Have you ever had an experience where you meet someone new, learn their name and think to yourself, "Wow, they really look just like their name!" What does this mean, exactly? Scientists are suggesting that humans tend to associate people's names with their appearance, and can even guess someone's name based on how they look.

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel collected thousands of photos of people faces. They labeled (贴标签)each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.

The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time. It seems that humans are able to recognize certain characteristics of faces that can give them clues (线索)about someone's name, Reader's Digest reported.

However, this only works when we're looking at names within our own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames (昵称) more often than their real names. This shows that a person's appearance is affected by their name only if they use it often.

This kind of face- -name matching happens because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy(自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become," Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website EurekAlert.

Previous studies have shown that gender and race (种族)stereotypes (刻板印象)can affect a person's appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round,people may think that women named rose are beautiful. They expect them to be delicate and feminine, just like the flower they are named for.

1.What does the passage mainly tells?

A.People can guess others' names based on their appearance.

B.A person's appearance can be affected by three factors.

C.There are several ways to guess a stranger's name.

D.It's not polite to ask strangers about their names.

2.Dr. Ruth Mayo thinks some people look like their names because of ________.

A.racial stereotypes B.their unique culture

C.a self-fulfilling prophecy D.their living environment

3.According to the passage, men named Bob are expected to ________.

A.wear glasses B.have big eyes C.look beautiful D.have round faces

4.What do we know from this research?

A.Nicknames have a bigger influence on people's appearance.

B.Gender and race have no influence on a person's appearance.

C.The volunteers guessed nearly four names correctly out often.

D.People are good at recognizing the different characteristics of faces.

I remember a time I went shopping on my first visit to Hongkong. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt. Not having many chances to enjoy the sun in the UK, my legs were very white. In the UK, this is not a fashionable look at all. Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin is, the better the look is. I have tried to get darker but nothing works for me!

As I walked around one shop, two shop girls didn’t take their eyes off me the whole time, talking quietly to each other in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave. After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong. I complained（抱怨） about the shop girls being very rude and always looking at my legs. I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin. My friend laughed, “they weren’t laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours. In fact, there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin white and a lot of money is spent on them."

It just goes to show that we are never happy with what we have. The grass is always greener on other side. If the woman of the west and east thought the same way, western women wouldn’t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the east wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter.

1.The writer had white legs because __________.

A.She spent so much money on her legs

B.She lived in a cold and cloudy country

C.She wanted them to be white

D.She didn’t like dark skin

2.What does the underlined （划线的） word in the first paragraph mean in Chinese?

A.时尚的 B.和谐的 C.好玩的 D.有气质的

3.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

A.People are always happy with what they have.

B.The grass on both sides is green.

C.People in the west have the best skin.

D.People are always unhappy with what they have.
