Sample Answer:When people talk about feeling excited, there are several psychological and social dimensions we can explore. From a cognitive perspective, excitement triggers the release of dopamine, which creates that "high" feeling. But socially, it often serves as a social signal - like when someone gets excited about a promotion, they might share that emotion with colleagues to strengthen workplace connections.
For example, in my previous job, when our team won a national award, everyone's excitement transformed into collective energy that boosted productivity for months. This phenomenon is supported by research from the University of California, showing that shared excitement can increase group performance by up to 30%.
However, there's a potential downside. Overexcitement can lead to poor decision-making - I remember a friend who invested all his savings in a hyped-up startup after a conference, only to lose everything. This connects to the concept of "irrational exuberance" studied by behavioral economists.
In terms of personal development, controlled excitement is crucial. When I prepared for my IELTS exam, I used techniques like "excitement stacking" - breaking big goals into smaller milestones where each achievement generated兴奋感. This approach, inspired by Angela Duckworth's growth mindset research, helped me maintain motivation throughout the 6-month preparation period.
Would you say modern technology amplifies or dampens our experience of excitement? I've noticed how virtual reality headsets can create more intense emotional responses than traditional methods, but this also risks creating unrealistic expectations.

高分技巧:
使用专业术语:dopamine surge, emotional valence, cognitive dissonance
数据支撑:"studies show..." "research indicates..."
理论引用:Angela Duckworth, UC San Diego
批判思维:展示多角度分析能力
跨学科联系:心理学+经济学+教育学
常见问题变体及应答思路:Q: What makes people excited about new technologies? → 技术革新(AI/VR)→ 认知升级→ 社交影响→ 潜在风险
Q: Is childhood excitement important for learning? → 神经可塑性窗口期→ 兴奋→ 记忆编码→ 教育应用
Q: Are people today more or less excited than before? → 感官刺激阈值↑→ 情绪钝化现象→ 研究数据对比
建议根据个人经历选择2-3个最具说服力的案例,用STAR法则(Situation-Task-Action-Result)结构化描述,同时注意:
每段不超过3个论点
使用逻辑连接词(Furthermore, Paradoxically, Notably)
保持每分钟120-150词的语速
自然穿插长难句(含条件句/虚拟语气)
考前可练习将模板内容转化为故事叙述, "When I first used ChatGPT, the兴奋感 was similar to discovering a new tool in a survival situation. It changed how I approached problem-solving - this aligns with the 'excitement curve' theory where initial novelty drives adoption."
