What is the relationship between violence and sports? Psychologists say that there are many reasons for violence at sports events.One is alcohol.Many fans drink a lot at games.When people drink, they are more likely to do abnormal things.Psychologist Dennis Brock says, “Quiet people become loud.Normally nonviolent people become destructive.”

David Sampson, a sports sociologist, says, “These are often celebratory riots— a large number of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol.They don’t often seem dangerous in the beginning, but things get violent quickly.”

Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd.When individuals are in a large group of people, they can lose their sense of personal responsibility.Edward Hirt, a social Psychologist, says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never do alone.People in crowds feel anonymous — no one knows who they are.Crowds also make people feel powerful.They stop making personal decisions.They just follow the crowd.Social psychologists call this a “mob mentality.”

Dave Zarifis, head of public safety says, “Some people don’t even come to celebrate.They want to drink hard and make trouble.Someone does something stupid, and it grows from there.You get a mob mentality.People think it’s OK to do almost anything.They think, ‘There are so many of us and not enough of them.’ ”

       Social psychologist Dr.Sharon Kennedy says that there are some things officials can do to prevent violence.Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is very important.Officials should also think of games as “big parties.” Then they will prepare differently.Kennedy says that in Great Britain they are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums.“When you know someone is watching, you are much less likely to behave badly.”

阅读下面短文,并根据要求完成文章后的题目。

The need for love is deeply rooted in the human psyche(精神,心灵).Love is a way of overcoming the feeling of human separateness.Separateness, according to psychologists, means to be cut off, helpless and alone in the world.It is the source of all anxiety.

                   .It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving.Abraham Maslow distinguishes between two kinds of love: B-love and D-love.B-love or “being-love” means love for another person: an unselfish love not dependent upon your own needs.D-love or “deficiency-love” is a selfish possessive love which is based upon someone else’s ability to satisfy your needs.

D-love is conditional: it depends upon whether personal needs continue to be met….But B-love is unconditional: it depends not upon what you do, but upon who

you areFurthermore, as it depends on who you are, it is possible only when you allow yourself to be known to the other person.

The psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguishes between two types of love, namely, immature love, called by him symbiotic union(共生体), and mature love.Symbiotic union is an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs and is similar to Maslow’s concept of D-love.

Mature love, on the other hand, is a relationship that allows individuals to retain (保持) their independence, their identity, and their integrity.In mature love people can overcome their sense of separateness yet continue to be themselves.The immature lover would say, “I love you because I need you.” the mature one: “I need you because I love you.”
