He can't even remember how he got home from the party, let alone how he got so drunk and is deathly afraid of what he may have done or said the night before to make his wife angry. The man forces his eyes open and the first things he sees are two headache tablets next to a glass of water on his table, and, next to them, a single red rose! He sits up with difficulty and sees his clothing hung on the back of his chair all clean and pressed and the rest of the house all in perfect order. Incredulous , the man takes the tablets and sees a black eye looking back at him from the bathroom mirror. Then he finds a note next to the red rose on the table, "Sweetie, breakfast is waiting for you on the stove. I left early to buy the cooking materials to make your favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling! " The note was signed, "Your loving wife." The man then walks into the kitchen. His daughter Jessie is at the table, eating. "Jessie...what happened last night?" The man asks, with great fear. "Well, you came home around four o'clock in the morning, drunk and out of your mind. You tripped and fell onto the coffee table and broke it, and got this black eye when you crashed into the table's edge." Puzzled, the man asks Jessie, "Then why is there a rose on my table and breakfast on the stove waiting for me?" "Oh that," Jessie replies, "well, Mom pulled you into your bedroom, and when she tried to undress you, you yelled, 'Leave me alone; I'm married and I love my wife!'" Question: The wife did so much for her husband that morning probably because _ . Options: A: she took it for granted B: her husband got drunk C: she was moved by his words D: she wanted to give her husband a surprise

They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment. They pay $5 for a caramel brulee latte because they like expensive coffee drinks. It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions , but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern, by observing our own behavior. We can be strangers to ourselves. If we knew our own minds, why should we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes. Actually, we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are. Moreover, we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character --- we infer characters that weren't there before. Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize. _ Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us. We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition. Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though it may not be in compliance with their true desires. Therefore, we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice: "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." Question: Which of the following would Daryl Bern most probably agree with? Options: A: The return of a wallet can indicate one's honesty. B: A kind person will offer his seat to the old. C: One recycles plastics to protect the environment. D: One buys latte out of love of coffee.

B: they are shorter than Hollywood films. C: the movies do not use any special effects . D: some movie reuses things from other movies.
