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.
Which of the following would be the author’s attitude toward introvert?
选项
A、skeptical
B、positive
C、negative
D、disgusted
答案
B
解析
本题为主旨题,根据题文同序原则,可将答案定位到最后一段。该段最后一句表 示“我们有些最伟大的思想、艺术和发明都来自于安静而有理性的人,他们知道如何进入自 己的内心世界并从中挖掘宝藏”。由此可知,作者对内向的态度是积极而赞赏的。故B项“积 极的”符合题意。A项“怀疑的”、C项“消极的”和D项“厌恶的”均不符合题意。故选B。
