We might love to tell others about our unusual experiences—that time we climbed Mount Everest, tasted some rare food or ran into a famous person on the street. But new research suggests：that if we s【1】 these unusual experiences with others, it may bring something uncomfortable.

"Unusual experiences are pleasant in the moment but can cause social t【2】 in the long run, "says psychological scientist Gus Cooney of Harvard University. "Some people mistakenly thought that having an unusual experience would make them the star. But they were wrong, because to be unusual is to be different from other people, and social interaction is based on something similar. "

"We all h【3】 to have experiences that are fine and rare, and when we get what we want, we are always eager to tell our friends. But I've noticed that conversations always seem to develop well on more ordinary topics." Cooney explains. " This made me wonder if unusual experiences were r【4】 as lovely as we had thought. "

To find out, Cooney and his colleagues had 68 people come to the lab in groups of f【5】. In each group, one person was asked to watch a popular video of a street magician performing for a crowd, while the other three people were asked to watch an ordinary animated video. After watching the videos, the people sat around a table and had a five-minute free conversation.

After the group discussion, the people who watched the magician's performance felt w【6】 than those who watched the animated video, because they felt they were not included during the discussion.

This finding suggests that we ought to give more thought in choosing what to talk about with others. If an experience turns you into someone who has n【7】 in common with others, then no matter how good it is, it won't make you comfortable in the long run.

【解析】

本文講述了我們可能喜歡告訴別人我們不尋常的經(jīng)歷，但新的研究表明，如果我們與他人分享這些不尋常的經(jīng)歷，可能會帶來一些不舒服的東西。

【1】句意：但新的研究表明:如果我們與他人分享這些不尋常的經(jīng)歷，可能會帶來一些不舒服的東西。

share sth with sb和某人分享某物，故填share。

【2】句意：哈佛大學(xué)的心理學(xué)家古斯·庫尼說：“不尋常的經(jīng)歷在當時是令人愉快的，但從長遠來看會造成社會問題。”

根據(jù)前文的that if we s___1___ these unusual experiences with others, it may bring something uncomfortable.可知，不尋常的經(jīng)歷讓人不舒服，因此帶來社會問題，故填trouble(s)。

【3】句意：我們都希望有美好的，不尋常的經(jīng)歷，當我們得到我們想要的東西，我們總是渴望告訴我們的朋友。

hope to do sth希望做某事，故填hope。

【4】句意：庫尼解釋道：“這讓我懷疑，不尋常的經(jīng)歷是否真的像我們想象的那么美好�！�

修飾形容詞短語as lovely as用副詞，故填really。

【5】句意：為了找到答案，庫尼和他的同事們讓68人四人一組來到實驗室。

根據(jù)后文的In each group, one person was asked to watch a popular video of a street magician performing for a crowd, while the other three people were asked to watch an ordinary animated video.可知，在每一組中，一個人被要求觀看一段街頭魔術(shù)師表演的流行視頻，而另外三個人被要求觀看一段普通的動畫視頻。因此一組四個人，故填four。

【6】句意：在小組討論之后，看了魔術(shù)師表演的人比看了動畫視頻的人感覺更糟，因為他們覺得自己沒有被包括在討論中。

根據(jù)than用比較級，根據(jù)because they felt they were not included during the discussion.可知，因為他們覺得自己沒有被包括在討論中，因此是更糟糕的，故填worse。

【7】句意：如果一段經(jīng)歷讓你變成了一個和別人毫無共同之處的人，那么無論它有多好，從長遠來看都不會讓你感到舒服。

根據(jù)no matter how good it is, it won't make you comfortable in the long run.可知，無論多好的經(jīng)歷，沒有讓你感到舒服，因此這是讓你和別人毫無共同之處，have nothing common with sb和某人毫無共同之處，故填nothing。
