高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
When Benjamin Cherkasky was in eighth grade, he quit the swim team. It wasn’t because he lacked the passion; he just couldn’t accept failures in matches. “I’m not Michael Phelps, why am I even on the team?” he said.
A US therapist (治疗专家) who researches perfectionism at Northwestern University realized years later what had happened. Cherkasky’s perfectionism was creating unrealistic standards. Unable to meet them, he quit.
“My perfectionism prompted (导致) very high expectations, and that caused real suffering,” he said.
Cherkasky is not alone in feeling that perfectionism can breed anxiety. So many millennials (千禧一代) suffer from the ills of perfectionism that psychologists are issuing warnings and schools are emphasizing the need to accept failure.
Northwestern had held several seminars that offered tips on how students could deal with a perfectionism problem.
Jessica Rohlfing Pryor, a psychologist leading the events, said every generation is a sponge for the messages it receives.
“Millennials, more than any other generation in American society, are receiving clear messages around achieving,” she said. “There’s an absence of messaging that trying your hardest is still OK.”
The American Psychological Association also found out that recent generations of college students have reported higher levels of perfectionism than earlier generations.
This “desire to achieve along with being overly critical of oneself and others” affects young people’s mental health, according to its research, which analyzed data from over 40,000 college students.
Researchers noted that social media adds comparative pressure, along with the drive to earn money and achieve career goals. Perfectionists often create even higher goals, which can lead to a higher risk of failure.
In college, Cherkasky found himself surrounded by so many intelligent people that he felt he should have been achieving a higher level than he was. “It makes you feel kind of crazy,” he said.
This type of thinking can lead people to putting in less effort, which, as they fall behind, can create more anxiety. “It makes people feel kind of isolated.” Cherkasky added, “And that can cause students to drift away from their school”. Northwestern is not the only school eager to help students.
Brown University includes perfectionism in its counseling (咨询) services, asking students if they ever feel that what they accomplish isn’t good enough.
1.Why did Cherkasky quit the swim team in eighth grade?
A.He wanted more time to study. B.He found he had no passion for swimming.
C.He couldn’t reach the goal he set for himself. D.He always did badly in swimming competitions.
2.Which of the following would Pryor probably agree with?
A.Millennials are unwilling to work hard.
B.Young people should accept being imperfect.
C.Young people should learn to deal with pressure.
D.Perfectionism can benefit individuals and society.
3.What did the American Psychological Association discover?
A.Social media users were more likely to be perfectionists.
B.Perfectionism could have a negative impact on physical health.
C.Few universities offered help to students with mental problems.
D.College millennial students suffer more perfectionism problems than ever.
4.The author describes Cherkasky’s experience in college mainly to show ______.
A.the harm of being a perfectionist B.the effect of isolation on perfectionists
C.the pressure college students experience D.the challenges underachievers have to overcome
