Wuld yu rather watch a new mvie,r an ld favrite?Wuld yu rather try a dish yu’ve never had at a restaurant,r stick with smething yu knw yu’ll like?Researchers studying the “mere expsure effect” have fund that we ften prefer the familiar t the nvel.
Peple didn’t need t experience a reward r psitive utcme while arund the bject—simply being expsed t the bject wuld be enugh t make peple like it.T test this,scial psychlgist Rbert Zajnc had participants read wrds in a freign language ut lud and varied hw ften participants read each wrd (up t 25 repetitins).Next,after reading the wrds,participants were asked t guess at the meaning f each wrd by filling ut a rating scale (indicating hw psitive r negative they thught the meaning f the wrd was).
He fund that participants liked wrds that they had said mre ften,while wrds that participants hadn’t read at all were rated mre negatively,and wrds that had been read 25 times were rated highest.Just the mere expsure t the wrd was enugh t make participants like it mre.
One place where the mere expsure effect ccurs is in advertising.It explains why seeing the same advertisement multiple times culd be mre cnvincing than just seeing it nce.Of curse,there’s a cautin here:the mere expsure effect desn’t happen fr things we initially dislike.Researchers have fund that ur liking fr a variety f things (including pictures,sunds,fds,and smells) can be increased with repeated expsure,suggesting that the mere expsure effect isn’t limited t just ne f ur senses.Additinally,researchers have fund that the mere expsure effect ccurs in studies with human research participants as well as in studies with nn-human animals.
Anther key finding frm this analysis was that participants eventually started t like bjects less after many repeated expsures.In ther wrds,a smaller number f repeated expsures will make yu like smething mre——but,if the repeated expsures cntinue,yu culd eventually get tired f it.

Passage 2 (2024山東菏澤一模)
主題:多力多滋理論 詞數(shù):336難度:★★★★☆
The apparent cmplexities f the TikTk algrithm(算法) may actually be as simple as a bag f chips.In a vide with mre than 700,000 views,creatr Celeste Aria laid ut her “Drit thery”,which she uses t explain the addictive nature f endlessly-scrlling scial media feeds.
Everyne has a tpic they just can’t stp thinking abut,and Aria’s Rman Empire is Drits.In her ppular vide,she expresses that TikTk scrlling is s addictive because it is never fully satisfying.Like a Drit,a scrlling sessin n the Fr Yu Page is mst stimulating during the first few bites.The end f the chip r vide brings a desire t start cnsuming anther ne,thus returning t that first-bite feeling.
Essentially,the Drit thery suggests that activities like eating Drits,which prvide a quick burst f pleasure but lack lasting satisfactin,can be highly addictive.Aria cmpared it t cnsuming fds that ffer deeper satisfactin,like a hearty steak,where the feeling f fullness and cntentment lasts lnger.
The thery can apply t a lt f different experiences,but it’s particularly well-suited as a metaphr fr the dpamine(多巴胺) bsts that ccur while scrlling thrugh scial media Srensn,a bard-certified psychiatrist,said that the Drit thery is cnsistent with existing ideas regarding addictin.“The mre immediate the reward is,the mre likely we are t repeat that behavir,whether it’s eating Drits r scrlling n scial media.”
Aria may nt be a licensed medical prfessinal,but she treats junk fd the way any nutritinist wuld.“I’d recmmend just trying t remve anything that yu think falls int the Drit categry,” she says in her vide.
The Drit thery trend has led t reflectins n the nature f addictin and the pursuit f instant satisfactin in tday’s sciety,resnating(共鳴) with many TikTk users wh recgnize similar patterns in their wn lives.S,it feels like it’s nly a matter f time befre Drits respnds t Aria’s thery.

Passage 3 (2024浙江溫州二模)
主題:宜家效應(yīng) 詞數(shù):321 難度:★★★★★
When instant cake mixes first appeared in the 1950s,American husewives were dubtful.These mixes,prmising easy cake-baking,felt t easy.The manufacturers discvered that requiring the additin f an egg in the baking prcess was just enugh t make the husewives happy with their wrk.The greater sense f effrt gained frm a little extra labr is believed t have been essential t the later success f the cake mix.
This reflects the IKEA effect (宜家效應(yīng)),which is identified by psychlgist Michael I.Nrtn and his clleagues,suggesting we place greater value n things we have wrked t create.They cnducted fur studies in which they asked participants t fld paper cranes and frgs,assemble IKEA bxes,and build sets f Legs.They then asked the builders t bid(出價(jià)) fr their creatins,and cmpared the prices with bids frm peple wh hadn’t built them.The builders cnsistently utbid the nn-builders.
Interestingly,the IKEA effect wrks even when peple have n pprtunity t fully persnalize their creatins.While mst participants’ flding skills left much t be desired,they lved their imperfectly persnalized prducts all the mre.Builders valued their wrinkled crane-like creatins nearly five times as much as nn-builders.Beauty,it seems,is in the eye f the builder.
Tday,as cities are suffering frm severe husing crises,the IKEA effect can give us insight int the well-being benefits f a self-building apprach t husing develpment.Prjects like WikiHuse and the “half-a-huse” apprach pineered by Alejandr Aravena’s architecture cmpany Elemental are wrking t make husing mre affrdable and sustainable by making it easier fr peple t build and persnalize their wn hmes.
“The mment peple are invlved with their built envirnment,they have a ttally different relatinship t it,” WikiHuse c-funder Alastair Parvin explained.“When the rf starts leaking r a dr starts creaking,they have the pwer t fix it themselves.”
【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文。本文通過討論宜家效應(yīng)以及幾個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)研究的結(jié)果,論述了人們更加珍視自己親手創(chuàng)造的東西,并由此引發(fā)了對自我建造住房的好處的思考。
