　　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 Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “And Paulwhy didn't pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” 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 friendsor our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You're a lucky dog.” that's being friendly. But “l(fā)ucky 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 they doesn't think you deserve your luck.

　　“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.

　　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 agree with the tone of voice? His posture (姿態(tài))? 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.

Answer 1

答案：C;C;B;D
解析：

1．本篇應(yīng)注意文章中心句的把握，及每段的中心句。比如第一段的第一句話基本已經(jīng)點(diǎn)出了文章的中心。而下文關(guān)于我們可能所犯錯(cuò)誤的詳細(xì)描述都是為了最終給出建議如何解決這個(gè)問題。 　　3．注意這種在文中解釋詞義的題目一定要把上下文讀通，在文中理解其含義。it是對(duì)上文提到的事物的指代，結(jié)合上文，應(yīng)是指前句中的envy。
