"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
You probably heard those lines in grammar school, but do you really agree that harsh(严厉的)or negative words do not harm us? Words have power. Surely we all have had our feelings hurt by something someone said.
We may not say words to hurt others, but the way we interpret them and how we say them may cause great harm. Here’s an example:
An ancient king dreamed all his teeth had fallen out. He sent for a wise man to explain his dream to him: the dream means that all your relatives will die and you will be left alone!
The king was very angry and threw the interpreter into prison. He then sent for another interpreter who said," Congratulations! King! You will live many more years. In fact, you will survive all your relatives. Long Live the King!"
Both interpreters gave the same interpretation, but there was a huge difference in the way they said it.
Our speech must be understood by those who hear our words, but the way we say things and the intention behind them have as much power as the words themselves.
Words can cause anger or appreciation. Which would you rather receive?
People who say harsh and negative things may not mean to harm, but have you ever known anyone who is a
naysayer
? They often look at the dark sides of things. They always see the glass as half empty rather than half full. How do you feel when you are around this type of person? Remember words have power. Use them wisely.
The author wrote the last paragraph to______.
选项
A、show how the dark sides of things affect people
B、advise people to see and say things positively
C、show how harsh and negative words hurt people
D、advise people to stay away from negative people
答案
B
解析
目的意图题。由最后一段第一句“People who say harsh and negative things may not mean to harm...?”以及最后两句“Remember words have power.Use them wisely.”可知此处应该是建议人们在说话时用词要积极、正面。故选B项。
