3.Faces,like fingerprints,are unique.Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people?Even a skilled writer probably couldn't 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,moderate,friendly,warm and so on.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks,feels and acts.Gordon Allport,an American psychologist,found nearly 18,000English 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 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.
54.By using the example of fingerprints,the author tells us thatD.
A.people can learn to recognize faces
B.people have different personalities
C.people have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprints

A.telling people apart by how they behave
B.typing each other
C.telling good people from bad people
D.recognizing human faces
56.Who most probably knows best how to describe people's personality?B
A.The ancient Greek audience.
B.The movie actors.
C.Psychologists.
D.The modern TV audience.
57.According to the passage,it is possible for us to tell one type of    person from another becauseD.
A.human faces have complex features
B.human fingerprints provide unique information
C.people's behavior can be easily described in words
D.people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics.

13.How men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words,the origin of language is a mystery.All we really know is that men,unlike animals,somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings,actions and things,so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs,they called letters,which could be combined to represent those sounds,and which could be written down.Those sounds,whether spoken,or written in letters,we call words.
The power of words,then,lies in their associations-the things they bring up before our minds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live,the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn,the more the number of words that mean something to us increase.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings.This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style.Above all,the real poet is a master of words.He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music,and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately,or they make our speech silly and rude.

A.The History of Words
