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 might NOT be the question of the experiment mentioned in paragraph three? ______
选项
A、How attractive is the one you love?
B、How do you rate the photo of the one you love?
C、How attractive is the one you love to the opposite sex?
D、How attractive is your husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend is to the opposite sex?
答案
A
解析
此题问的是哪一个选项可能不是第三段实验中的提问,属于事实细节题。原文中有两处可以帮助我们找到正确答案,一是“Questions included how attractive their husband,wife,boyfriend or girlfriend was to the opposite sex, and how they rated compared with others of the sameage”,此句意思是指,“问题包括他们的丈夫、妻子、男朋友、女朋友对于其他异性具有多大的吸引力,以及同其他同龄人相比,他们能得多少分”,由此我们可以判断C和D都是正确的,其实这两个选项表达的是同一个意思。再由原文的另外一处,“Some of those taking parts also rated photos oftheir partners”(部分参与这项调查的人还为其伴侣的照片打分)可以判断B项也是正确的。只有A项是原文所没有提到的,也可以通过排除法排除。所以,此题的正确答案是A项。
