问题     The process of perceiving other people is rarely translated into cold, objective terms. "She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt." More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas and characters. Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very’ quickly—perhaps with a twosecond glance.
    We try to obtain information about others in many ways. Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others: watching, without being noticed, a person interacting with others, particularly with others who are known to you, so you can compare the observed person’s behavior with the known other’s behavior; ob serving a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively un restrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for; deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person’s responses to specific stimuli; asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about him or her; and using various strategies in facetoface interaction to uncover information about another person—questions, selfdisclosures(自我表露), and so on. Getting to know someone is a neverending task, largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise. You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him. If we accept the idea that we won’t ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions. It will also keep us from being too surprised by seemingly inconsistent behavior. Ironically(讽刺性地), those things that keep us from knowing an other person too well (e. g. secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of a satisfying relationship as the things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e.g. disclosures and truthful statements).
In developing personal relationships, secrets and deceptions, in the author’s opinion, are ______.
选项 A、personal matters that should be seriously dealt with
B、barriers that should be done away with
C、as significant as disclosures and truthful statements
D、things people should guard against
答案C
解析 细节判断题。此题考查对原文最后一句话的理解。这句话的意思是“那些使我们无法很好地了解别人的东西(如秘密和欺骗)，与那些使我们能确切了解别人的东西(如表白和真话)同等重要。”选项C)正是这个意思。
