People 28 high self-esteem are not hurt by criticism; they do not 29 criticism as personal rejection. 30 , they tend to believe criticism to be suggestion for improvement.
答案：(D) regard
【句型】regard A as B 是字詞搭配，表示「把 A 視為 B」，符合「不把批評視為人身拒絕」的語意。like／look／watch 都沒有「視為」這種字詞搭配用法。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
四個選項都與「看」有關，中文是「喜歡、看、注視、認為」，如果沒注意到後面那個 as，很容易在 look 與 watch 之間猶豫。
先看空格後面：criticism as personal rejection——受詞後面接了一個 as。這個 as 是決定性的線索：能走「動詞 ＋ 受詞 ＋ as ＋ 補語」這個句型、意思是「把 A 視為 B」的，是 regard。整句是 they do not regard criticism as personal rejection（他們不把批評視為對自己的否定）。這一組「視為」的說法值得整批記起來，它們的句型完全相同：regard A as B、see A as B、view A as B、think of A as B、look on A as B。注意 look 要接 on 才行，單獨的 look 進不來。
look：要寫成 look on A as B 才成立，而本句空格後面直接接受詞，少了 on。watch（觀看）、like（喜歡）：兩個都沒有「視為」這個用法，後面也接不了 as ＋ 補語。
regard A as B（把 A 視為 B）、think of A as B（把 A 想成 B）、look on A as B（把 A 看作 B）、be regarded as（被視為）、personal rejection（人身的否定）、take sth personally（把某事往心裡去）。
