9.When things go wrong and we're to blame,we're supposed to feel guilty.Right?Not necessarily.It tums out that when we do something that causes a negative(消極的) outcome,we actually feel less responsible for our actions.And,we see the entire situation differently than we would have if things had turned out weU.
The"blame game"is nothing new.Behavior experts have long known that people push responsibility to others,or to outside factors,when things don't work out.But new research from the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London shows that this response is more than about wanting to escape blame-we actually don't believe that what happened is our fault.
To leam more about the blame game,researchers conducted a study.They asked 34 participants to press keys that randomly produced three different noises.The noises were positive ( amusement,laughter),negative ( fear,disgust,or anger),or neutral.
The volunteers were asked to estimate(估計) the time that it took between when they pushed the button and when they heard the sound.Volunteers felt there was a longer lag(延遲) time between their actions and the negative sounds than between their actions and the positive ones.In their minds,the negative outcomes were separate from their actions.Therefore,they were able to feel less responsible for them..
The researchers say that when it comes to assigning blame,we can't always trust our own judgment."Just because you don't feel responsible,doesn't mean you're actually not,"says study author Patrick Haggard,
The findings suggest that perhaps more of us need to realize that unpleasant or negative situations may actually be our fault-even if we don't see it that way.And taking more responsibility for our actions could lead to better relationships with others.

分析 本文主要向我們介紹了一個研究發(fā)現(xiàn),人們認為積極的與自己有關(guān),相反與自己無關(guān),目的是為了不承擔責(zé)任,專家建議我們在處理人際關(guān)系的時候我們應(yīng)該多承擔責(zé)任
解答 DBADB
51 D 細節(jié)題. 根據(jù)文章第一 段we see the entire situation differently than we would have if things had turned out weU.可知如果事情好轉(zhuǎn),人們會認為這與他們的行為有關(guān),故選D.
52 B 推理判斷題. 根據(jù)文章第二 段The"blame game"is nothing new.Behavior experts have long known that people push responsibility to others,or to outside factors,when things don't work out. 可知推卸責(zé)任這個游戲一點也不新,說明之前就有行為學(xué)家研究過,故選B.
53 A 細節(jié)題. 根據(jù)文章第三 段They asked 34 participants to press keys that randomly produced three different noises. 可知他們被要求按特殊的按鍵,故選A.
54 D 細節(jié)題. 根據(jù)文章第四 段In their minds,the negative outcomes were separate from their actions.Therefore,they were able to feel less responsible for them..可知志愿者認為這種消極的結(jié)果與他們的行為是分離的,也就是說是無關(guān)的,故選D.
55 B 細節(jié)題. 根據(jù)文章最后一段 And taking more responsibility for our actions could lead to better relationships with others.可知專家建議我們在處理人際關(guān)系的時候我們應(yīng)該多承擔責(zé)任,故選B.
點評 做閱讀理解時要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問題回到原文,尋找細節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.
