3. When it comes to reading,we may be assuming that reading for knowledge is the best reason to pick up a book.Research,however,suggests that reading fiction may provide far more important benefits than nonfiction.It may be one of the best methods for building empathy (同理心),critical thinking and creativity.
High-level business leaders have long enthusiastically praised the virtues of reading.But they almost always recommend nonfiction.Reading nonfiction might certainly be valuable for collecting knowledge.However,research suggests that reading fiction predicts a sharper ability to understand other people's motivations.
In addition,research suggests that reading literary fiction is an effective way to improve the brain's ability to keep an open mind while processing information,a necessary skill for effective decision-makjye.aig.In a 2013 study,researchers examined something called the need for cognitive closure (認(rèn)知閉合),or the desire to "reach a quick conclusion in decision-making and an aversion to uncertainty and confusion".Individuals with a strong need for cognitive closure rely heavily on "early information hints",meaning they struggle to change their minds as new information becomes available.A high need for cognitive closure also means individuals are attracted to smaller bits of information and fewer viewpoints.Individuals who resist the need for cognitive closure tend to be more thoughtful,more creative,and more comfortable with competing narratives — all characteristics of high emotional intelligence.
University of Toronto researchers discovered that individuals in their study who read short stories (as opposed to essays) demonstrated a lower need for cognitive closure.That result is not surprising given that reading literature requires us to slowdown,take in volumes of information,and then change our minds as we read.There's no easy answer in literature.Instead,there's only perspective-taking.As readers,we'll almost certainly find Lolita's narrator Humbert Humbert hateful,but we are forced to experience how he thinks,a valuable exercise for decreasing our need for cognitive closure.
(1)What does the second paragraph suggest about reading fiction?
A.It can't help us to keep motivated.
B.It helps us to gather knowledge.
C.It helps us to improve reading skills.
D.It helps us to better understand others.
(2)What is the most possible meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 3?
A.Amazement.
B.Desire.
C.Dislike.
D.Need.
(3)What do we know about people with a high need for cognitive closure?
A.They are unwilling to accept new things.
B.They rely a little on the help of others.
C.They are happy to accept new knowledge.
D.They are in no hurry to draw conclusions.
(4)What is the advantage of reading fiction according to the text?
A.It can hardly change our mind.
B.It can improve emotional intelligence.
C.It can increase the need for cognitive closure.
D.It can add the ability of literature appreciation.組卷:5引用:3難度:0.3

On their way home,Carlos and Maya saw a spaceship in the window of a toy store.They went inside the store to see how much it cost.They saw the price and it was too expensive.They tried to pool their money together but it still wasn't enough.
They left the store sad and disappointed.Carlos suddenly realized that his birthday was coming up.Maybe he could ask their parents to buy the spaceship as a gift for his birthday.
When they got home,Carlos ran straight to their mother and told her what he wanted for his birthday.
Their family didn't have much when it came to money.So,when their dad stopped by the store to see the toy that Carlos wanted,he found it was too expensive.They couldn't afford it.
On the day of his birthday,Carlos got up early,excited to see his gift.But when he got to the living room,he saw a spaceship that was made out of a cardboard box.His dad had made it for him.It had wings on each side and had enough space to ride in.It was a spaceship but it wasn't what he wanted.
Tears flowed (流) from Carlos' eyes and he ran back to his room.Maya had just woken up and saw their mom knocking on the door and asking Carlos to come out.But he didn't want to.
Maya got to the living room but couldn't see the spaceship they had seen,only the cardboard box.She saw their dad beside it,bent down (彎著腰) on one knee with his head down.
Maya didn't want her brother to be sad on his birthday.So she tried to think of a way to cheer her brother up.She looked at the cardboard spaceship and got an idea.
Carlos didn't have breakfast and now he was hungry.He was about to get out of bed when he heard a knock on the door.It was Maya.She said that they had a surprise for him.
