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.
Who most probably knows best how to describe people’s personality?
选项
A、The ancient Greek audience.
B、The movie actors.
C、Psychologists.
D、The modern TV audience.
答案
B
解析
细节题。关键句为文章第五段第四、五句“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 appearances as well as in actions.”文章第四段提及了Gordon Allport,一个美国心理学家,但不能由他推断出所有心理学家都懂得描述人的性格特征。故C项不妥,而B项最符合题意。
