Love really is blind when it comes to physical flaws, it would seem.
A research conducted by Social Studies Center in University of Hawaii at Manoa suggests that when we love someone, we tend to overlook their crooked noses, big tummies or other attributes that might put others off. As a result, husbands and wives think their other halves are more attractive than they really are. No wonder Chinese has the saying that"Beauty lies in the beholder’s eyes". This phenomenon could also help explain some physically mis-matched couples such as the glamorous Beyonce and Jay-Z, the striking Lara Stone and David Walliams.
The so-called " positive illusion" theory comes from an experiment in which researchers asked 70 couples to rate their other halves for attractiveness. Questions included how attractive their husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend was to the opposite sex, and how they rated compared with others of the same age. The answers were kept secret to prevent any partners being upset and distressed. Some of those taking parts also rated photos of their partners. In addition, members of the public judged the looks of all 140 men and women taking part.
The results revealed that couples view their other halves as being better looking than they really are.
Even asking them to rate pictures of their partners did not give them a reality check, the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships reports.
With previous studies finding that we view our loved ones as being kinder and more intelligent than they actually are, it does seem that love is blind in all sorts of ways. Those studied were young and had been together on average for just two and a half years. The researchers said that more work is needed to see if those in long marriages are still blind to their partner’s physical flaws. [br] What does the sentence" Even asking them to rate pictures of their partners did not give them a reality check…" in paragraph four imply? ______
选项
A、Rating the photos of their other halves did not help people to face the reality.
B、When asked to rate the photos of their partners, people did not check the reality.
C、When asked to do the photo-rating for their partners, people did not have an opportunity to see the reality.
D、Love clouds people’s judgment that they were still unable to rate their partners’ photos in a reasonable and objective way.
答案
D
解析
此题问是句子“Even asking them to rate pictures of their partners did not give them a reality check…”的含义,属于语义理解题。这句话的字面意思是说,“即使要他们去给他们伴侣的照片打分,他们也不能作出客观的评判”,结合全文,我们可以知道,盲目的爱情影响了人们的判断,所以即使在评价自己伴侣的照片时,人们仍然无法作出理智客观的判断,即D项所说的内容。A、B和C项中分别所说的“帮助人们面对现实”,“审视现实”和“看见现实”与本文的内容有差别,正确答案为D项。
