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."
【C13】
选项
A、comic
B、epidemic
C、romantic
D、dynamic
答案
D
解析
从空格后面的attempt to re-establish(试图重建)可确定选D项dynamic“动态的,充满精力的,有生气的”,代入句中意思是“人们如何重建意义……,显示出动态性格”。A项comic“滑稽的”通常用来修饰好笑的娱乐节目或演员。B项epidemic通常用来形容“疾病的流行性;流行的”。C项romantic“浪漫的”通常用来修饰人或事情。
