问题     When we are not engaged in thinking about some specific problem, we usually spend about 95 percent of our time thinking about ourselves. Now, if we stop thinking about ourselves for a while and begin to think of other persons’ good points, things will be quite different.
    One of the most neglected virtues is appreciation. Somehow, we neglect to praise our son or daughter when he or she brings home a good report card, and we fail to encourage our children when they first succeed in baking a cake or building a birdhouse. Nothing pleases children more than this kind of parental interest and approval.
    The next time you enjoy delicious food at a restaurant, send a word to the cook that it is excellently prepared, and when a tired salesperson shows you unusual politeness, please mention it.
    Every minister, every lecturer and every public speaker knows the discouragement of pouring himself or herself out to an audience and not receiving any appreciative comments. What applies to professionals applies doubly to workers in offices, shops and factories and our families and friends. In our interpersonal relations we should never forget that all our associates are human beings and hunger for appreciation. It is the legal tender that all souls enjoy.
    Try to be friendly and appreciative in your daily life, and you’ll be surprised how that will change your life and the world.
The writer believes that________.

选项 A、people often appreciate things other people do
B、people seldom appreciate things other people do
C、say "thanks" to someone, and you’ll soon become friends
D、express your gratitude to others, and they will pass it on

答案B

解析 根据第一段第一句“…We usually spend about 95 percent of 0lIr time thinking about ourselves. ”以及第二、三、四段所举的例子可推知,人们大部分时间是在思考自己的事情,通常很少欣赏他人所做的事情。选项A与文章内容不符;选项C、D在文中并未提及。故选B。
