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 was self-defeating.
B、It was aggressive.
C、It was the essence of comedy.
D、It was something admirable.
答案
B
解析
录音在讲完现在人们对幽默的看法后,就提到了古希腊人的看法,他们认为幽默在本质上具有攻击性。选项B复现了原文信息,为本题答案。A项中的self-defeating“适得其反的”在录音末尾有提及,但这不是古希腊人的看法,故排除;C项中的comedy是利用原文的comically制造干扰,录音并没有提到幽默是the essence of comedy;录音提到,人类对有幽默天赋的赞赏是相对新潮的,可见古时候的希腊人并不赞赏幽默,选项D“它是值得赞扬的东西”与文意相悖。
