Some diseases are infectious—like colds and flu But what about loneliness? Loneliness may not be a disease, at least not in the same way that flu is. But loneliness can be infectious.
Actually, many emotions can be infectious. Being around someone who’s really happy can put you in a good mood. While hanging around someone who’s depressed can be depressing.
The same goes for loneliness. According to one study, the average person feels lonely about forty-eight days per year. Having a lonely friend adds around seventeen extra days of lonely feelings.
Following more than five-thousand people for ten years, the study observed how loneliness can spread through a group. Lonely people, it seems, transmit their sad, lonely feelings to people around them. What happens, according to the study, is that interacting with a lonely person can leave you with a negative feeling toward friendship generally. And so you’re more likely to have negative experiences with other friends, weakening social bonds. If loneliness is allowed to spread unchecked, it can destroy a social network.
The best way to ward off this sort of lonely infection is to pay more attention to people on the edges of a group. Reaching out to those who are shy or don’t fit in, and are therefore lonely, can make them feel less alone. And so they’re less likely to spread lonely feelings throughout the group.
23 How will you feel when being around someone who’s really happy?
24 What will happen if loneliness spreads unchecked?
25 What is the best way to avoid the lonely infection?
选项
A、Transmit happy feelings to others.
B、Reach out to people who need help.
C、Pay more attention to lonely people.
D、Interact with a happy person frequently.
答案
C
解析
短文末尾提到,避免这种寂寞传染最好的方式就是将更多的注意力放在处于寂寞边缘的人群身上。原文的people on the edges of a group实际指的就是lonely people,C与原文表述一致,故为答案。
