根据以下资料回答:
  Since ancient times it has been known that your word is a cause set in motion. In fact, the unierse itself is claimed to have emanated from a single primordial sound. In the science of yoga, it is believed that certain Sanskrit words, known as mantras, can bring about magical results, thus you can secure abundance with a certain mantra, peace with another, and so on. On a more practical level, your word still remains highlypotent.
  With your words, you can wound someone, sending them into spirals of defeat, and with your words you can heal someone, raising them up from a dismal place to soaring hope and motivation. In fact, the entire field of self-improvement is the transmission of words that will assist others to get a firm perspective and move forward with their lives, fulfilling their dreams and desires.
  On a personal level, too, your words affect you. What you say to yourself about anyone or anything affects you, too. If you speak well of someone or something, you bring more of that harmony into your life. And if you speak ill of someone or something, you bring more of that frustration and anger and conflict into your life.
  Psychological literature often speaks of numerous cases where a parent's words, spoken casually, can affect the destiny of a child. And the most potent words that a parent can use to affect a child are those spoken at the time of dying since these are the last words, and the moment is so highly-charged and the awareness so acute, these words become an imperative that the child now feels obligated to never disown.
  Words are further charged with the emotion behind them. The stronger the emotion, the more highly charged the words. Many a love affair has fallen by the wayside because of emotionally charged words, which are later regretted.
  Despite all this, people use words with the utmost casualness. People wreck their own lives and that of others through the careless use of words. They also accept the words of others as a given truth, when, in fact, all comments by others are merely opinion.
  The most marvelous aspect of words is how they can bend time. The brilliantly crafted words of Shakespeare or the eloquence of Martin Luther King still shape our lives. Words are so sacred that whole buildings are used to archive them and make them available for reading.
  A person can rise from poverty to wealth, from sickness to health, and from loneliness to loving companionship simply through exposing themselves to the most beneficial stream of words.
  Words not only steal hearts, but shape reality as well. The earth can be a better place because of your choice of words. You can fill lives with the miracles of your words. You can be an agent for positive change and bring out the best in yourself and others simply by how you use words. Words are psychic shape-shiflers; use them wisely.

参考答案B
解析:结构分析
第一段提出中心论点:语言有很强大的影响力。
第二段和第三段指出语言可以伤害其他人,也可以鼓励其他人。你对其他人说的话对自己也有影响。你说其他人好话,你的生活会变得更和谐,你说其他人坏话,你的生活将会充满矛盾和冲突。    
第四段指出父母的话对孩子有着深远的影响。尤其是父母的临终遗言,将会使子女终生难忘。
第五段和第六段提出语言还受心情的影响。人们经常在不经意间说错话,伤害了其他人。
第七段指出语言最神奇之处就是它可以穿越时间的界限,古人说的话仍然可以影响到我们现代人的思想。
第八段指出语言有能力让我们从穷变富,从疾病到健康,从单身到有情人相伴。
最后一段总结:聪明地使用语言,这个世界会充满更多的奇迹。
B。本题的出题点在中心句式处。根据题于信息,可将答案锁定在文章第一段第一句话,作者在随后的几个句子中用例子作出了解释:据说宇宙就是由原始的声音形成的;瑜伽中的Sanskrit语,可以起到神奇的作用。可见话语会对其他事物产生巨大的影响,故8正确。A、c两项与题干无关,故排除;D项说的是话语会产生好的和坏的结果,这在文章第一段中并未提及,也可排除。
