问题 Ethical principles are generally thought to be ______.
What does the author mean by saying that we may learn moral principles "the hard way"?

选项 A、We reevaluate our previously held beliefs as we grow older.
B、We refute some moral principles only after we find them inconsistent.
C、We acquire a sense of right and wrong from real life lessons.
D、We act by ignoring our inherited altruistic tendencies.

答案C

解析这是一道词义题。题干中的信号词为the hard way，出自于第三段第八句话中。文章第三段指出：长大后，我们开始接触不同的道德观，这些观念可能促使我们重新评估我们已有的信念；我们可能从教训中了解到，某些行为产生了不为人接受的后果；或者，我们思考自己或其他人的“理论”或行为模式，看看它们是否一致。这说明，作者的意思是，我们从现实生活的教训中获得知识。C说“我们从现实生活的教训中获得对与错的认识”，这与作者的观点符合。重新评估我们以前持有的观念是由接触不同的道德观导致的，与作者说该句话没有关系，所以A不对；文中没有提到B；与D有关的信息是该段的第六句话，文中是说“我们发现自己在不由自主地作某些评价，可能是由于我们先天的利他主义倾向”，说明D不对。
