In our contemporary culture, the prospect of communicating with — or even looking at — a stranger is virtually unbearable. Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they fiddle with their phones, even without a【C1】______underground.
It’s a sad reality — our desire to avoid interacting with other human beings — because there’s【C2】______to be gained from talking to the stranger standing by you. But you wouldn’t know it,【C3】______into your phone. This universal armor sends the【C4】______: "Please don’t approach me."
What is it that makes us feel we need to hide【C5】______our screens?
One answer is fear, according to Jon Wortmann, executive mental coach. We fear rejection, or that our innocent social advances will be【C6】______as "creepy". We fear we’ll be【C7】______. We fear we’ll be disruptive. Strangers are inherently【C8】______to us, so we are more likely to feel【C9】______when communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances. To avoid this anxiety, we【C10】______to our phones. "Phones become our security blanket," Wortmann says. "They are our happy glasses that protect us from what we perceive is going to be more【C11】______. "
But once we rip off the bandaid, tuck our smartphones in our pockets and look up, it doesn’t【C12】______so bad. In one 2011 experiment, behavioral scientists Nicholas Epley and Juliana Schroeder asked commuters to do the unthinkable: Start a【C13】______. They had Chicago train commuters talk to their fellow【C14】______. "When Dr. Epley and Ms. Schroeder asked other people in the same train station to【C15】______how they would feel after talking to a stranger, the commuters thought their【C16】______would be more pleasant if they sat on their own," the New York Times summarizes. Though the participants didn’t expect a positive experience, after they【C17】______with the experiment, "not a single person reported having been snubbed."
【C18】______, these commutes were reportedly more enjoyable compared with those sans communication, which makes absolute sense,【C19】______human beings thrive off social connections. It’s that【C20】______; Talking to strangers can make you feel connected.
【C19】
选项
A、unless
B、since
C、if
D、whereas
答案
B
解析
选项的存在句是跟在定语从句which makes absolute sense(这绝对有道理)之后,应该是解释原因,所以选择since。since human beings thrive off of social connections的意思是“人类因为有社会交往才会兴旺发达”。
