    考研英语阅读理解第二十篇（后附习题和答案）
   
    Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have
you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you
afraid to ask someone for a date?
    Many people are afraid to assert(表现)themselves. Dr.Alberti, author of Stand
Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks it's because their self-respect is low.Our
whole set up(体制)is designed to make people distrust themselves,says
Alberti.There's always'superior'around–a parent, a teacher, a boss-who'knows
better'. There superiors often gain when they chip(削弱)away at your
self-image.
    But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert
themselves. They offerassertiveness trainingcourses–AT for short. In the AT
courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to
speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn　to be more active without
hurting other people.
    In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an At
course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But At uses an even stronger
motive-the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he
wants to tell how the feels.
    Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image. If
someone you face is moreimportantthan you, you may feel less of a person. You
start to doubt your own good sense.
    You go by the other person's demand. But, why should you? AT says you can
get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak
out.
