问题     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 Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” 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 friends–or out enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “you’re a lucky dog”. Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”, that’s being friendly. But “lucky 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 he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
    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 square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)? 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.
From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker________.

选项 A、feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him
B、feels he may not have “read” his friends’ true feelings correctly
C、thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend, Helen
D、is sorry that his friends let him down

答案B

解析 文章第一段“当我们回顾过去,像这些疑问可能使我们感觉糟糕,但当我们回顾过去,为时已晚”,由此推断说话者认为可能在过去他未能“读懂”朋友的真实感受。
