Theresa May, the UK prime minister, has a hard choice to make. Sadly, either way she loses. She can choose to lose face in the short term, or choose to lose the wellbeing of this nation for the long term. Which is it to be?
Wise and effective leadership rarely goes hand in hand with popularity. The role of leaders is to discover what is in the best interests of their people, and lead the people in that direction, which takes courage, understanding, trust, explanation, persuasion. Before 24 June 2016, and probably well beyond, May knew that Brexit would be a costly mistake for Britain. Has her genuine judgment changed that much?
The referendum result needs to be understood. That 52% (of the voters) said "leave", on the "terms" that were offered at the time does not equate to an order for the hard Brexit that is now in view. The vote did indicate that a large sector of the electorate are upset by current UK politics, feeling unrepresented, misunderstood. The "leave" campaign tapped into those feelings and persuaded many people that they were caused by Europe. The real causes lie closer to home, and more within UK government’s power to address.
Even at this
eleventh hour
, there is still the opportunity to address those real issues. May could postpone triggering article 50 to give time for further consideration of the UK’s forward direction, or press forward with "No deal is better than a bad deal" — but realizing that "no deal" should mean staying in the EU. If we can’t get "the exact same benefits" as we enjoy now outside the EU, why would we leave? Would 52% really vote for the drastic reduction in national wellbeing that will result from a hard Brexit?
May should choose her legacy: the PM who took the inherited poisoned wine glass and made the nation drink from it; or the PM who recognized it for what it was and set about persuading the nation that it would be much better for our wellbeing if we pour it down the drain and start considering what is really in the national interest. The British people must have the defining say over what kind of deal is reached. We all have the right to know what is being negotiated on our behalf. We will unite to campaign for a deal which guarantees the rights of workers and migrants, and which maintains key environmental and human rights protections. In an increasingly nasty and divided world, we will fight for a future of international cooperation and social justice.
In Paragraph Five, the author recommends that Theresa May______.
选项
A、lead the country to mass suicide
B、reconsider her decisions on Brexit

答案

解析
该段的大意是:首相既可以选择让国人喝下毒酒(脱欧),也可选择劝说国人把毒酒倒掉,重新考虑什么样的行动符合国家利益。
