Despite your best intentions and efforts, it is inevitable: At some point in your life, you will be【C1】______. Mistakes can be hard to digest, so sometimes we【C2】______down rather than face them. Our confirmation bias kicks in, causing us to seek out 【C3】______ to prove what we already believe.
Psychologists call this cognitive dissonance—the stress we experience when we hold two【C4】______thoughts, beliefs, opinions or attitudes. For example, you might believe you are a kind and fair person, so when you 【C5】______ cut someone off, you experience【C6】______.
"Cognitive dissonance is what we feel when the self-concept—I’m smart, I’m kind, I’m convinced this belief is true—is 【C7】______ by evidence that we did something that wasn’t smart, that we did something that 【C8】______ another person, that the belief isn’t true" said Carol Tavris, a co-author of the book Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me).
When we 【C9】______ for being wrong, we have to accept this dissonance, and that is unpleasant. On the other hand, research has shown that it can feel good to stick to our【C10】______. One study, published in uie European Journal of Social Psychology, found that people who refused to apologize after a mistake had more【C11】______and felt more in control and【C12】______than those who did not【C13】______.
【C14】______how exactly do you change your behavior and learn to embrace your mistakes? The first step is to【C15】______cognitive dissonance in action. Your mind will go to great【C16】______to preserve your sense of identity, so it helps to be aware of what that dissonance feels like. Typically, it【C17】______as confusion, stress, embarrassment or guilt. Those feelings do not【C18】______mean you are in the wrong, but you can at least use them as reminders to explore the situation from an impartial perspective and【C19】______question whether you are at fault. Similarly, learn to recognize your usual justifications and rationalizations. Think of a time you were wrong and knew it, but tried to justify it instead. Remember how it felt to【C20】______your behavior and pinpoint that feeling as cognitive dissonance the next time it happens.
【C7】
选项
A、proved
B、encouraged
C、threatened
D、supported
答案
C
解析
本句意为“认识失调是我们在自我认知——我是聪明、善良的,我坚信这是真的——受到证据______时产生的感受,这些证据显示我们做了不聪明的、______其他人的事,证明我们之前的想法是错的”。由“这些证据显示我们做了不聪明的、______其他人的事,证明我们之前的想法是错的”可知,“我是聪明、善良的,我坚信这是真的”这种认知在受到质疑、挑战,故threaten“威胁”较合适。prove“证明”、encourage“鼓励”和support“支持”均与题意不符。
