For some people, the light of human attention has an unbearable brilliance. Like ivy along the dim edge of a garden, they prefer the social shadows, shunning parties, publicity and fame of any sort. Then there are the flowers of the human
arboretum
. For them, being in the view of others seems necessary for life itself. From Hollywood to fabricated prime-time reality, this spotlight-dependent species is thriving.
But what about the individuals who crave attention for more desperate reasons? Those who resort to unusual ways to get it? Lately, it seems, a dark bloom of these characters has emerged. For motives known only to themselves, they have won
notoriety
by drawing on an almost sacred well of social status; victim hood.
In early April, US national news outlets tracked the disappearance of Audrey Seiler, a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Police and hundreds of concerned citizens searched for four days before Seiler was discovered. Seiler said she was kidnapped. Within hours, however, her story fell apart. Police announced that her
abduction
had been a hoax. Why would a popular student make herself disappear? Her motive remains a mystery, but perhaps it had something to do with the search parties and the news bulletins that surrounded her.
Sympathy is a powerful sentiment that can connect complete strangers. But if it’s used to manipulate, the backlash can be much more intense.
In February, a Waterbury, Connecticut, man was arrested as a result of exploiting sympathy.
Edward Valentin told reporters that he had received word that his wife, serving in Iraq, had been killed in an explosion. Police said Valentin admitted the fabrication, reasoning that if people felt sorry for him maybe the military would send his wife home. Evidence, however, points elsewhere.
In its extreme form, such a craving shows up in mental disorders, where sufferers may seek attention by causing themselves harm. But even when it comes with no diagnosis, a deep craving to be noticed can have a wide impact.
For these individuals, victim hood represents a " pure state of guilt-free entitlement," said psychologist Richard Levak, of Del Mar, California. " They go from being utterly deprived to being
utterly
indulged. In today’s world . . . people have become more depressed and disconnected from each other. So you get people who crave affection and attention and approval. They don’t know how to ask for it and they don’t know how to get it. That leaves them vulnerable," Levak said.
The last paragraph suggests that______.
选项
A、society has nothing to do with the extreme behavior of people
B、people who play the victim are doing what they feel is right
C、people’s deep need of attention implies psychological problems
D、people who fish for attention indulge themselves in fabricating reality
答案
B
解析
根据最后一段的内容“For these individuals,victim hood represents a”pure state ofguilt—free entitlement,“对于这些人们来说,受害人的遮掩表示一种”无罪恶感的纯粹状态“”可知,这些人对自己的所作所为没有任何罪恶感,所以B项“对于那些博取别人同情的人来说,他们认为他们的做法是他们的正当权利”。所以B项符合题意。A项“社会和人们的这种偏激行为没有关系”,C项“人们迫切需要关注暗示了心理问题”,D项“吸引别人注意的人们沉迷于自己捏造的事实中”,这三项不能从最后一段推测出。
