20191109 独立口语考题 

Some people think people are more likely to read negative news rather than positive news. Do you agree or disagree with this idea?

答案示例

Generally speaking, I think people tend to be more attracted by negative news, which usually leaves us with a deeper impression. Many positive news reports either sound alike or seem like other people's stories that have nothing to do with us. In contrast, negative news often makes us alert, I mean, they may happen in another country, but people feel that they could also befall us one day, and the simple idea of this catches our attention. Besides, somehow we're more likely to have empathy or sympathy for people stuck in personal tragedies or natural disasters than to share the joy of strangers or public figures like politicians and movie stars, and that's probably why scandals of such people never fails to become popular topics.

补充

选择agree

其他的一些想法，比如“Positive news多了有时甚至会招致反感（backfire）或者让人觉得不真实、像鸡汤”，这让我想到Friends里面有几集，Phebe找了一个“too optimistic & positive”的男朋友、后来大家都受不了他了......

选择disagree

1. 有的时候太丧了，喜欢看positive news感受一下人间的美好......举例子哈

2. 相比之下，negative news看多了会让人feel disillusioned，比如自己的偶像人设崩了。我记得几个月前，微博上一下子好多负面新闻，学术造假、歌手吸毒、演员出轨等等，当时觉得这帮人都是些什么鬼，虽然和我没关系但就是心情很不好

其实每天发生这么多事，真想究竟是怎样的、我们也只能看到一部分；多数时候了解到的都是各种媒体告诉我们的，但大家都知道肯定还有一些情况是我们不知道的；况且，凡事都有两面，其实也不存在完全positive/negative的事情。所以关键还是看我们选择去了解哪部分的“事实”吧。
