Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses (冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. Keep cool, says George Herbert, for fierceness (狂怒) makes error a fault.To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. Anger, says Pythagoras, brings with folly ( 愚蠢 ) and ends with regret. You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.Self-control is mans last greatest victory.If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always becontrolled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.11. What does the reader learn from the first paragraph?A. The greatest victory for a man is to conquer everything except himself.B. Ones moral freedom is based on the control of himself.C. To control oneself is the most difficult in ones life.D.

If the gods want to kill you, they make you crazy first.B. If you always lose your temper, you will soon be finished.C. If you cannot control yourself, you will bee crazy.D.
