We might love to tell others about our unusual experiences. For example, we climbed a high
mountain, tasted a rare food, or ran into a superstar on the street. But new research suggests that sharing these unusual experiences may not be welcomed in conversation.
We all like unusual experiences, and always can't wait to share them with our friends. Some people even thought that having an unusual experience would make them the star of the conversation.
However, it was wrong. To be unusual means to be different from other people. And if you do not share similarities with the people around you, they will not welcome you in the conversation. Besides, conversations always seem to go well on more usual topics.
To find out, psychologists(心理學(xué)家)invited 68 participants(參與者)to come to the lab in groups of four. In each group, one watched a wonderful video of a magic performance, while the other three watched a cartoon video. After watching the videos, the participants sat around a table and had a short conversation.
The participants who watched the magic performance said they felt worse after the conversation than those who watched the cartoon video. That was because they felt left out during the conversation.
This finding suggests that we might want to give more thought in choosing which experiences to share with others. If an experience turns you into someone who has nothing in common with others, then no matter how good it was, it will not make you happy.
1. What kind of topic can make conversations go well?
2. Why did psychologists do such an experiment(實驗)?
3.Would you like to share your unusual experiences with your friends? Why or why not?

請認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文,從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
Many years ago, when I was in high school and working at weekends, I lost my wallet. That day, I needed to put gas in my car. I paid for the gas and then put my wallet on the front bumper(保險杠) and drove off. I didn't even have time to miss it when my phone rang. A man asked me if I had lost my wallet. I checked my bag and to my surprise, I had. He asked me to tell him what was in it. I did so. He then told me where to go to pick up my wallet.
As I drove to his house, I noticed the man's car. It was really special. I was thinking that there was no way this man could have easily got out of his car and got my wallet off the street. He had to pull over, get in his wheelchair, lower the lift, and then pick it up.
I thanked him like 10 times for finding my wallet. I didn't want to insult(冒犯)him by offering money but I really felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness, and he said, "Just pass it on". I said I would be certain to do that.
Well, one does not find many wallets and so it was about 10 years later that I found one. It took me several days to find the man to whom the wallet belonged. He lived in another state, about 60 miles away from where I found the wallet.
The young man was actually surprised that his money was still in the wallet and he tried to
hand me $20. I told him, "Thanks, but just pass it on."
