What is the main topic of the passage? [br]
My teenage son recently informed me that there is an Internet quiz to test oneself for narcissism. His friend had just taken it. "How did it turn out", I asked. "He says he did great!" my son responded. "He got the maximum score!"
When I was a child, no one outside the mental health profession talked about narcissism. People were more concerned by inadequate self-esteem, which at the time was thought to lurk behind nearly every issue. Like so many excesses of the 1970s, the self-love cult spun out of control and is now rampaging through our culture like Godzilla through Tokyo.
A 2010 study in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science found that the proportion of college students exhibiting narcissistic personality traits—based on their scores on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, a widely used diagnostic test—has increased by more than half since the early 1980s, to 30 percent.
In their book, The Narcissism Epidemic, psychology professors show that narcissism has increased as quickly as obesity has since the 1980s. Even our egos are getting fat. This is a costly problem, they wrote. While full-blown narcissists often report high levels of personal satisfaction, they create havoc and misery around them. The book points out that there is overwhelming evidence linking narcissism with reduced honesty and increased aggression. It’s notable for occasions like Valentine’s Day that narcissists struggle to stay committed to romantic partners, in no small part because they find themselves superior.
The full-blown narcissist might reply, "So what", but narcissism isn’t an either-or characteristic. It’s more of a set of progressive symptoms (like alcoholism) than an identifiable state (like diabetes). Millions of Americans exhibit symptoms, but still have a conscience and a hunger for moral improvement. At the very least, they really do not want to be terrible people.
A healthy self-love that leads to true happiness builds up one’s intrinsic well-being, as opposed to feeding shallow cravings to be admired. Cultivating amour de soi requires being fully alive at this moment, as opposed to being virtually alive while wondering what others think. The soulful connection with another person, the enjoyment of a beautiful hike alone, or a prayer of thanks over your sleeping child could be considered expressions of self-love.
选项
A、It is a phenomenon going wild like Godzilla through Tokyo.
B、It is more evident in college students nowadays than in the past.
C、It can be qualitatively measured by a diagnostic test.
D、It covered 30 percent of college students in the early 1980s.
答案
B
解析
特定信息的找寻与判断。本题所问为2010年的研究所涉内容,选项A为上文的表述,不在此范围内,该选项错误。根据原文可知,该研究通过一个测试得到大学生自恋方面的分数,从而得出结论,展现出自恋特征的大学生的比例为30%,比20世纪80年代上涨了超过一半。选项B中自恋现象在现在的大学生中比过去更为明显,归纳合理。文章并未表示该测试可以为自恋定性,在下文相关论述中也有提示,自恋无法定性,选项C不正确。选项D中30%为现在的情况,而非20世纪80年代,该选项错误。故本题答案为选项B。
(1) 根据关键词,找准题干所标记的区间,排除干扰项。
(2) 捕捉细节信息,准确判断所述内容。
(3) 理解语义,合理归纳。
