We might love to tell others about our unusual experiences. For example, we climbed a high

mountain, tasted a rare food, or ran into a superstar on the street. But new research suggests that sharing these unusual experiences may not be welcomed in conversation.

We all like unusual experiences, and always can't wait to share them with our friends. Some people even thought that having an unusual experience would make them the star of the conversation.

However, it was wrong. To be unusual means to be different from other people. And if you do not share similarities with the people around you, they will not welcome you in the conversation. Besides, conversations always seem to go well on more usual topics.

To find out, psychologists(心理学家)invited 68 participants(参与者)to come to the lab in groups of four. In each group, one watched a wonderful video of a magic performance, while the other three watched a cartoon video. After watching the videos, the participants sat around a table and had a short conversation.

The participants who watched the magic performance said they felt worse after the conversation than those who watched the cartoon video. That was because they felt left out during the conversation.

This finding suggests that we might want to give more thought in choosing which experiences to share with others. If an experience turns you into someone who has nothing in common with others, then no matter how good it was, it will not make you happy.

1. What kind of topic can make conversations go well?

2. Why did psychologists do such an experiment(实验)?

3.Would you like to share your unusual experiences with your friends? Why or why not?

Once we climbed a very high mountain.It was so challenging(挑战性)for me because 1 was only ten years old.During the first few hours of climbing,I enjoyed the flowers and trees,and the birds’singing,but as time passed,I hated it at that moment.“Only there at the top,can you see au of the nice things,just like in life.”My father said to me,“You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain,but you can't see it before you reach the top”.

At that time,1 was too young to understand his words.But later after that.I got new hope and confidence(信心).I found myself standing at the top of the mountain.And there,I could see the whole of the sky,which was as clear as crystal(水晶).
