57. 答案：C

考点：细节理解

解析：题干的关键词是want to be right because，回原文定位到最后一个自然段的“Third, needing to be right”. 原文接着往下看“It doesn’t matter what the topic is –politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg - the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority –someone who actually knows something –and therefore to command respect. ”这句话虽然看起来很复杂，但在新概念的课堂上老师们反复强调阅读长难句时，如果遇到插入语可以跳过不看，这里破折号中间的内容均为插入语，将其省略，句子就会变得简单的多。又由于题干是

“for both wish to be considered an authority and therefore 对原因的提问，这里我们只用重点看for后面的内容，

to command respect”，正确答案为C。
