分析 我们可能会喜欢告诉别人我们不寻常的经历,例如,我们爬得很高的山.尝到了一种罕见的食物,或在街上遇到了一个超级明星,但新的研究表明,分享这些不寻常的经历可能在谈话中时不受欢迎的.
我们都喜欢不寻常的经历,并总是迫不及待地与我们的朋友分享他们.
人们甚至认为有一个不寻常的经历会使他们成为对话之星.
然而,这是错误的,不寻常的意思是不同于其他人,如果你不与周围的人分享你的相似之处,他们在谈话中将不欢迎你,此外,谈话似乎在常见的话题上才进行得好.
为了调查这些,心理学家邀请了68个参与者参加四组实验,每一组里,一个人看一个魔术表演的精彩视频,而其他三个人看卡通视频.观看影片后,参与者围坐在一张桌子旁,有一个简短的对话.
观看魔术表演的人说,他们谈话后,他们比那些看了卡通视频的人感觉更糟,这是因为他们觉得在谈话中感觉被遗弃了.
这一发现表明,我们可能在选择哪些经历与别人分享方面有想给出更多的想法.如果一个经历把你变成一个和别人没有什么共同语言人,那么不管它有多好,它也不会让你快乐.

55.Yes,because I want to be the star of the conversation./No,because I don't want to feel left out.推理判断题. 题干意思:你愿意把不普通的话题分享给朋友吗,为什么愿意/不愿意?这个问题答案不唯一,可以是yes,也可以是no.根据文章Some people even thought that having an unusual experience would make them the star of the conversation.人们甚至认为有一个不寻常的经历会使他们成为对话之星,可以作为yes的原因;That was because they felt left out during the conversation.这是因为他们觉得在谈话中感觉被遗弃了,这是答案no不想把不普通的话题分享给朋友的原因.

On May 23, Shenzhen introduced tough new rules in order to discourage the “Chinese style of crossing the road”. “Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd,” said a post on Sina Weibo.
A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.
Many people say that they jaywalk (乱穿马路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings for three years. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore (忽视) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.
However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules. “I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first,” someone wrote on his Weibo.
Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.
But calling on people to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.
