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. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use misinformation as a basis for describing, or typing his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types—people are described 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 villain’s (坏人) 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 appearance as well as in actions.
According to the passage, it is possible for us to tell one type of person from another because ______.
选项
A、people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics
B、human fingerprints provide unique information
C、people’s behavior can be easily described in words
D、human faces have complex features
答案
A
解析
细节题。本题要求判断区分不同类型的人为何是“可能的”原因。从文章第二段“We also tell people apart by how they behave…in which he or she acts,speaks,thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.”可以看出,区分不同种类的人也可根据人的行为特征,包括他的举止,言谈,思考以及感受方式。再根据第一段和文章的最后一句“But we can easily tell the‘good guys’from the‘bad guys’because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.”可以看出人的外表也是各不相同的。综上得出结论:之所以能够区分不同类型的人是因为人们的外表特征以及行为特点都不相同。所以选项A符合题意,是正确选项。
