Would you be happier if you spent more time discussing the state of the world and the meaning of life—and less time talking about the weather?
It may sound counterintuitive(违反直觉的), but people who spend more of their day having deep discussions and less time engaging in small talk seem to be happier, said Matthias Mehl, a psychologist at the University of Arizona who published a study on the【C1】_____.
"We found this so interesting, because it could have gone the other way—it could have been, ’Don’t worry, be happy’—as long as you surf on the【C2】_____level of life you’re happy, and if you go into the essential depths you’ll be unhappy," Dr. Mehl said.
But, he【C3】_____, deep conversation seemed to hold the【C4】_____to happiness for two main reasons: both because human beings are driven to find and create【C5】_____in their lives, and because we are social animals who want and need to【C6】_____with other people.
"By engaging in meaningful conversations, we manage to impose meaning on a(n) 【C7】_____pretty chaotic world," Dr. Mehl said. "And interpersonally, as you find this meaning, you bond with your interactive partner, and we know that interpersonal connection and integration is a core【C8】_____foundation of happiness."
Dr. Mehl’s study was small and doesn’t【C9】_____a cause-and-effect relationship between the kind of conversations one has and one’s happiness. But that’s the【C10】_____next step, when he will ask people to increase the number of deep conversations they have each day and cut back on small talk, and vice versa.
A)proposed B)contact C)otherwise D)shallow
E)calculated F)subject G)prove H)planned
I)connect J)love K)fundamental L)nevertheless
M)meaning N)fantastic O)key
【C7】
选项
答案
C
解析
此处应为副词。空后的chaotic表示“混乱的”,这与上文的meaningful等表述积极的概念是截然不同的,otherwise符合语义。
