Ⅳ 阅读理解(每小题2.5分,满分10分)
In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as
something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting
the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett—“Fail again. Fail better.” It
seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to
success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in
victory.
However, psychological researchers find most of us struggle to
handle failure constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail forward”.

We find ways to devalue the task in which we failed, and become
less motivated to persevere and reach our goals. This phenomenon
is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which was discovered by
Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.
Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective
mechanism (机制). “Most of us picture ourselves as able people, so
when feedback from others suggests the opposite, it poses a serious
threat to that self-image,” he says. “The easiest way out is to deny or
explain away the outside signal, so we can keep a positive sense of
1

self. We do this even without noticing.”
If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might
convince yourself that you don’t really want it at all, and stop applying
for similar positions. The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports
trial, or if you lose a singing contest. “We tend to explain away our
shortcomings and convince ourselves our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan
A’,” Sjastad says.
It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can
1

单 元 小 测
be healthy to change if the process is no longer making us happy. But
the “sour-grape effect” may lead us to come to this decision
prematurely, rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we
might learn and improve.
Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment
instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened,
however, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.

grape effect’ is a self-protective mechanism (机制). ‘Most of us picture
ourselves as able people, so when feedback from others suggests the
opposite, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,’ he says.”和“The
easiest way out is to deny or explain away the outside signal, so we can
keep a positive sense of self.”可知,酸葡萄效应是一种自我保护机制,
当外部反馈与自我形象不一致时,我们就会否认或为这种外部信号辩
解,从而保护自己。由此可推测出,酸葡萄效应会让我们否认外界给我
们的负面反馈。故选D。
