Selfcontrol is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses(沖動 ) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral(道德 ) freedom. A single angry word has lost many friends. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad.” “Keep cool,” says Webster, “anger is not argument.” “Be calm in arguing,” says Gee Herbert, “for fierceness(狂怒 ) makes error a fault.” To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “brings with folly and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him. Selfcontrol is man’s last and greatest victory. If a man lacks selfcontrol he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第 2 段可知，答案選 A。將第二段中 persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our points of view 與各選項進行比較可知。根據(jù)第一段對 we live in a world of persuasion的理解，第三段中we believe that persuasion is unavoidableto live is to persuade 及最后一段中persuasion is necessary to society與各選項進行比較可確定選 D。 73D 語義理解題。故答案選
