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."
【C14】
选项
A、flavor
B、mood
C、sense
D、mode
答案
C
解析
无聊使得人们参与有意义的活动,这是因为人们试图通过做这些事情重建一种有意义的感觉,故选C项sense“感觉”。A项flavor通常指食物的味道,或指有特色的风味。“有意义”不属于一种心情,所以B项的mood“心情”也不合适。D项mode指的是“(生活或行为)方式或是(文学、艺术或穿着等的)风格”,也不能与meaningfulness搭配。
