历年GRE考试Issue题库分析与提纲三十五
234. "Most people prefer restrictions and regulations to absolute freedom of choice, although they would probably deny such a preference."大多数人更喜欢约束和规则，而不是绝对自由的选择权，尽管他们可能会否认这样的倾向。
1. History informs us that attempts to quell basic individuals freedoms—of expression, of opinion and belief, and to come and go as we please—invariably fail; however, reasonable constraints on freedom are needed to protect freedom—and to prevent a society from devolving into a state of anarchy where life is short and brutish.
2. Our preference for constraining our own freedom of choice is evident on societal level as well as on individual level.

235. "Most people are taught that loyalty is a virtue. But loyalty--whether to one’s friends, to one’s school or place of employment, or to any institution--is all too often a destructive rather than a positive force."
大多数人被告知忠诚是一种美德。但是无论是对朋友、对学校、对单位还是对任何机构，忠诚时常都是弊大于利的。
1. First consider the ways in which loyalty, if exercised in proper measure and direction, can be a positive force.
2. On the other hand, if misguided or overextended loyalty can amount to divisive and destructive force.

236. "Encouraging young people to believe that they can accomplish great things if they try hard enough is both misleading and potentially harmful."
鼓励年轻人们相信只要他们努力就能够完成伟大的事情，这样做不仅仅是在误导而且存在着潜在的危害性。
Encouraging young people to believe that they can accomplish great things does more good than harm to them.
1. No one knows much he or she can achieve before trying.
2. Encouraging young people to believe that they can accomplish great things gives them confidence, which helps to bring out their potential.
3. Some of them may finally get frustrated because not every one can accomplish great things; however, every one will make progress through doing their best.
