54. How is the advice giver likely to react to the rejection of their advice?
- A. They may regard it as a threat.
- B. They may modify their behavior.
- C. They get ready for a larger conflict.
- D. They begin to doubt their self-worth.
答案：A
答案句：If the act of giving advice is contributing actively to someone's feelings of self-worth, an outright(直率的) rejection may be perceived as a threat, activating their fight-or-flight response, possibly causing them to double down on their validation-seeking behavior, or leading to a larger conflict.
T
参考译文：如果给出建议的行为积极促进了某人的自我价值感，那么直率的拒绝可能被视为威胁，激活他们的战斗或逃跑反应，可能导致他们加倍寻求验证的行为，或导致更大的冲突。
定位线索：题干“rejection”→答案句“outright rejection”；文中“may be perceived as a threat”对应选项A“may regard it as a threat”（可能视为威胁）。
解析：题干问建议者对被拒绝的可能反应。答案句明确指出“an outright rejection may be perceived as a threat”，即可能被视为威胁，对应A选项。B选项“modify their behavior”无中生有；C选项“get ready for a larger conflict”是可能结果之一，但题干问“likely to react”，A更直接；D选项“doubt their self-worth”与原文“contributing to self-worth”相反。
55. What should the advice receiver do to avoid unnecessary conflict?
- A. Concede the advice is perfectly reasonable.
- B. Give their reasons for not taking the advice.
- C. Understand why the advice giver offers the advice.
- D. Explain their chosen way of handling the situation.
答案：C
答案句：It is best to set boundaries in a way that takes into account the individual's underlying reasons for doing what they are doing to avoid unnecessary conflict and more stress.
参考译文：最好以考虑个人行为背后原因的方式来设定界限，以避免不必要的冲突和更多压力。
定位线索：题干“avoid unnecessary conflict”→答案句“avoid unnecessary conflict”；文中“takes into account the individual's underlying reasons”对应选项C“Understand why the advice giver offers the advice”（理解建议者给出建议的原因）。
解析：题干问建议接收者如何避免不必要的冲突。答案句明确指出“takes into account the individual's underlying reasons”，即考虑个人行为背后的原因，对应C选项。A选项“concede the advice is perfectly reasonable”与原文“validate without over-identifying”不符；B选项“give reasons for not taking advice”无中生有；D选项“explain their chosen way”是建议话术的一部分，但非避免冲突的关键。
