In our contemporary culture, the prospect of communicating with—or even looking at—a stranger is virtually unbearable. Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they fiddle with their phones, even without a【C1】______underground.
It’s a sad reality—our desire to avoid interacting with other human beings—because there’s【C2】______to be gained from talking to the stranger standing by you. But you wouldn’t know it, 【C3】______into your phone. This universal armor sends the【C4】______; "Please don’t approach me. "
What is it that makes us feel we need to hide【C5】______our screens?
One answer is fear, according to Jon Wortmann, executive mental coach. We fear rejection, or that our innocent social advances will be【C6】______as "creepy. " We fear we’ll be【C7】______. We fear we’ll be disruptive. Strangers are inherently【C8】______to us, so we are more likely to feel【C9】______when communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances. To avoid this anxiety, we【C10】______to our phones. "Phones become our security blanket," Wortmann says. "They are our happy glasses that protect us from what we perceive is going to be more【C11】______. "
But once we rip off the bandaid, tuck our smartphones in our pockets and look up, it doesn’t 【C12】______so bad. In one 2011 experiment, behavioral scientists Nicholas Epley and Juliana Schroeder asked commuters to do the unthinkable: Start a【C13】______. They had Chicago train commuters talk to their fellow【C14】______. " When Dr. Epley and Ms. Schroeder asked other people in the same train station to【C15】______how they would feel after talking to a stranger, the commuters thought their【C16】______would be more pleasant if they sat on their own," The New York Times summarizes. Though the participants didn’t expect a positive experience, after they【C17】______with the experiment, "not a single person reported having been snubbed. "
【C18】______, these commuters were reportedly more enjoyable compared with those sans communication, which makes absolute sense, 【C19】______human beings thrive off of social connections. It’s that【C20】______: Talking to strangers can make you feel connected. [br] 【C16】
选项
A、voyage
B、flight
C、walk
D、ride
答案
D
解析
由空格附近信息可知,缺省的地方应为与“commuters”相关的词。选项A意为“航海,旅行,远行”,选项B意为“航班”,选项C意为“步行”,都不符合此处句意。D项意为“乘坐汽车等的短途旅行”,放在此处符合文意,所以D项是正确答案。
