You are invited to a large party. Loud music is playing, and lots of people are dancing. Groups of people are mingling with each other, making small talk about many different topics. Which of these people sound most like you? Person A, who tries to talk to everyone and stays late, or Person B, who prefers to talk to only a few people and leaves early?
If you said Person A, you are probably more extroverted. If you said Person B, you are probably more introverted. Or perhaps you are Person C and fall somewhere in the middle.
Introvert and extrovert are two commonly used words to describe a person’s personality. And they are also commonly misused and misunderstood. Introverts may be viewed as quiet, shy and timid. They may be called "wallflowers," meaning they are so quiet they blend in with flowers on the wallpaper. Extroverts may be viewed as bold, confident, loud and full of energy. They are often called "alpha," meaning a leader of the group. Introverted and extroverted people may fit those descriptions. But these same descriptions do not define introversion and extroversion properly.
Introverts and extroverts use their brains differently, and they get their energy differently. Introversion is the state of being mostly concerned with one’s own mental life. Extroversion is the opposite. Extroversion is the state of being mostly concerned with what is outside oneself.
People who consider themselves introverts may say they need to be alone to "charge their batteries" or that being in large crowds makes them tired. However, introverts may still love being social and going to parties. But such activities require time to prepare and time to repair. Extroverts may say, "I don’t need ’alone time.’ I feel more relaxed being around other people." Even so, extroverts can still feel unsure or not confident among other people.
Susan Cain is the author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts. In an article published in Psychology Today, she explains that shyness is often considered a synonym of introversion. It is not. Shyness is having a fear of being judged poorly by others. Introverts just prefer being in quiet environments. For example, Bill Gates, the inventor of Microsoft, is quiet and bookish, she writes. But Gates does not care about the opinions other people may have of him. He is an introvert, writes Cain, but he is not shy.
The famous singer and actor Barbra Streisand has an outgoing, larger-than-life personality.[19]But Barbra Streisand, Cain writes, also has a paralyzing case of stage fright. This is a commonly used fixed expression. Performers who suffer from stage fright can quite literally be frozen or paralyzed on stage. Cain considers Babara Streisand a shy extrovert.
16. What kind of behavior is considered more introverted?
17. What is our impression of extroverted people?
18. What do we learn about people who consider themselves introverts?
19. What kind of behavior can be considered "shy"?
选项
A、They are always alone by themselves.
B、They are tired of charging their batteries.
C、They do not like socializing with people.
D、They need time to prepare for social activities.
答案
D
解析
选项都是以They为主语的陈述句,根据选项的内容,推测问题可能与某一类人的特点相关。题目问自认为内向的人的情况。录音中部的转折处(However)提到,内向之人仍然是喜欢社交活动的,只是这些活动需要时间去准备,D项“他们需要时间去为社交活动做准备”为该处录音内容的同义转述,故为答案;同时也可排除C项“他们不喜欢社交”。录音中提到他们可能会说需要独处为自己充电,但并不等同于他们总是自己一个人,故A项错。录音还提到他们可能会说和一大群人一起很累(tired),而非B项所说的“对为自己充电感到厌倦”。
