How We Form First Impression
We all have first impression of someone we just met. But why? Why do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or her—aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits?
The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world. Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits. Even very minor difference in how a person’ s eyes, ears, nose, or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as different. In fact, your brain continuously processes incoming sensory information—the sights and sounds of your world. These incoming signals are compared against a host of "memories "stored in the brain areas called the cortex(皮质)system to determine what these new signals "mean".
If you see someone you know and like at school, your brain says " familiar and safe". If you see someone new it says, "new and potentially threatening". Then your brain starts to match features of this stranger with other ""known"memories. The height, weight, dress, ethnicity, gestures, and tone of voice are all matched up. The more unfamiliar the characteristics are, the more your brain may say, "This is new, I don’t like this person". Or else, "!’ m intrigued(好奇的)". Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes, ethnicity, gestures—like your other friends; so your brain says, "I like this person". But these preliminary "impressions"can be dead wrong.
When we stereotype people, we use a less mature form of thinking(not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child)that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others. Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people—their history, interest values, strengths, and true character—we categorize them as jocks(骗子), peeks(反常的人), or freaks(怪人).
However, if we resist initial stereotypical impressions, we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like. If we spend time with a person, hear about his or her life, hopes, dreams, and become aware of the person’ s character, we use a different, more mature style of thinking—and the most complex areas of our cortex, which allow us to be humane.
Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
选项
A、One’ s physical appearance can influence our first impression.
B、Our first impression is influenced by the sensitivity of our brain.
C、Stereotypical impressions can be dead wrong.
D、We should adopt mature thinking wrhen getting to know people.
答案
B
解析
文章第一段提出了“为什么我们在还没有真正了解一个人时就已经形成了对他的第一印象?”这个问题;文章第二段前两句说这与大脑如何感知世界是息息相关的,大脑对面部特征十分敏感;文章第二、三和四段进一步论述了这一问题;文章最后一段讲如果我们拒绝模式化的第一印象,那么我们就会用更成熟的思维来了解一个人。由此可看出本文主要讲的是大脑对面部特征的敏锐感知使我们形成了对别人的第一印象。故选B。
