The term "Follow your passion" has increased ninefold in English books since 1990. "Find something you love to do and you’ll never have to work a day in your life" is another college-counseling standby of unknown provenance. But according to Carol Dweck, a psychology professor at Stanford University, that advice is steering people wrong.
"What are the consequences of that?" asked Paul O’Keefe, an assistant professor of psychology at Yale-NUS College. "That means that if you do something that feels like work, it means you don’t love it." He gave me the example of a student who jumps from lab to lab, trying to find one whose research topic feels like her passion. "It’s this idea that if I’m not completely overwhelmed by emotion when I walk into a lab, then it won’t be my passion or my interest."
That’s why he and two co-authors — Dweck and Greg Walton of Stanford — recently performed a study that suggests it might be time to change the way we think about our interests. Passions aren’t "found," they argue. They’re developed.
In a paper that is forthcoming in Psychological Science, the authors describe the difference between the two mind-sets. One is a "fixed theory of interests" — the idea that core interests are there from birth, just waiting to be discovered — and the other is a "growth theory," the idea that interests are something anyone can cultivate over time.
To examine how these different mind-sets affect our pursuit of different topics, the authors performed a series of studies on college students — a group that’s frequently advised to find their passion in the form of a major or career path.
First, students answered a survey that would categorize them as either "techy" — slang for interested in math and science —or "fuzzy," meaning interested in the arts or humanities. They also filled out a survey determining how much they agreed with the idea that people’s core interests don’t change over time. They then read an article that mismatched their interests — a piece on the future of algorithms for the fuzzies, and a piece on Derrida for the techies. The more the participants favoring a "fixed" theory of interests, the less interested they were in the article that mismatched their aforementioned identity as a techy or fuzzy.
The authors believe this could mean that students who have fixed theories of interest might give up interesting lectures or opportunities because they don’t in line with their previously stated passions. Or that they might overlook ways that other disciplines can intersect with their own.
According to Paragraph 6, the survey showed that the participants who agreed the fixed theory of interests were______.
选项
A、particularly passionate to math and science
B、keen to the arts or humanities
C、less interested in mismatched article
D、reluctant to find their passion
答案
C
解析
题干问:根据第六段,调查显示认同兴趣固定论的参与者______。可定位到第六段最后一句:The more the participants favoring a“fixed”theory of interests,the less interested they were in the article that mismatched their aforementioned identity as a techy or fuzzy.(参与者越支持“兴趣固定论”,他们对于跟他们之前所认定的一个理科类型或者文科类型的人身份所不匹配的文章就越没有兴趣。)只有选项[C]与之对应,故为答案。
