In today’s personality stakes, nothing is more highly valued than a sense of humor. We seek it out in others and are proud to claim it in ourselves, perhaps even more than good looks or intelligence. If someone has a great sense of humor, we reason, it means that they are happy, socially confident and have a healthy perspective on life.
This attitude would have surprised the ancient Greeks, who believed humor to be essentially aggressive. And in fact, our admiration for the comically gifted is relatively new, and not very well-founded, says Rod Martin, a psychologist at the University of Western Ontario. Being funny isn’t necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being, his research has shown. It may just as likely be a sign of personality flaws.
He has found that humor is a double-edged sword. It can forge better relationships and help you cope with life, or it can be corrosive, eating away at self-esteem and irritating others. "It’s a form of communication, like speech, and we all use it differently," says Martin. We use bonding humor to enhance our social connections, but we also may employ it as a way of excluding or rejecting an outsider.
Though humor is essentially social, how you use it says a lot about your sense of self. Those who use self-defeating humor, making fun of themselves for the enjoyment of others, tend to maintain that hostility toward themselves even when alone. Similarly, those who are able to view the world with amused tolerance are often equally forgiving of their own shortcomings.
9. How do people today view humor according to the speaker?
10. What did the ancient Greeks think of humor?
11. What has psychologist Rod Martin found about humor?
选项
A、It is a double-edged sword.
B、It is a feature of a given culture.
C、It is a unique gift of human beings.
D、It is a result of both nature and nurture.
答案
A
解析
录音讲到,Rod Martin发现幽默是把双刃剑,选项A复现了原文信息,为本题答案。B项“它是某一特定文化的特征”、C项“它是人类的独特天赋”及D项“它是自然与文化的双重结果”都没有原文依据,均予以排除。该短文三个问题涉及了三种人对幽默的看法,听录音时遇到多个人对某事物做出评价时,这往往是考点,要注意做相关笔记并加以区分,排除干扰。
