问题           You must be very careful when a woman asks you how she looks because you will never come up with a right answer. The problem is that women generally do not think of their looks in the same way that men do. Most men form all opinion of how they look in seventh grade, and they stick to it for the rest of their lives. Most of them think of themselves as average-looking. But that does not bother them.
          Women do not look at themselves this way. No matter how attractive a woman may appear to be to others, they think of their appearance as "not good enough". Why do women have such low self-esteem? There are many complex psychological and societal reasons, but one reason might be that women grow up thinking they need to look like Barbie doll. This is a difficult appearance standard to live up to, although there is a multibillion-dollar beauty industry devoted to convincing women that they must try.
          I’ m not saying men are superior, but you are not going to get a group of middle-aged men who apply cosmetics (化妆品) to themselves in the hope of looking more like Brad Pitt. Men would realize that this task is pointless and meaningless. Of course many women will argue that men, being shallow, want them to look that way. As I see, hey, just because we’re idiots, that doesn’t mean you have to be.
          So if you are a man, and a woman asks you how she looks, you can’t say she looks bad. But you also can’t say she looks great, because she’ll think you’re lying. Also, she suspects that you’re not qualified to judge anybody’s appearance. This is because you have shaving cream in your hair.
What is men’s proper reaction when a woman asks how she looks, according to this passage?

选项 A、To make a moderate comment on her looks.
B、To keep silent or change a topic.
C、To tell the woman that she is ugly.
D、To tell the truth.

答案A

解析 根据最后一段前两句“So if you are a man.. you can’ t say she looks bad. But you also can’t say she looks great…”可知,当一位女士问你(假如你是一位男士)她长得怎么样时,你不能说她长得很丑,你也不能说她长得很漂亮,因为她会觉得你在撒谎。由此可推知,正确的做法是对她的容貌做适度的评价。故选A。
