　　原文及答案：

　　While the subway's arrival may be ambiguous, one thingabout your commute is certain: No one wants to talk to each other. In ourcontemporary culture, the prospect of communicating with -- or even looking at-- a stranger is virtually unbearable. Everyone around us seems to agree by theway they fiddle with their phones, even without a 1 signal underground。

　　It's a sad reality -- our desire to avoid interactingwith other human beings -- because there's 2 much to be gained from talking tothe stranger standing by you. But you wouldn't know it,3 plugged into yourphone. This universal armor sends the 4 message: 'Please don't approach me.'

　　What is it that makes us feel we need to hide 5 behindour screens?

　　One answer is fear, according to Jon Wortmann, executivemental coach and author of 'Hijacked by Your Brain: How to Free Yourself WhenStress Takes Over.' We fear rejection, or that our innocent social advanceswill be 6 misinterpreted as 'creepy,' he told The Huffington Post. We fearwe'll be 7 judged. We fear we'll be disruptive。

　　Strangers are inherently8 unfamiliar to us, so we aremore likely to feel 9 anxious when communicating with them compared with ourfriends and acquaintances. To avoid this anxiety, we 10 turn to our phones.'Phones become our security blanket,' Wortmann says. 'They are our happyglasses that protect us from what we perceive is going to be more 11dangerous.'

　　But once we rip off the bandaid, tuck our smartphones inour pockets and look up, it doesn't12 hurt so bad. In one 2011 experiment,behavioral scientists Nicholas Epley and Juliana Schroeder asked commuters todo the unthinkable: Start a 13 conversation. The duo had Chicago traincommuters talk to their fellow14 passengers. 'When Dr. Epley and Ms. Schroederasked other people in the same train station to15 predict how they would feelafter talking to a stranger, the commuters thought their16 ride would be morepleasant if they sat on their own,' the New York Times summarizes. Though theparticipants didn't expect a positive experience, after they17 went throughwith the experiment, 'not a single person reported having been snubbed.'

　　18 In fact, these commutes were reportedly more enjoyablecompared with those sans communication, which makes absolute sense, 19 sincehuman beings thrive off of social connections. It's that 20 simple: Talking tostrangers can make you feel connected. The train ride is a fortuity for socialconnection -- 'the stuff of life,' Wortmann says. Even seemingly trivialinteractions can boost mood and increase the sense of belonging. A studysimilar in hypothesis to Eply and Schroder's published in Social Psychological& Personality Science asked participants to smile, make eye contact andchatwith their cashier. Those who engaged with the cashier experienced bettermoods -- and even reported a better shopping experience than those who avoidedsuperfluous conversation。
