10 . “Being a sports fan is a very psychologically healthy activity,” says Daniel Wann, professor at Murray State University whose research program centers on the psychology of sport fandom (运动迷). Fandom connects us with other like-minded people, which satisfies our human need for belonging, he says.

“These relationships are significant: People who identify as sports fans have higher levels of self-esteem (自尊), lower levels of loneliness and tend to be more satisfied with their lives compared to those who aren’t interested in sports,” Wann says. Fans tend to have more access to social support, help and resources as well. Research suggests that when people have support from their communities, they have better health. Of course, teams sometimes lose. Prior to a sporting event, there’s at least a 50-50 chance that you’re going to be disappointed in your outcome.

So, why do people continue to put their faith behind teams that tend to lose? People who feel a strong psychological connection with a team are more likely to root for a team when they’re having a losing season. For example, if a pizza restaurant continually got your order wrong, you’d likely switch to a more reliable restaurant. But because being a fan is so central to people’s identities, people are willing to accept defeat and continue to be loyal to a team.

Being part of a fan community can also help people cope with losses. A 2019 study found that watching a football game with other fans helps to relieve the negative psychological effects of losing. For fans of the losing team, sharing the pain may have protected them from losing self-esteem.

“There are other things that brings with it above and beyond the ability to enjoy the team’s successes. Watching sports can be a way to relieve stress, or spend time with family,” Wann says. Any sort of fandom can be distracting, but Wann says that talking about sports at work and spending time with people who share a common interest can make people more excited to go to work.

1. What is the characteristic sports fans generally bear?

A．Higher sense of self-worth.	B．Worse health conditions.
C．Being ready to help others.	D．Few means of support.

2. Why do fans continue to support teams that tend to lose?

A．Fans are forced to be loyal to teams.

B．Fans are good at sharing pains with teams.

C．Fans are brave enough to accept losses.

D．Fans own a great sense of identity and belonging.

3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Wann?

A．Sport fandom makes people too excited to go to work.

B．Sport fandom leads to distraction.

C．Sport fandom improves interpersonal relationship.

D．Sport fandom makes people more successful.

4. What is this passage most likely from?

A．A poster.

B．A textbook.

C．A novel.

D．A magazine.
