Ⅲ.概要写作阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要2018·浙江嘉兴四月模考)Why do people like what they like?Scientists have taken on the task of solving this mystery (奥秘) for ages.In the 1960s,psychologist Robert Zajonc conducted a series of experiments where he showed people nonsense words and random shapes.Afterward he asked his subjects which they preferred out of everything they had been shown.In study after study,people always chose the words and shapes they had seen the most.Their preference was for familiarity.This discovery was one of the most important findings in modern psychology.But the preference for familiarity has clear limits.People get tired of even their favorite songs and movies.On the one hand,humans seek familiarity,because it makes them feel safe.On the other hand,people love the thrill of something new.This change between familiarity and discovery affects us all the time—not just our preferences for pictures and songs,but also our preferences for ideas and even people.For that reason,the power of familiarity seems to be the strongest when a person isn’t expecting it.The opposite is also true:a surprise seems to work best when it contains some familiarity.Nobody knows this better than Raymond Loewy,who is considered to be the “father of industrial design.” He had a theory that he said could help artists sell anything to anyone.He called it MAYA—Most Advanced Yet Acceptable.“To sell something surprising,make it familiar;and to sell something familiar,make it surprising,” he said.One of Loewy’s final tasks was to add an element(要素) of familiarity to a truly new invention:NASA’s first space station.Loewy’s biggest contribution to the space station was that he insisted NASA install a window with a view of Earth.Today,tens of millions of people have seen this small detail in films about astronauts.It is hard to imagine a better example of MAYA:a window to a new world can also show you home. 参考范文After years of research,psychologist Robert discovered that familiarity accounted for people’s preference.(要点1) However,our preference is always affected by the change between familiarity and surprise.(要点2) Loewy showed a full understanding of this and created MAYA,a theory helping increase sales.(要点3) His design of NASA’s first space station is considered a perfect example of the theory.(要点4)。
