“When one of the doctors criticizes me, I get defensive. I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that I'm not wrong.” says Viola, a nurse. This is a common reaction to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism.
When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sol's reaction was to feel sorry for himself. “I had put everything I had into making that sale,” Sol says, “and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn through experience not to react like that to each failure. Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person's position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it. After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be “nothing”. “I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there,” says Sheila. “His criticism didn't really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them.” In ShellaCs case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However, that's an extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isn't worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan. 46. When Sol was-criticized by his employer, he _____.
A. argued bitterly with his employer B. was angry and gave up his job. C. was sad and self-pitying D. was sorry for what he did
47. According to the writer, you should take time to think about criticism because A. you should welcome other people's opinions
B. people may have a mistaken idea of what you did C. people may discuss it with you in depth D. you need time to understand yourself
48. When the writer says that “the best answer may be‘nothing’, he means you may decide________.
A. to argue with your boss B. to take no notice of the criticism C. you need to change your job. D. you've done nothing wrong
