A. It means that different team is accessible to you. B. Belonging to your favorite team stimulates your confidence. C. That identity is first and foremost. D. The more we follow a team, the deeper the bond becomes. E. In that sense, your favorite team can serve the same purpose as church and family: Fostering a sense of belonging. F. This refers to the inclination by fans to distance themselves from their team after a defeat. |
"Our research has shown that the No. 1 reason people become fans is that it's your connection to your first community," said Adam Earnhardt, chairman of the communications department at Youngstown State University and co﹣author of "Sports Fans, Identity and Socialization: Exploring the Fandemonium." "I don't care if a Seattle fan moves to China, he or she carries with them their love for the sports teams," he said. "(1) "
(2) . And when a team begins to catch fire, as with, say, the Mariners in '95 or the Seahawks of recent vintage, well, it's easy to get swept up in the wave.
"It's phenomenal," said Simons. "We have this ability to understand other people so remarkably that their victories literally become ours. Our testosterone(睾酮) literally responds to their victory. (3) They're us, and competing on a literal level as us a little extension of us."
Professor Robert Cialdini at Arizona State University came up with the term BIRG Basking In Reflected Glory to describe the intense pride fans feel when their teams succeed. It can be used as a verb, as in, "Seahawks fans are currently BIRGING up a storm." The counterpoint, as coined by researchers C.R. Snyder, Mary Anne Lassergard and Carol E, Ford, is the concept of CORFing Cutting Off Reflected Failure. (4) . We've all heard it in action: We won, but they lost.
This leads into another concept, that of cognitive bias, also known as confirmation bias, which causes fans to help explain away defeats by blaming outside factors, such as referees. I'm sure it would also help explain why Seahawks fans rallied around Richard Sherman after his postgame interview, rationalizing behavior that was widely criticized by many fans with no vested interest. It could also explain the notion of "eustress", invented by endocrinologist Hans Selye to refer to a combination of euphoria (极度愉快的心情) and stress, such as that resulting from watching tense sporting events. Indeed, it's much of the appeal.

“At last, no more exams.” It’s a common feeling among high school graduates who have just completed the college entrance examination. What a relief!

How an unbelievable scene ! A modern young couple were eating fruit in public and had thrown a plenty of waste on the ground. When an old cleaner comes to clean up, the man was very angry. He pointed at the cleaner, said in a loud voice," How impolite! They haven't finished eating!" " How could people behave such badly?" I thought. Obvious, in their eyes, they could do all they liked and ignore other's feelings. In my opinion, we should pay attention our behavior, obey public rules and respect other's works. We should know that really civilized people are those who have good manners but a beautiful mind all the time.

Every person has a great deal of love to give. Here is a general guide to loving.
Say it. When you say the words “I Love You”, make sure you really mean it, and are willing to do anything for that special person.If you love someone, you should understand how they feel, where they come from, and who they are. Realize how they could also love you back just as well.
Love unconditionally. Giving unconditional love requires you to love without any expectations.It seems difficult to only love and not demand anything in return in today’s world where everyone is selfish. But even in this world we see many examples of unconditional love, for example the love a mother gives to her child and the love between two life partners. To love unconditionally, you will have to learn to sacrifice(牺牲) yourself and your desires and also realize that someone may have a different way of showing his or her love for you.
Realize it can be lost. If you realize that you can lose the one you love, then you have a greater appreciation of what you have. Don’t make an idol of the person you love. This will place them under unnecessary pressure and will likely result in you losing them.
Never stop loving. Even if you have been hurt before, you should not stop giving love.
A.Try loving just for the sake of love. |
B.Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. |
C.There are many different ways to explain love. |
D.Think how lucky you are to have someone to love. |
E. Do not expect to be loved back in exactly the same way.
F. It does not make you a bad person to desire someone else’s love.
G. There are many different ways to love someone (or even yourself).
