If this weekend is yawning ahead of you, offering nothing but the same old routines and household duties, then don’t despair: boredom is good for you, a new study claims.
Far from【C1】________the mind and leading to a lack of productivity, boredom can【C2】________people to seek out ways of being selfless and to engage in prosocial tasks,【C3】________uneasy ones such as giving blood. "Bored people feel that their actions are【C4】________and so they are motivated to engage in meaningful behavior," said Wynand van Tilburg, co-author of the paper, A Pragmatic Meaning—Regulation Hypothesis on Boredom and Prosocial Behavior. If prosocial behavior【C5】________this requirement, boredom promotes prosocial behavior.
" Investigating the link between boredom and prosocial behavior is not only highly【C6】________but also counter-intuitive," said Van Tilburg, "Past research has【C7】________boredom almost exclusively with disgusting correlates,【C8】________closer inspection suggests a much richer【C9】________of potential consequences that may well go beyond merely negative outcomes, such as prosocial behavior. Boredom makes people【C10】________different and purposeful activities, and as a result they turn towards more challenging and meaningful activities, turning towards what they【C11】________to be really meaningful in life. Of course, this does not mean that boredom is necessary for prosocial behavior. It is one positive【C12】________of an utterly negative experience, demonstrating the【C13】________character of how people attempt to re-establish a【C14】________of meaningfulness."
The paper has been【C15】________by Adrian Savage, an editor at the online life coach site. "Being bored turns your mind【C16】________and encourages reflection. When you’re rushing【C17】________, there’s no time to think. When you’re bored, there’s nothing else to do but think," he said. "Boredom is nearly always【C18】________to creativity. It isn’t true that creativity is mostly【C19】________by having a specific problem to be solved. It’s far more likely to arise because the person is bored with the way something has been done a thousand times before and wants to try something new. Boredom stimulates the search for better【C20】________to things like nothing else does."
【C17】
选项
A、off
B、out
C、about
D、through
答案
C
解析
此处是指和无所事事的状态相反的状况。人在无聊时有很多时间进行思考,而总是忙忙碌碌就会无闲暇思考,故选C项about,rush about“总是急匆匆,奔波”。rush off“匆忙走掉”(A项),rush out“仓促跑出”(B项)和rush through“匆匆做完”(C项)虽然都有匆忙的意思,但仅局限于匆忙做某一件事,意思不全面。
