An nline research shwed that peple believed having the chice t jump thrugh parts f a vide r switch (转换) t a different ne culd make watching vides less bring — the exact reasn why peple use TikTk r YuTube. But researchers have fund that switching t anther vide, r jumping frwards and backwards in the same ne, actually makes peple mre bred.
Dr. Kate Tam at the University f Trnt Scarbrugh, the lead authr f the research, explained that bredm (无聊) is clsely cnnected t ur ability t pay attentin. “We feel bred when there is a gap between hw fcused we are and hw fcused we want t be,” she said. When peple keep mving quickly thrugh vides, they becme less fcused with the vides and start lking fr smething mre exciting. This can lead t increased feelings f bredm.
T test this idea, the researchers did an experiment which invlved ver 500 undergraduates. One grup watched a single 10-minute vide withut the chice f switching, while the ther grup have the chice t click (点击) between several five-minute vides. The results shwed that thse wh culd chse between vides felt mre bred.
“Our research shws that while peple switch vides fast t avid bredm, this behaviur can actually make them feel mre bred,” Dr. Tam cncluded. She cmpared the experience t watching a mvie in a cinema, where immersin leads t enjyment. Similarly, true enjyment frm nline vides ften cmes frm fcusing urselves in the vides, nt frm endlessly mving quickly thrugh it. This finding suggests that, smetimes, having fewer chices might actually be better fr ur fcus and enjyment.
12. Why des the authr mentin the nline research in paragraph 1?
A. T intrduce the new finding.B. T supprt an ld idea.
C. T shw the authr’s pinin.D. T give an interesting example.

B. By asking peple abut their favrite vides.
C. By checking hw lng peple culd fcus n a vide.
D. By cmparing grups with and withut the chice t switch.
14. What des the underlined wrd “immersin” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Full attentin.B. Great pleasure.
C. Shrt memry.D. Quick respnse.
15. What is the main idea f the passage?
A. Watching vides n TikTk r YuTube brings fun.
B. Bredm mainly results frm fcusing n lng vides.
C. Switching vides increases rather than reduces bredm.
D. Watching vides in cinemas is mre enjyable than watching nline.
