问题     Humans are unique in the extent to which they can reflect on themselves and others. Humans are able to【C1】______. to think in abstract terms, to reflect on the future. A meaningless,【C2】______world is an insecure world. We do not like extensive insecurity. When it【C3】______to human behavior we infer meaning and【C4】______to make the behavior understandable.
    【C5】______all this means is that people develop "quasi theories" of human behavior, that is, theories that are not developed in a(an) 【C6】______, scientific manner. When doing so, people believe they know【C7】______humans do the things they do.
    Let’s consider an example. In the United States people have been【C8】______with the increasing amount of crime for several years. The extent of crime bothers us; we ourselves could be victims. But it【C9】______bothers us that people behave in such ways. Why can such things happen? We develop quasi theories. We【C10】______concerned about the high crime rate, but we now believe we【C11】______it: our criminal justice system is【C12】______; people have grown selfish and inconsiderate as our moral values weaken【C13】______the influence of liberal ideas; too many people are【C14】______drugs. These explanations suggest possible solutions.【C15】______the courts; put more people in jail as examples to other lawbreaker. There is now hope that the problem of crime can be solved if only we【C16】______these solutions. Again, the world is no longer meaningless nor【C17】______so threatening. These quasi theories【C18】______serve a very important function for us. But how accurate are they? How【C19】______will the suggested solutions be? These questions must be answered with【C20】______to how people normally go about developing or attaining their quasi theories of human behavior.
【C13】
