阅读理解 If you exhibit positive characteristics such as honesty and helpfulness, the chances are that you will be thought as a good-looking person, for a new study has found that the perception （认知） of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person's personality． The study, which was led by Gary W．Lewandowski, has found that people who exhibit negative characteristics, such as unfairness and rudeness, appear to be less physically attractive to observers．In the study, the participants viewed photographs of opposite-sex individuals and rated them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information about their personalities． After personality information was received, participants also rated the probability of each individual' s becoming a friend and a dating partner．Information on personality was found to significantly change the probability, showing that cognitive （认知的） processes modify （修改） judgments of attractiveness． Thinking a person as having a desirable personality makes the person more suitable in general as a close relationship partner of any kind, said Lewandowski． The findings show that a positive personality leads to greater expectation of becoming friends, which leads to greater expectation of becoming romantic partners and, finally, to being viewed as more physically attractive．The findings remained consistent regardless of how attractive the individual was formerly thought to be or of the participants' current relationship status． This research provides a positive outcome by reminding people that personality goes a long way toward determining your attractiveness; it can even change people's impressions of how good-looking you are, said Lewandowski．1.In the study the participants were required to _____．A.try to make friends with each otherB.try to prove positive characters make people more attractiveC.exhibit negative characters such as unfairness and rudenessD.rate one's attractiveness by photos before and after knowing her or his personality2.Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?A.The research reminds people to pay more attention to the personality．B.Personality can change people's impressions of one's appearance．C.The judgment of one's attractiveness always stays unchanged．D.Positive personality may lead to more friends．3.The passage is written in a（n） _____ tone．A.subjectiveB.objectiveC.skepticalD.negative4.Who are the intended readers of this passage?A.People with positive characteristics．B.Good-looking people．C.People with negative characteristics．D.General people．

DBCD解析试题分析：文章讲述了人的性格可能会影响人们对他外貌的看法。1.细节题。根据第二段3,4行In the study, the participants viewed photographs of opposite-sex individuals and rated them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information about their personalities．说明D正确。2.推理题。根据第一段最后一行the perception （认知） of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person's personality．说明人的性格只能影响认知，而不能改变对外貌的印象。故B说法错误。3.写作态度题。A主观的；B客观的；C怀疑性的；D消极的；根据文章倒数第二段最后两行The findings remained consistent regardless of how attractive the individual was formerly thought to be or of the participants' current relationship status．说明作者是用一种不确定的语气写本篇文章。故C说法正确。4.目的意图题。根据本文第一段内容可知本文并没有针对特定的人群，而是面对大众来讲的。故D正确。考点：考查社会现象类短文点评：这篇文章比较抽象，关键在于理解，理解了文章主旨后，所有的问题迎刃而解。
