Research shows that a few moments of conversation with a stranger create a measurable improvement in mood. But most of us are reluctant to start these conversations because we presume the opposite. In an experiment, commuters who talked to nearby strangers found their commute more enjoyable than those who didn’t. They were asked to predict whether they’d enjoy the commute more if they conversed with other people. Intriguingly, most expected the more solitary experience to be more pleasurable. Why is this? Social anxiety appears to be the problem. People’s reluctance to start conversations with nearby strangers comes partly from underestimating others’ interest in connecting.
The sad thing is that people presume that a nearby stranger doesn’t want to converse and don’t start a conversation. Only those who forced themselves to chat because it was required by the experiment found out what a pleasant experience it could be. Human beings are social animals. Those who misunderstand the impact of social interactions may not, in some contexts, be social enough for their own well-being. You should be chatting with the strangers you encounter. You may occasionally have a negative encounter that might stick in your memory. This is because the human brain is biased to dwell on negative events. But starting conversations with strangers is still well worth the risk of rejection.
It may surprise you that conversing with strangers will make them happier too. The pleasure of connection seems contagious. People who were talked to had equally positive experiences as those who initiate a conversation.
12.What does research show about a conversation between strangers?
13.What prevents people from starting a conversation with strangers?
14.Why does a negative encounter with strangers stick in one’s memory?
15.What does the passage say the pleasure of connection seems to be?
选项
A、It often occurs among commuters.
B、It promotes mutual understanding.
C、It improves their mood considerably.
D、It takes a great deal of effort to sustain.
答案
C
解析
文章开头即提到一项研究结果:与陌生人交谈片刻能够显著改善情绪。因此选项C正确,其中的improves对应文中的名词improvement,considerably对应文中的形容词measurable(显著的),mood为原词重现。文中提到一项实验是在通勤者中进行的,但并未提及通勤者经常与陌生人谈话,而且选项A也不是研究结果,故排除该项;选项B、D文中未提及,故均排除。
