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, an American psychologist, 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（保守派）, military（军人或军事的）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 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.

答案

6---10    DACDD

　　

解析：

6．D 主旨大意题。根据文章的整体内容可以看出，文章是在讲述如何描述人的内在和外在的特征。

7．A 推断题。根据文章所谈到的内容，可以推断出作者是一位心理学家，另外，文章第三段还提到了“Gordon, an American psychologist”.

8. C 判断题。文章第一段第三句提到“Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another.”故 C项说法不对。

9．D 细节推断题。根据文章第三段第二提到“Gordon, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior.”

10. D 推断题。根据文章内容，作者从人的外在特征和内在性格特征来描述不同的人，文章最后一段第一句也说明这一点，因此可以推断出人们是根据外在特征和内在特征来把人分类的。
