28、Swimming is a wonderful thing for me — exercise, reflection and alone time. The only thing that can ruin a swim is when I shift my attention from my lane to what’s happening in the lanes next to me. I can catch myself racing the person next to me, or comparing our strokes.
Comparison is actually not an emotion. Researchers explain that comparing the self with others, either intentionally or unintentionally, is a common social phenomenon.
Comparison is the desire for consistency from one side and competition from the other — it’s trying to be like everyone else, but better. When we compare ourselves with others, we are ran king around a specific collection of “ alike things ” . I’m not swimming against Katie Ledecky’s times, I’m just interested in the stranger in the lane next to me. When we compare, we want to be the best of our group. It’s not be yourself and respect others for being genuine, but to win. I want to swim the same workout as you, and beat you at it.
In general, however, social comparisons are not associated with life satisfaction or the positive emotions of love and joy but are associated with the negative emotions of fear, anger, shame and sadness.
Here’s what makes all of this really tough: Many social psychologists consider social comparison something that happens to us. More often than not, we don’t even know we’re doing it. This lack of awareness can lead to us showing up in ways that are hurtful to ourselves and others.
So we get to choose how we’re going to let it affect us. My new strategy is to look at the person in the lane next to me, and say to myself, as if I’m talking to them, “ Have a great swim. ” That way, I acknowledge the inevitable and make a conscious decision to wish them well, and return to my swim. So far, it’s working pretty well.
【1】What do we know about comparison?
A．It is nothing but an emotion.
B．It is trying to be the true self.
C．It is to be different and be the best.
D．It is to fit in and meanwhile to win.
【2】What may be the author’s attitude to social comparison?
A．Critical.
B．Doubtful.
C．Indifferent.
D．Favorable.
【3】What is the feature of social comparison in the eyes of many psychologists?
A．Its unavoidability.
B．Its emotional influence.
C．Its uncertainty.
D．Its cultural root.
【4】Why is swimming frequently mentioned in the text?
A．To present a social perspective on a sport issue.
B．To use it as an example to support an opinion.
C．To describe the right process of solving a problem.
D．To show love for sports with a personal experience.
