Anthropology is the study of human beings as creatures of society. It fastens its attention upon those physical characteristics and industrial techniques, those conventions and values, which distinguish one community from all others that belong to a different tradition.
The distinguishing mark of anthropology among the social sciences is that it includes for serious study other societies than our own. For its purposes and social regulation of mating and reproduction is as significant as our own, though it may be that of the Sea Dyaks, and have no possible historical relation to that of our civilization. To the anthropologist, our customs and those of a new Guinea tribe are two possible social schemes for dealing with a common problem, and in so far as he remains an anthropologist he is bound to avoid any weighting of one in favor of the other. He is interested in human behavior, not as it is shaped by one tradition, our own, but as it has been shaped by any tradition whatsoever. He is interested in a wide range of custom that is found in various cultures, and his object is to understand the way in which these cultures change and differentiate, the different forms through which they express themselves and the manner in which the customs of peoples function in the lives of the individuals.
Now custom has not been commonly regarded as a subject of any great moment. The inner workings of our own brains we feel to be uniquely worthy of investigation, but custom, we have a way of thinking, is behavior more astonishing than what any one person can ever evolve in individual actions. Yet that is a rather trivial aspect of the matter. The fact of first-rate importance is the predominant role that custom plays in experience and belief, and the very great varieties it may manifest.
In the third paragraph, the author is trying______.
选项
A、to be critical of custom
B、to say that anthropology is more important than psychology
C、to strengthen the role custom plays in experience and belief
D、to draw our attention to the importance of custom
答案
D
解析
本题问作者在第三段中试图说明什么。文章第三段指出,目前,习俗还没有被公认为重要的研究对象,我们认为人的大脑机能特别值得研究,但是,却错误地认为习俗没有什么特别值得研究的。事实恰恰相反,传统习惯是由一组复杂缜密的行为组成的,是任何个体无法创造的,比任何个体行为都不可思议。但是,所有这一切都是文化习俗的次要特征,最重要的事实是:习俗在人的体验和信仰中发挥决定性作用,呈现出丰富多样性。可见,本段旨在说明研究习俗的重要性及其意义。因此,本题的正确答案应是D“使我们意识到习俗的重要性”。
