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 misinformation 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 bad people
D、recognizing human faces
答案
D
解析
细节题。显然问题中的gift应该理解成“天赋”,而不是“礼物”。依据文章第一段第四句“Yet a very young child—or even an animal,such as a pigeon—can learn to recognize faces.”可知选项D最符合题意。
