专题限时集训(十八)　推理判断题(一) A (2016·南通第一次调研)bout two paths diverging(分开) in a wood—is the most popular in modern history.Yet people still cant agree what it means.On the surface－magnet cliché (陈词滥调) on the importance of taking risks and choosing the road less travelled.But many argue it slyly mocks(暗讽) that American belief in the individuals power to determine his or her future.After all－travelled.And how could he be sure he took the right one？Hell never know where the other leads.Looking back at our life histories(跌跌撞撞地走) mapless among the treeshologists，Karalyn Enz and Jennifer Talarico，throw light on these matters in a new study with a title that nods to Frost: Forks In The Road.They sought to clarify how people think about “turning points” versus “transitions” in life.A turning point，by their definition，is a moment that changes your future—deciding to leave a job or marriage，say—but often isnt visible from the outside，at least at first. “Transitions” involve big external changes: going to university，marrying，emigrating(迁出)．Sometimes the two go together(“New Yorkers are born all over the country，” Delia Ephron said，“and then they come to New York and it hits them: oh，thats who I am.”) But its turning points we remember as most significant，Enz and Talarico conclude，whether or not they also involve transitions. The distinction is useful: it underlines how the most outwardly obvious life changes arent always those with the biggest impact.Hence the famous “focusing illusion”，which describes how we exaggerate (夸大) the importance of a single factor on happiness: you switch jobsnt that happens because your circumstances dont change, when your old life stops feeling meaningful.Turning points can be caused by mundane(世俗的) things—the offhand remark that makes you realize youre in the wrong life—or by nothing at all.诗人罗伯特·弗罗斯特的《未选择的路》展现了现实生活中人们处在十字路口时难以抉择的心情。在诗中诗人选择了一条人迹稀少、布满荆棘的道路在做出抉择后同时又遗憾“鱼和熊掌不可兼得1．Why do some people think the poem makes fun of the American belief?
