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 the passage, it is possible for us to tell one type of person from another because ______.
选项
A、people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics
B、human fingerprints provide unique information
C、people’ s behavior can be easily described in words
D、human faces have complex features
答案
A
解析
本题要求给出文章提及的我们能区分不同的人的原因。根据文章第二段可知,我们能区分不同的人,不仅是因为人和人的外表不同,也是因为每个人的言谈举止思维感受的方式有别于其他人。所以选项A“人们的行为和身体特性不同”为正确答案。选项B“人的指纹提供了独特的信息”和C“人的行为容易用语言来描述”显然都不对。选项D“人脸的复杂性”只是作者所说的原因之一,不如选项A来得全面。
