Today we ’re told that to be great is to be bold, to be happy is to be sociable. In fact, one-third to one-half of Americans are introverts. If you’re not an introvert yourself, you are surely raising, managing, married to, or coupled with one.
If these statistics surprise you, that’ s probably because so many people pretend to be extroverts. Some fool even themselves, until some life event jolts them into taking stock of their true natures. You have only to raise this subject with your friends and acquaintances to find that the most unlikely people consider themselves introverts.
It makes sense that so many introverts hide even from themselves. We live with a value system that I call the Extrovert Ideal. The archetypal extrovert works well in teams and socializes in groups. We like to think that we value individuality, but all too often we admire one type of individual—the kind who’s comfortable "putting himself out there". Sure, we allow technologically gifted loners who launch companies in garages to have any personality they please, but they are the exceptions, not the rule, and our tolerance extends mainly to those who get fabulously wealthy or hold the promise of doing so.
Introversion—along with its cousins sensitivity, seriousness, and shyness—is now a second-class personality trait, somewhere between a disappointment and a
pathology
. Introverts living under the Extrovert Ideal are discounted because of a trait that goes to the core of who they are.
Extroversion is an enormously appealing personality style, but we’ve turned it into an oppressive standard to which most of us feel we must conform.
The Extrovert Ideal has been documented in many studies, though this research has never been grouped under a single name. Talk active people, for example, are rated as smarter, better-looking, more interesting, and more desirable as friends. We rank fast talkers as more competent and likable than slow ones. Even the word introvert is stigmatized—one informal study, by psychologist Laurie Helgoe, found that introverts described their own physical appearance in vivid language, but when asked to describe generic introverts they drew a bland and distasteful picture.
But we make a grave mistake to embrace the Extrovert Ideal so unthinkingly. Some of our greatest ideas, art, and inventions came from quiet and cerebral people who knew how to tune in to their inner worlds and the treasures to be found there.
Many introverts hide their real character because of the following EXCEPT______.
选项
A、we are living in an Extrovert Ideal society
B、both teamwork and social activities are suited to the extrovert
C、people only accept one kind of individual—the extrovert
D、gifted loners could be tolerated because of their wealth
答案
C
解析
由题干关键词定位到文章第三段,由第二句we live with a value system that I called the Extrovert Ideal可知,A项“我们生活在一个外向理想化社会”符合文意。B项“团队协作 和社交活动都适合性格外向的人”与该段第三句表述一致。D项“因为他们富有,天才的孤 独者可以被容忍”符合该段最后一句。C项意为“人们只接受一种人——外向的人”,而原文 提到人们可以接受那些有技术天赋,可以白手起家的孤僻天才,他们拥有任意适合他们的 个性,与该句并不相符。故选C。
