Psychologist: In a survey, several hundred volunteers rated their own levels of self-control and their overall life satisfaction. The volunteers who rated themselves as having better self- control also reported greater satisfaction with their lives. This suggests that self-control is one factor that helps people avoid situations likely to produce dissatisfaction.
In order to assess the strength of the psychologist’s argument, it would be most helpful to know whether
people typically rate themselves as having significantly better self-control than expert psychological assessments would rate them as having
people's perceptions of how satisfied they are with their lives could be affected by factors of which they are unaware
there is a high level of self-control that tends to reduce overall life satisfaction
people's ratings of their overall satisfaction with their lives tend to temporarily decrease in situations likely to produce dissatisfaction
feelings of dissatisfaction significantly interfere with people’s ability to exercise self-control
原文：几百个志愿者，其中，认为自己自我控制程度更高的人，生活满意度也更高。这说明自我控制是能减少生活不满意的一个因素。
加强：
A：人们对自己自我控制能力的评价 往往比 心理专家对他们的自我控制能力 更高 （无关）
B：生活满意度会受到别的，他们没意识到的因素的影响 （削弱）
C：高程度的自我控制会减少生活满意度 （削弱）
D：生活满意度 在会出现不满意的情境下 会短暂下降 （无关）
E：对生活的不满情绪会显著影响自我控制的能力 （同增长）
结论：【self-control】 is one factor that helps people avoid situations likely to produce 【dissatisfaction】
E：feelings of 【dissatisfaction】 significantly interfere with people’s ability to exercise【self-control】
要从这个问题先看出来是一个相关因果关系的问题，涉及到两个因素变化的东西要确定因果
A. --> This suggests that the self-ascribed levels of self-control of the participants in the survey may have been exaggerated. This weakens the psychologists' conclusion without completely invalidating this evidence.
E --> Suppose E were correct; feelings of dissatisfaction make effective self-control less likely. --> Self-control is the effect rather than the cause of feelings of satisfaction.
讨论self control 和 satisfaction的关系并评估，与其他因素没有关系
看完文章觉得a和b同时发生了，然后作者就说a和b正相关，我需要证据告诉我a是否帮助或者阻碍B。也就是自我控制和自我满意是不是相互促进的关系。e说自我不满意阻碍自我控制，也就是自我满意不阻碍甚至促进自我控制，相关性得到确认，
E因果倒置
B错在原文没有否定其他因素的影响，结论中说 self-control is ONE factor
错选D，ratings和self control没啥关系
问的是自律是否有助于避开不满。
只有e 提到了dissatisfaction和self control 的关系
C，自律减少满意--》自律减少了不满的反面，并不能说明自律是会增加不满还是会减少不满
D，不满的rating和不满的关系，没自律啥事
E，不满阻碍了自律--》意思是因为不满，所以不自律，而不是因为自律，所以必考不满。给了另一个方向的因果。
只有e 提到了dissatisfaction和self control 的关系
因果倒置
feelings of dissatisfaction make effective self-control less likely. This is compatible with the correlation between self-control and feelings of satisfaction—but also strongly suggests that self-control is the effect rather than the cause of feelings of satisfaction.
