问题     Now our biggest summertime question has been answered: Why do people look so much better in sunglasses? Vanessa Brown, a senior lecturer of art and design at Nottingham Trent University, gave an inside look into the connection between shades and sex appeal.
    According to Brown, sunglasses do a wide variety of positive things. They make up for any asymmetries(不对称), which relates directly to research proving that symmetrical faces are the most attractive ones. If you put on a pair of sunglasses, the lenses will instantly create a perfectly symmetrical face. Sunglasses also create the appearance of a defined bone structure on top of a relatively softer face.
    Additionally, people often form quick judgments about others by looking into their eyes. Through eye contact, we can determine someone’s confidence, sincerity and intelligence. If those eyes are shielded, though, a person is automatically unreadable.
    We take them for granted today, but sunglasses are a relatively modern everyday accessory(饰件). Sales started to pick up in the 1920s, but they didn’t become commonplace until about two decades after that. In their early days sunglasses were primarily used during risky water and snow sports, and were also associated with new technologies like airplane travel, which made them seem "daring and thoroughly modern".
    Later Hollywood stars of the 1950s and 60s started wearing sunglasses to defend themselves from being recognized by the public or harassed by paparazzi(狗仔队). Movie stars’ adoption of the accessory strengthened the link between sunglasses and appeal.
Sunglasses make us look appealing by______.
选项 A、covering our tiredness
B、creating a softer face
C、improving our facial appearance
D、protecting our eyes
答案C
解析 归纳题。通过命题顺序和题干中的look appealing回到原文定位到第二段第二句的attractive处。该句的意思是：太阳镜会弥补不对称的脸型，而研究表明，对称的脸型最有吸引力。该段最后一句也是太阳镜让我们看上去更吸引人的原因之一：太阳镜能在相对柔和的面庞上打造轮廓分明的形象。因此归纳起来，C选项(提升我们的面部形象)是正确答案。
