阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案

　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 themselves．Dr．Robert Albert, author of “Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back”, thinks it's because their self-esteem is low． “Our whole set-up is geared to make people distrust themselves, ” says Albert．“There’s always a superior around : a parent, a teacher, a boss---who knows better．　　 These superiors often gain when they ship away at your self-image．”

　But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves．They offer “Assertiveness Training”courses, “AT”for short．In the AT course 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 aggressive 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 people speak out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels．

　Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image．If someone you face is more “important” than you, you may feel less of a person．You will start to doubt your own good sense．You go by the other person’s label．But, why should you?AT says you can get to feel good about yourself．And once you do, you can learn to speak out．
