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.
Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the first paragraph?
选项
A、When people are in love, they are unable to see things that are obvious to others.
B、People in love tend to be unaware of physical weakness of their partners.
C、To those who are physically weak, they do not notice love.
D、When speaking of physical flaws, love is not reasonable.
答案
B
解析
此题问的是对第一段话的解释,属于语义推断题。第一段话“Love really is blindwhen it comes to physical flaws,it would seem”的大概意思是说,陷入爱情的人似乎确实看不见对方生理上的缺陷。接着从第二段的研究结果及举例中,我们可以深刻地理解这句话的意思,即当两个人相爱时,他们通常没有看到对方身上的身体缺陷。A项看似是正确的,实则是干扰项,因为原文说的是相爱的人没能看到对方的身体缺陷,而不是“对其他人显而易见的所有事情”:C和D项的表达的有意思与短文相距太远;只有B项最贴近第一段表达的意思,所以答案为B。
