15.You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator.When you choose to be a victim,the world is a cold and difficult place."They"did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering."They"are wrong and bad,and life is terrible as long as"they"are around.Or you may blame yourself for all your problems,thus internalizing(內化) your victimization.The truth is,your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently.They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives,but they don't let this get in the way.They know they have their weaknesses,yet they don't blame themselves when they fail.Whatever happens,they have choice in the matter.They believe their dance with each moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotiona and spiritual (精神的)growth.
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities,yet their experience of life is quite different.Victims are trapped in anger,guilt,and other emotions that cause others-and even themselves-to feel like victims,too.Creators choose love,inspiration,and other qualities which inspire not only themselves,but all around them.Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the diretion of their lives.
In reality,all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives.One person,on losing a job or a special reltionship,may feelas if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months,years,or even a lifetime.Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the sadness,then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.
In every moment and every situation,you can choose to have fuller,richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within,and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.

分析 本文講述了兩種截然不同的人,一種是消極悲觀怨天尤人的"受害者",另一種是積極主動主宰自己命運的"締造者".在挫折面前他們表現(xiàn)出不同的態(tài)度,作者建議人們要轉變心態(tài)從命運的"受害者"變成自己命運的主宰者.
解答 32.B 推理判斷題.從下文敘述可知造成痛苦的是"yourself"或者是"they",所以they與yourself相對,指除了自己以外的其他人或事.故選B.
