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、Being quiet and bookish.
B、Ignoring people’s judgment.
C、Suffering from stage fright.
D、Having an outgoing personality.
答案
C
解析
选项都是动名词短语,推测问题可能与行为有关。录音接近末尾处通过Barbra Streisand怯场(stagefright)的例子说明开朗外向的人也可以是一个害羞的人,所以怯场是害羞的表现,故C项为正确答案。录音靠后部分提到Bill Gates和Barbra Streisand的例子,说明害羞不等同于内向。Bill Gates虽然是个安静的、喜欢看书的内向之人,但他并不害羞,故排除A项。录音中对害羞的定义是“一种对于别人消极评价的恐惧”,恐惧并不等同于忽视,故B项所说的“忽视别人的评价”不是害羞的表现。Barbra Streisand是个开朗热情的人,但这与“害羞”并无必然联系,故D项不选。
