Question

【題目】閱讀理解。

How many times do you check your Moments or Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “l(fā)ike” or “thumbs up”?

Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, don’t worry. Psychological findings have shown it’s completely normal.

In fact, the pleasure we derive from (取自) getting a “l(fā)ike” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we can’t help wanting more.

According to the findings of the UCLA Brain Mapping Center, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反饋電路) in the teens’ brains are particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were activated when they received “l(fā)ikes” on a social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from it worked equally.

So does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible?

Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention.

In “Why do people crave (渴望) attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to reproduce these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to be eager for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.

In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple.

“If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem (自尊) but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues.

試題分析：心理學家研究證明，喜歡被“關(guān)注”這種情況完全正常，事實上，太過渴求關(guān)注會導致焦慮，甚至會在你得到關(guān)注的時候反過來破壞你的幸福感。若想戒掉我們對于”贊“的上癮，只需關(guān)注比我們自身更重要的事情，一些艱難，卻有意義的事。

【1】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一句wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues.心理學教授Jennifer Crocker在社會問題日志上寫到�？芍狣項符合題意。

【2】A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第七段中he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to reproduce these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to be eager for attention. 獨生子女們常常是其家庭關(guān)注的焦點，所以他們可能會試圖復制這種情形。當感到“被忽視或不被欣賞”時也會試圖獲取他人關(guān)注，其他諸如嫉妒，或試圖掩蓋錯誤時也會產(chǎn)生這種渴求。從這里可知：和父母生活在一起的人不會有這種自然期盼被關(guān)注。故選A。

【3】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem (自尊) but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,”“如果人們能夠不只關(guān)注自尊，而是將焦點放在比自身更大的目標上，比如能夠給別人創(chuàng)造或貢獻什么，那么他們就能減少自尊心帶來的負面影響。”故選B。

【4】C推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it.事實上，太過渴求關(guān)注會導致焦慮，甚至會在你得到關(guān)注的時候反過來破壞你的幸福感。可知作者對沉迷于“thumbs up”持批評的態(tài)度，故選C。

【名師點撥】

推理判斷題要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎(chǔ)上，做出一定的推理判斷，從而得到文章的隱含意義和深層意義。推理判斷題所涉及的內(nèi)容可能是文中的某一句話，也可能是某幾句話，所以，推理題的答案只能是根據(jù)原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即對原文某一句話或某幾句話所作的同義改寫或綜合。推理判斷題的題干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等標志性詞語。 這種題型主要包括細節(jié)判斷題、態(tài)度觀點推斷題、寫作意圖推斷題、文章出處判斷題和猜測想象推斷題。比如第30小題，B推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem (自尊) but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,”“如果人們能夠不只關(guān)注自尊，而是將焦點放在比自身更大的目標上，比如能夠給別人創(chuàng)造或貢獻什么，那么他們就能減少自尊心帶來的負面影響�！惫蔬xB。
