For some people, the light of human attention has an unbearable brilliance. Like ivy along the dim edge of a garden, they prefer the social shadows, shunning parties, publicity and fame of any sort. Then there are the flowers of the human
arboretum
. For them, being in the view of others seems necessary for life itself. From Hollywood to fabricated prime-time reality, this spotlight-dependent species is thriving.
But what about the individuals who crave attention for more desperate reasons? Those who resort to unusual ways to get it? Lately, it seems, a dark bloom of these characters has emerged. For motives known only to themselves, they have won
notoriety
by drawing on an almost sacred well of social status: victim hood.
In early April, U.S. national news outlets tracked the disappearance of Audrey Seiler, a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Police and hundreds of concerned citizens searched for four days before Seiler was discovered. Seiler said she was kidnapped. Within hours, however, her story fell apart. Police announced that her
abduction
had been a hoax. Why would a popular student make herself disappear? Her motive remains a mystery, but perhaps it had something to do with the search parties and the news bulletins that surrounded her.
Sympathy is a powerful sentiment that can connect complete strangers. But if it’s used to manipulate, the backlash can be much more intense.
In February, at Waterbury, Connecticut, man was arrested as a result of exploiting sympathy. Edward Valentin told reporters that he had received word that his wife, serving in Iraq, had been killed in an explosion. Police said Valentin admitted the fabrication, reasoning that if people felt sorry for him maybe the military would send his wife home. Evidence, however, points elsewhere. In its extreme form, such a craving shows up in mental disorders, where sufferers may seek attention by causing themselves harm. But even when it comes with no diagnosis, a deep craving to be noticed can have a wide impact.
For these individuals, victim hood represents a "pure state of guilt-free entitlement", said psychol ogist Richard Levak, of Del Mar, California "They go from being
utterly
deprived to being utterly indulged. In today’s world…people have become more depressed and disconnected from each other. So you get people who crave affection and attention and approval. They don’t know how to ask for it and they don’t know how to get it. That leaves them vulnerable, " Levak said.
The last paragraph suggests that________.
选项
A、society has nothing to do with the extreme behavior of people
B、people who play the victim are doing what they feel is right
C、people’s deep need of attention implies psychological problems
D、people who fish for attention indulge themselves in fabricating reality
答案
D
解析
本题为段落信息题,考查最后一段的一些细节信息。通断段落可知,最后一段是心理学家对以上所提到的人们捏造事实获取关注的几个事例进行原因分析,由倒数的三句可知,其主要原因便是人们渴望关注、关爱和赞同,但不知如何获得才会编造谎言,因此D项符合要求。A项“社会与人们的一些极端行为毫无关系”,这与原文表述正好相反,因此排除。B项“人们扮演受害者是在做自己认为对的事”,最后一段并未提及扮演受害者的人内心的想法,因此排除。C项“人们对关注的深层需求说明了其心理问题”在文中未被提及,故排除。
