, "anger is not argument. ""Be calm in arguing", says George Herbert," for fierceness makes error a fault."
To be angry with a weak man is to proye that you are not strong yourself. "Anger", says Pythagoras," begins with folly and ends with regret. "You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.
Self-control is man’s last and greatest victory.
If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confldence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.
Concerning the remarks by those well-known people on self-control, which of the following is NOT true?
选项
A、It is better to keep calm, because anger does not mean truth.
B、Not keeping cool in arguing will make a small mistake serious.
C、Anger begins with folly and ends with regret.
D、Anger begins with a storm, and ends with victory.
答案
D
解析
本题为细节辨析题。A 选项“最好保持冷静,因为生气并不代表真理”,是对于 Webster 所说的“Keep cool,anger is not argument”解释。B 项“在辩论中不保持冷静,会使小错误变得严重”,是对于George Herbert 说的“Be calm in arguing,for fierceness makes error a fault”的解释。C 选项“Anger begins with folly and ends with victory"则是 Pythagoras 的原话,意为“发火以说蠢话开端以后悔结尾”。
