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.
If you followed the advice of the writer, you would________.
选项 A、be able to get the real meaning of what people say to you
B、avoid and mistakes while talking with people who envy you
C、not lose real friends who say things that do not please you
D、be able to observe people as they are talking to you
答案A
解析 文章最后一段即是作者的建议，尤其最后一句“花点时间想想人们话里的真实含意可能避免另一个错误”，由此推断选项A正确，而选项B和D的说法片面，选项C和原文意思相去甚远。
