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、Social anxiety.
B、Excessive caution.
C、Lack of social skills.
D、Preference for solitude.
答案
A
解析
文章前半部分提到了一项实验,并介绍了实验结果:有趣的是,大多数人预计独处的体验会更愉快。然后提出问题:为什么会这样呢?紧接着做出回答:社交焦虑似乎是问题所在。人们不愿意与附近的陌生人交谈,部分原因在于低估了其他人对交流的兴趣。也就是说,人们普遍有社交焦虑,担心附近的陌生人不想和自己聊天,所以不敢主动发起一段谈话,因此选项A正确。选项B、C文中未提及,故排除;选项D是根据实验结果设置的干扰项,大多数人预计独处的体验会更愉快,其实是因为人们怕别人不愿意聊天,怕感到尴尬,并不是喜欢独处,故排除选项D。
