大全2001年6月－Section II 7 矛盾解释题－看来看去没有觉得是矛盾

A certain moral system holds that performing good actions is praiseworthy only when one overcomes a powerful temptation in order to perform them. Yet this same moral system also holds that performing good actions out of habit is sometimes praiseworthy.

Which one of the following, if true, does the most to reconcile the apparent conflict in the moral system described above?

(A) People who perform good actions out of habit have often acquired this habit after years of having resisted temptation.

(B) Most people face strong moral temptation from time to time but few people have to endure it regularly.

(C) People virtually always perform actions they think are good, regardless of what other people may think.

(D) Since it is difficult to tell what is going on in another person’s mind, it is often hard to know exactly how strongly a person is tempted.（A）

(E) It is far more common for people to perform good actions out of habit than for them to do so against strong temptation.

路过同学帮帮忙吧，这题我死活没有看出来题目到底两个现象有什么矛盾了。用排除法作出了A，但是也不明白A在说啥

原文讲：做好事值得表扬－> 做好事的人是历经了诱惑的考验才去做好事的

(首先这里我就没有看懂，什么叫经历了诱惑做了好事才值得表扬？

好像“经历诱惑不做一件坏事才值得表扬”吧)

然后又讲：但有些按照个人习惯做的好事也值得表扬

我不明白"按照个人习惯"和"历经诱惑"他怎么就Paradox了

是文化背景上有什么我误解的吗？谢谢啦

paradox是說,A=只有克服誘惑才能表揚好行為,但是,B=出於習慣得也該表揚.留意only when....

例如說拾金不昧吧,的確有人看到錢的時候那一刻超想拿走它,經歷一場思想的鬥爭之後交給了警察叔叔(這個小學三年級作文基本套路). 題目的意思就是說只有這樣經過思想鬥爭克服了貪念才能表揚這種行為.接著題目又說:但是如果有人就是習慣了拾金不昧,看到了想都沒想就交警察,這種行為也要表揚表揚.

A就說了習慣拾金不昧也要長年累月地克服這種貪念才能養成這種習慣.

明白了，谢谢详细讲解，非常清楚啊

谢谢
