Question 51 of 67
51. Question
Read the passage carefully and answer the question
that follows.Curiosity is as clear and definite as any of our urges.
We wonder what is in a sealed telegram or in a letter
which someone else is absorbed or what is being said
in the telephone booth or in low conversation. This
inquisitiveness is vastly stimulated by jealousy.
Suspicion or any hint that we ourselves are directly
or indirectly involved in. But there appears to be a
fair amount of personal interest in other people’s
affairs even when they do not concern us except as a
mystery to be unravelled or a tale to be told. The
reports of a divorce suit will have news ‘value’ for
many weeks, They constitute a story like a novel, a
play or a moving picture. This is not an example of
pure curiosity. However, since we readily identify
ourselves with others’ their joys and despair then
become our own concern.Adapted from Harris, W. and L.G Wilson (1963) The
University Handbook,New York: Holt Rinehart and
Winston Which of the following statements is true
