To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself．"Anger"，says Pythagoras，"brings with folly （愚蠢） and ends with regret．"You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers，not by the power of those which conquer him．

分析 本文介绍了自控力在人生中的重要性．
解答 25：B 推理题：根据第一段最后一句"Let a man give in to his impulses （冲动） and feelings，and from that moment he gives up his moral （道德上的） freedom"如果一个人被情感和冲动所支配，那么他就放弃了道德上的自由，由此可知一个人的道德自由就是建立在自控的基础上．故选B．
26：B 推理题：根据第二段中"Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad"上帝若想毁灭一个人，必先使其发狂，以及最后一句"for fierceness （狂怒） makes error a fault"狂怒会导致错误，可知如果你总是脾气失控了，会带来自身的灭亡．故选C．
27：C 推理题：根据文章最后一段内容可知当人失控时，提到了no patience，no power to govern himself，no selfconfidence，缺少the very backbone and nerve of character，因为他总是被强烈的感情（strong feelings）控制的．故选D．
28：A 主旨大意题．文章主要讲述了自控力在人生的重要性，是人们自我成功的重要因素．故选A．
