Anthropology is the study of human beings as creatures of society. It fastens its attention upon those physical characteristics and industrial techniques, those conventions and values, which distinguish one community from all others that belong to a different tradition.
The distinguishing mark of anthropology among the social sciences is that it includes for serious study other societies than our own. For its purposes any social regulation of mating and reproduction is as significant as our own, though it may be that of the Sea Dyak, and have no possible historical relation to that of our civilization. To the anthropologist, our customs and those of a New Guinea tribe are two possible social schemes for dealing with a common problem, and in so far as he remains an anthropologist he is bound to avoid any weighting of one in favor of the other. He is interested in human behavior, not as it is shaped by one tradition, our own, but as it has been shaped by any tradition whatsoever. He is interested in a wide range of custom that is found in various cultures, and his object is to understand the way in which these cultures change and differentiate, the different forms through which they express themselves and the manner in which the customs of people function in the lives of the individuals.
Now custom has not been commonly regarded as a subject of any great moment. The inner workings of our own brains we feel to be uniquely worthy of investigation, but custom, we have a way of thinking, is behavior at its most commonplace. As a matter of fact, it is the other way round. Traditional custom is a mass of detailed behavior more astonishing than what any one person can ever evolve in individual actions. Yet that is a rather trivial aspect of the matter. The fact of first-rate importance is the predominant role that custom plays in experience and belief, and the very great varieties it may manifest.
In the third paragraph, the author is trying______.
选项
A、to be critical of custom
B、to say that anthropology is more important than psychology
C、to strengthen the role custom plays in experience and belief
D、to draw our attention to the importance of custom
答案
C
解析
在第三段作者提到“The fact of first—rate importance is the predominant role that custom plays in experience and belief,and the very great varieties it may manifest.”可见作者着重强调的是习俗在人的经验和信仰中所起的作用。C项符合文章的意思。在文中并没有批评习俗,所以A项不对。文中也没有要让我们注意习俗,所以D项不对。B项不是文中表述的内容。所以本题的正确答案为C。
