Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pigeon,can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.
We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a "nice face" looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so.
But if you were asked to describe a "nice person", you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Fordin Allport, an American psychologists, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types people and deserved with such terms.
People have always tried to "type" each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villains or the hero’s role. In fact, the words "person" and "personality" come from the Latin persona, meaning "mask". Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" because the two types differ in appearances as well as in actions.
By using the example of finger prints, the author tells us that ______.
选项
A、people can learn to recognize faces
B、people have different personalities
C、people have difficulty in describing the feature of finger prints
D、people differ from each other in facial features
答案
D
解析
依据文章第一段第一行“faces,like finger prints are unique”(人的面孔就象指纹一样是独一无二的),作者是用指纹这个例子来说明人与人的脸都是不同的,每个人的脸都是独特的。所以D项符合题意。
