题目内容
1.We might love to tell others about our unusual experiences.For example,we climbed a highmountain,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 68participants(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.
53.What kind of topic can make conversations go well?Usual topics
54.Why did psychologists do such an experiment(实验)?Because they want to find out if usual topics can make conversations go well
55.Would you like to share your unusual experiences with your friends?Why or why not?.Yes,because I want to be the star of the conversation./No,because I don't want to feel left out..
分析 我们可能会喜欢告诉别人我们不寻常的经历,例如,我们爬得很高的山.尝到了一种罕见的食物,或在街上遇到了一个超级明星,但新的研究表明,分享这些不寻常的经历可能在谈话中时不受欢迎的.
我们都喜欢不寻常的经历,并总是迫不及待地与我们的朋友分享他们.
人们甚至认为有一个不寻常的经历会使他们成为对话之星.
然而,这是错误的,不寻常的意思是不同于其他人,如果你不与周围的人分享你的相似之处,他们在谈话中将不欢迎你,此外,谈话似乎在常见的话题上才进行得好.
为了调查这些,心理学家邀请了68个参与者参加四组实验,每一组里,一个人看一个魔术表演的精彩视频,而其他三个人看卡通视频.观看影片后,参与者围坐在一张桌子旁,有一个简短的对话.
观看魔术表演的人说,他们谈话后,他们比那些看了卡通视频的人感觉更糟,这是因为他们觉得在谈话中感觉被遗弃了.
这一发现表明,我们可能在选择哪些经历与别人分享方面有想给出更多的想法.如果一个经历把你变成一个和别人没有什么共同语言人,那么不管它有多好,它也不会让你快乐.
解答 53.Usual topics.细节理解题.结合题干意思:哪种话题使对话进行的好:根据文章Besides,conversations always seem to go well on more usual topics.此外,谈话似乎在常见的话题上才进行得好.可知在常见的话题上对话进行的好,故答案为:Usual topics.
54.Because they want to find out if usual topics can make conversations go well.细节理解题.结合题干意思:为什么心理学家要做这个实验?用why提问的句子必须用because回答,根据文章Besides,conversations always seem to go well on more usual topics.此外,谈话似乎在常见的话题上才进行得好.这是作者提出的一个观点,下一句To find out,psychologists(心理学家)invited 68participants(参与者)to come to the lab in groups of four为了调查这些,心理学家邀请了68个参与者参加四组实验,就是为了证明提出的观点,即:为什么谈话似乎在常见的话题上才进行得好,故答案为:Because they want to find out if usual topics can make conversations go well 因为他们想要证明为什么常见的话题使对话进行的好.
55.Yes,because I want to be the star of the conversation./No,because I don't want to feel left out.推理判断题. 题干意思:你愿意把不普通的话题分享给朋友吗,为什么愿意/不愿意?这个问题答案不唯一,可以是yes,也可以是no.根据文章Some people even thought that having an unusual experience would make them the star of the conversation.人们甚至认为有一个不寻常的经历会使他们成为对话之星,可以作为yes的原因;That was because they felt left out during the conversation.这是因为他们觉得在谈话中感觉被遗弃了,这是答案no不想把不普通的话题分享给朋友的原因.
