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] Which of the following is the major point of the passage?
选项
A、Why it is necessary to identify people’ s personality.
B、Why it is possible to describe people.
C、How to get to know people.
D、How best to recognize people.
答案
B
解析
文章主题题型。本问主要讨论的是:因为人和人的面孔和性格的不同,或者说是身体特征和言谈举止的方式不同,我们才能对人加以区分和描述,尽管人的面孔与别人的不同之处很难完全描述出来,而人的性格却相对容易刻画。所以选项 B“我们为什么能描述人”正确。
