Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people. Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.
We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’ s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’ s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a "nice face" looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a "nice person" ,you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’ s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.
People have always tried to "type" each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’ s(坏人)or the hero’s role. In fact, the words" person" and "personality" come from the Latin persona, meaning "mask". Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions. [br] According to this passage, some animals have the gift of ______.
选项
A、telling people apart by how they behave
B、typing each other
C、telling good people from had people
D、recognizing human faces
答案
D
解析
问题问的是“根据文章,有些动物具有 ______ 的天赋。”根据文章第一段末尾Yet a very young child-of even an animal,such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize face,we all take this ability for granted.说明小孩甚至是动物天生就有识别脸孔的能力,所以选项D正确。其他三个选项在文章中都曾提及,但说的都是人的能力,故不是正确答案。
