Question

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
C
In seventh grade, I decided to try out for my school musical. I only made it through the first part before the drama teacher stopped me. It goes without saying that my Christmas carol didn't get me any role.
Am I embarrassed? No. Not just because it was ten years ago, but also because it's such a great story to share. Why? I think the main reason is that admitting to mistakes makes you easier to relate to. Interestingly enough, science proves this theory.
Researchers have conducted numerous studies and have concluded that when someone makes a mistake or acts in a clumsy(笨拙的) way, they are found to be more likeable. In other words, if you're competent(有能力的) at something and then you mess up, it shows your human side. This allows others to connect and relate to you, which in turn makes them like you more.
Growing up, I was the type of student who had to get straight A's and the type of athlete who always had to perform at the top of the game. The problem was that my standards were so high that I was never happy. It was only when I learned to let go and forgive myself for my mistakes that I truly felt relaxed.
When one of your close friends or family members makes a mistake, are you quick to forgive and forget? Sadly, many of us often express more sympathy(同情) for others than ourselves. With each mistake comes a lesson, and if you can learn to let go and forgive yourself, you will be better equipped to handle life's challenges going forward.
More importantly, if you're frequently worried about looking silly, you'll never be able t o get improvement at work. Even if you make a fool of yourself, it isn't the end of the world. Think about it: what's the worst that can happen? In many cases, the reward often outweighs the risk.
