16、esponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to offic
17、iate at two funerals on suessive days for two elderly women in my munity. Both had died full of years, as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence (吊) calls on the two families
18、 on the same afternoon. At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故的) woman said to me, If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It#39;s my fault that she died. At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, If only
19、 I hadn#39;t insisted on my mother#39;s going to Florida , she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It#39;s my fault that she#39;s dead.When things don#39;t turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had
20、 we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course - keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation would
21、 have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. Tha
22、t leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds. The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to b
23、elieving that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile myth of omnipotence (万能). A baby es to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons
24、the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone es to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not pletely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen. 21. What is said about the two deceased elderl
