23、Since the beginning of social-comparison theory in the early 1950s, psychologists and sociologists have piled up evidence that human beings form opinions of themselves — their looks, gifts, intelligence, and achievement — based in large part on the qualities they see in the people with whom they identify and associate. When those comparisons lead to inaccurate self-representations or evaluations, this distortion is sometimes referred to as the "frog-pond effect."

The phrase stems from a 1966 paper that found college students at elite universities who had low GPAs tended to view their own academic abilities less favorably than students at lower-tier colleges who had good GPAs. “It is better to be a big frog in a small pond than a small frog in a big pond," the author of that paper wrote.

The "frog-pond effect" continues to show up in research today.

“We use the term 'frog-pond effect' as shorthand for this tendency of people with a high rank in a low-rank group to evaluate themselves more favorably than people with a low rank in a high-rank group,” says Ethan Zell, PhD, author of the PLOS One study and an associate professor of psychology at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro.

“These effects are magnified when we're comparing ourselves to people we view as peers.”

In other words, we look at other people as a frame of reference when we are evaluating ourselves. While "upward" social comparisons can make us feel less attractive, less capable, or otherwise inferior, "downward" social comparisons tend to have just the opposite effect. "These effects are magnified when we're comparing ourselves to people we view as peers, or those in a similar situation to ourselves," Zell explains.

Research has found that all of us engage in social comparisons — consciously or unconsciously — dozens and perhaps hundreds of times each day. To one extent or another, these comparisons influence every aspect of our well-being and behavior, from our confidence and self-regard, to our willingness to take risks, to the likelihood that we'll develop anxiety or depression.

Upward social comparison is not inherently harmful."It can inspire us to take better care of ourselves, or to be ambitious in positive ways," Zell says. But like anything else, too much of it can cause problems.

"Social media and technology have really expanded the reach of comparisons," Zell says. Many of us can't help but feel inferior when we're exposed to image after image or post after post of people who seem cooler, more interesting, funnier, prettier, or more stylish than we are.

Before social media, most of our comparisons were based on face-to-face interactions with friends, schoolmates, co-workers, and those who occupied our real-world social spheres. We saw the good and the bad — the features and the flaws — in something closer to equal measure. And this helped properly calibrate our self-assessments.

All of this suggests that limiting your exposure to online sources of upward social comparison may pay all sorts of dividends. In the infinitely large pond that is the internet, almost all of us are going to end up feeling like small frogs.

【1】Which one below reflects the frog-pond effect?

A．Frogs in large ponds are unwilling to compare themselves with others.

B．People with a low-rank in a high-rank group feel more attractive than people with a high-rank in a low-rank group.

C．People may feel depressed when compared with those with a superior rank.

D．Students with low academic grades in key universities have less faith in themselves in comparison with those with good achievements in inferior colleges.

【2】What is the main idea of paragraph 7 and 8?

A．Social comparisons cause harmful effects.

B．Upward social comparisons make people ambitious.

C．Despite harmful effects , moderate social comparisons benefit people.

D．People are always inspired in positive ways by social comparisons.

【3】What contributes to proper self-assessment according to the article?

A．judging everyone equally in real interaction with others

B．making comparisons based on face-to-face interaction

C．identifying the benefits from social media

D．expanding the reach of comparisons

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．The "frog-pond effect" and its influence

B．The “frog-pond effect” influence self-assessment

C．How to evaluate yourself properly using the “frog-pond effect”

D．How to manage social comparisons

24、How people work out the meanings of new words has been revealed by Lancaster University researchers, who say this is similar to the way in which young children learn language.

“Babies often hear long streams of words like “who’s a lovely baby, yes you are now where’s teddy gone, oh look here is teddy”. How do they make sense of this burbling (语无伦次) to figure out the language?” said Professor Patrick Rebuschat, the lead researcher.

There are two problems about language that young children have to solve: 1) they need to work out which sounds group together to form words and what these words mean; 2) they need to understand how those words go together in sentences.

To be able to acquire the meanings of words, the child needs to know what role they play in the sentence: is the word “teddy” about a thing, or what the thing is doing, or something else?

The researchers tested how people learned new words and sentences by giving adults an artificial language to learn. They invented a language spoken by aliens (外星人) and showed people sentences in alien language alongside scenes showing aliens carrying out different actions.

Over time, learners were able to acquire the words’ meanings and their roles in the scenes—the names of the aliens, their colors, and the actions they were doing.

Learners do this by keeping track of all the associations between words and different aspects of the scenes across many learning trials before narrowing down to focus on those associations that are reliable. This method is similar to how young children learn.

Professor Rebuschat said, “So, when you say a sentence including ‘teddy’ , very often baby’s teddy bear will be nearby and in view.When this occurs repeatedly over time, the child is able to figure out from ‘look at teddy’ that ‘teddy’ means that cute brown thing.”

“We knew children and adults can use this learning process to acquire individual words and very limited language. But it was remarkable to witness our participants could use this process to learn a highly complex language with considerable speed. It shows the power of humans’ ability to keep track of all kinds of possible links between language and the world.”

【1】Which of the following helps a young child understand a sentence?

A．Working out how a word is spelled.

B．Identifying words that are closely related.

C．Picking out words that are easy to understand.

D．Listening carefully to how a word is pronounced.

【2】Why were the adults given an artificial language to learn in the study?

A．To make sure they hadn’t heard it before.

B．To test their ability to learn an alien language.

C．To see how they would react to a new language.

D．To make a comparison between adults and children.

【3】What is emphasized about the learning process in the last paragraph?

A．The process applies to a complex language.

B．The process helps both children and adults.

C．The process helps to acquire individual words.

D．The process works well with a simpleslanguage.

【4】What does the text focus on?

A．Different ways to acquire language.

B．The natural way to acquire language.

C．The development in language learning.

D．The process of children learning language.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

For two years, Mika and I were hunting for a cheap, cosy cottage by a stream. Then, late one night, something appeared online. A log cabin(木屋)on four acres, with a dirt road to the Susquehanna River and protected farmland on all sides. Perfect!

Except......

“You know where it is, riiiight?” the realtor(房地产经纪人)warned when I called the next morning. Only two houses were down there. Everything else, for hundreds of acres, was open farmland. No police, no local government, not even a grocery store. The only place within fifteen miles to buy food was a one-room shop in the back of an Amish farm. If we moved out there, he warned, we'd be completely our own.

Whatever. It had to be better than our apartment here, right?

We pulled into the dirt drive way to find horses eating grass along the fence, flowers blooming in the streams, and an Amish farmer rumbling(轰隆隆)past in a steel-wheeled truck. Unbelievable! We threw open the car doors, excitedly talking about the wonderful view. Pulling the realtor aside, we couldn't wait to make an offer. And a few weeks later, we left Philly for our dream home.

Solitude(独处)was going to be our biggest problem — or so I thought, until I heard Mika scream. I dropped the box I was unpacking and came running. I found her on the back door, holding two-year-old Maya in her arms, moving away from a six-foot black snake winding at her feet. She had been watering a row of plants and when she stepped from one to the next, the snake dropped from the roof and felt down right where Mika had been standing a second earlier.
