Part II. Reading Comprehension (20 points) 色酷
Passage One
As we consider what makes one man better than the other, let’s look at two examples. The first example is a man who has a good job, a healthy body, and a loving family. His success is due to good decisions. He cho the correct subjects to study when he was at the university. Now that he’s out of school, he always schedules his time well so that he can get everything done at the proper time. He exercis and eats well, as he understands the benefits of this. In addition, in order to achieve happiness in the home, he spends time with his family and makes sure they all have when they need. On the other hand, the cond man is something less than the successful person the first man is. What’s wrong with him?
Good n is the ability to know what is true or right from what is not true or wrong. And some people might think that the cond lacks good n. However, the person who thinks this is mistaken. Actually, since everyone has the same amount of good n, the first man does not have an advantage over the cond in this respect. The cond man has
a good mind, and he has the ability to judge things well.
The cond man runs into trouble, becau he directs his thought along a different path. He considers other things, different from the first man. The problem is that he does not apply his mind rightly, as does the first one. Thus, he is not capable of advancing further than he does. 兽人正太
