Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.

　　Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.

　　Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.

　　31.What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?

　　A. It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.

　　B. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.

　　C. It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.

　　D. It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.

　　32.One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______.
