Some people like watching horror films (恐怖电影), even though the films scare them so much that they end up screaming. Why do some people love scary things? A group of scientists at the University of Pittsburgh in the US found that fear can sometimes be good for us. It can raise our mood (情绪) and help us become more confident.
In their study, 262 volunteers went into a haunted (闹鬼的) house attraction. They stayed there for 35 minutes and came across many scary things. Both before and after the experience, they reported how they were feeling.
The results showed that most of the volunteers felt happier and less anxious (焦虑的) after the experience. This has to do with dopamine (多巴胺), something that the brain produces. It makes people feel excited, and this effect can last even after the danger has passed, according to National Geographic.
What was more, being scared in a safe place could be a good way to boost (增强) our confidence, explained Margee Kerr, one of the study's authors. It made the volunteers feel confident that they could handle a scary situation in real life. It helped them deal with the fears we all have.
More than that, fear helps create strong social bonds (社会纽带). In scary situations, people are more likely to feel unsure about the future. As a result, they stick together and depend more on each other for support. Scientists call this a "tend-and-befriend system". It means in scary situations, people help their friends and make new ones, which makes them feel better and more protected. A good example of this is soldiers who fight side by side in war.

请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
有些人喜欢看恐怖电影，尽管这些电影把他们吓得大叫起来。为什么有些人喜欢恐怖的事物呢？美国匹兹堡大学的一组科学家发现，恐惧有时对我们是有好处的。它能改善我们的情绪，还能帮助我们变得更自信。
在他们的研究中，262名志愿者进入了一个鬼屋景点。他们在那里待了35分钟，遇到了很多恐怖的事物。在体验前后，他们都报告了自己的感受。
结果显示，大多数志愿者在体验后感觉更快乐，也没那么焦虑了。这和大脑产生的多巴胺有关。据《国家地理》报道，多巴胺会让人感到兴奋，而且这种效果即使在危险过去后也会持续。
此外，该研究的作者之一玛吉·克尔解释说，在安全的地方感到害怕可能是增强我们自信心的好方法。这让志愿者们觉得自己有信心在现实生活中应对恐怖的情况。这有助于他们应对我们都有的恐惧。
不仅如此，恐惧还有助于建立牢固的社会纽带。在恐怖的情况下，人们更有可能对未来感到不确定。因此，他们会团结在一起，更依赖彼此获得支持。科学家们把这称为“照顾和交友系统”。这意味着在恐怖的情况下，人们会帮助他们的朋友并结交新朋友，这会让他们感觉更好、更有安全感。战争中并肩作战的士兵就是一个很好的例子。
（ ）1. 这项研究主要是关于什么的？
A. 一些摆脱压力的技巧。
B. 恐惧对人的积极影响。
C. 一些应对恐惧的有效方法。
D. 恐怖电影爱好者的性格。
（ ）2. 研究人员从他们的研究中发现了什么？
A. 很多人觉得很难被吓到。
B. 人们在害怕的时候会感到兴奋。
C. 更快乐的人可能喜欢恐怖电影。
D. 恐怖电影会减少多巴胺的产生。
（ ）3. 玛吉·克尔的观点是什么？
A. 害怕既有坏处也有好处。
B. 我们害怕的时候应该依靠自己。
C. 如果人们经常看恐怖电影，就不会害怕了。
D. 在安全的地方看恐怖电影会让人自信。
（ ）4. 我们从最后一段能学到什么？
A. 恐惧有助于把人们聚集在一起。
B. 很多人喜欢感到不确定。
C. 恐怖电影有时有教育意义。
D. 恐怖的情况能让人变得更聪明。
