1. My husband Christopher was once a financial planner. Even though he couldn’ tbalance our budget，his clients trusted him completely and he made them feelsecure. In exchange they paid him very well.We had a nice life then.At that time，myyoga studio(瑜伽
馆)was just starting to make a profit，and I had recently decoratedit.At last， I was in control of my
working life and poured my heart and soul intomaking
it succeed.
When we first met，I fell hard for Christopher right away,although I wouldn’t callit love. I’ d never been with a man who was prettier than I was,but after a while Igot used to this，and it didn’t bother me so much.I was recovering from a brokenheart and needed something to help me move on.If it wasn’t love,it was goodenough， and when he asked me to marry him I jumped at the chance，knowing that itmight be my last.
Things started out so well.I was working steadily and Christopher was patientlyclimbing up the ladder in his department.Then，without any warning，one gray winterafternoon in year five，he just upped and left his desk at the bank，handed in hisresignation，and came home and told me he wanted to start an interior designbusiness.
He has always loved mixing and matching，and has a real eye for color,texture，andshape， but the idea of turning a hobby into a business wasn’t something we
had everdiscussed. I thought the stress of his job was becoming too much and perhaps he wouldtake a few
months off over the spring and summer to relax and get the idea out ofhis system. I didn’t believe he could
be serious.But once he had a few clients，hebegan to draw up plans，ordering catalogues and turning our
empty workshop into akind of makeshift studio with all
of his sketches pinned to the wall.After spendinga lot
of time and money on all of this preparation，and
really doing quite a nicejob of it， he called each
client in turn and apologized，saying he wouldn’t be ableto design their living spaces after all.

2. In a quiet， darkened lecture room， you begin
a frustrating fight againstfatigue. The overhead projector hums， and you cannot concentrate on the slides.Youstop absorbing information and become absentminded. The professor lost you a longtime ago. You are bored.Virtually everyone gets bored once in a while. Most of us chalk it up to a dullenvironment. “The most common way to define boredom in Western culture is ‘havingnothing to do，’ ” says psychologist Stephen Vodanovich of the University of WestFlorida. And indeed，early research into the effects of boredom focused on peopleforced to perform dull tasks，such as working a factory assembly
line.But boredom is not merely an natural property of the circumstances,researcherssay.Rather this perception is subjective and rooted in aspects ofconsciousness.Levels of boredom vary among people：some individuals are far lessliable to boredom than
others—and some，such as extroverts(性格外向者),are morelikely to have this feeling.
Thus， a new generation of scientists is coping
with the psychologicalinterpretations of this most
tedious of human emotions—and they have found that
itis more complicated than is commonly
known.Researchers say that boredom is not aunified
concept but rather comes in several flavors.Level of attention,an aspect ofconscious awareness，plays an important role in boredom，such that improving
aperson’s ability to focus may therefore decrease boredom.Emotional factors can alsocontribute to
boredom.People who are poor in understanding their own feelings andthose who become sucked in and distracted
by their moods are more easily bored，forample.Staying away from tedium is not easy.People who are liable to boredom are morelikely to suffer from ills such as depression and drug addiction；they also tend tobe
socially awkward and poor performers at school or work.

situation

boredom

3. Storytelling is one of the few human features
that are truly universal acrossculture and through all
of known history.Anthropologists find evidence of folktaleseverywhere in ancient cultures，written in anskrit，Latin,Greek,Chinese，Egyptianand
Sumerian.People in societies of all types weave stories，from oral storytellersin huntergatherer
tribes to the millions of writers bringing out books，televisionshows and movies.And when a characteristic behavior shows up in so many differentsocieties，researchers pay attention：its roots may tell us something about ourevolutionary past.
To study storytelling，scientists must first
define what constitutes a story,andthat can prove tricky.Because there are so many diverse
forms,scholars often definestory structure，known as narrative，by explaining what it is
not.Expositioncontrasts with narrative by being a simple，straightforward explanation,such as alist of facts or an encyclopedia entry.Another standard approach defines narrativeas a series of causally linked events that unfold over time.A third definition drawson the typical narrative’s subject matter：the interactions of intentionalagents—characters with minds—who possess various motivations.However narrative is defined，people know it when they feel
it.Whether fiction ornonfiction，a narrative engages its audience through psychologicalrealism—recognizable emotions and believable interactions among characters.“Everyone has a natural detector for psychological realism，”says RaymondA.Mar,assistant professor of psychology at York University in Toronto.“We can tellwhen something rings false.”But the best stories—those retold through generationsand translated into other languages—do more than simply present a believablepicture.These tales attract their audience，whose emotions can be closely tied tothose of the story’s characters.Such immersion(沉浸)is a state psychologistscall“narrative
transport”.Researchers have only begun figuring out the relationsamong the variables that can initiate narrative transport.
