Love really is blind when it comes to physical flaws, it would seem.
A research conducted by Social Studies Center in University of Hawaii at Manoa suggests that when we love someone, we tend to overlook their crooked noses, big tummies or other attributes that might put others off. As a result, husbands and wives think their other halves are more attractive than they really are. No wonder Chinese has the saying that"Beauty lies in the beholder’s eyes". This phenomenon could also help explain some physically mis-matched couples such as the glamorous Beyonce and Jay-Z, the striking Lara Stone and David Walliams.
The so-called " positive illusion" theory comes from an experiment in which researchers asked 70 couples to rate their other halves for attractiveness. Questions included how attractive their husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend was to the opposite sex, and how they rated compared with others of the same age. The answers were kept secret to prevent any partners being upset and distressed. Some of those taking parts also rated photos of their partners. In addition, members of the public judged the looks of all 140 men and women taking part.
The results revealed that couples view their other halves as being better looking than they really are.
Even asking them to rate pictures of their partners did not give them a reality check, the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships reports.
With previous studies finding that we view our loved ones as being kinder and more intelligent than they actually are, it does seem that love is blind in all sorts of ways. Those studied were young and had been together on average for just two and a half years. The researchers said that more work is needed to see if those in long marriages are still blind to their partner’s physical flaws.
What is the best title for this passage?
选项
A、Love and Physical Flaw
B、How People View Their Partners
C、Love is Blind
D、Researches on Love
答案
C
解析
此题要求选择最符合文章内容的标题,这种题型往往要求我们对全文的中心内容有一定的理解和把握。纵观原文的几个段落,我们可以看出,原文的第一段就指出爱情盲目到无法看到对方身体上的缺陷:第二段紧接着利用研究和例子来说明了这一观点;第三段说明了这一观点是如何通过实验得出的;第四段报告实验的一些结果;第五段对实验操作进行了补充说明及展望。全文都在说明一个中心观点,即“爱情是盲目的”,作者在最后一段通过“it does seem that love is blind in all sorts of ways”进行了强调说明,所以正确答案应该选择C。
