In which paragraph does the author
1 mention a particular type of personality?
2 show how a group of people are deceived by appearance?
3 question the scientific value of common opinion?
4 describe how looks can influence a person’s character?  /4

A Have you ever looked at a stranger’s face and immediately formed in your mind certain expectations about that person’s
character? The idea that dominant personality traits will show in a person’s face has a long history and is still commonplace
all over the world, which has been confirmed by numerous studies. There is, however, no scientific evidence to endorse this
popular belief. Why should people with small eyebrows, such as the cunning Uriah Heep created by Charles Dickens, be less
trustworthy? A well-known British psychologist, Professor David Perrett, tries to look at the matter from a different angle.
B In his book, In Your Face: the New Science of Human Attraction, Perrett puts forward a theory according to which it might
be the face, or more generally, appearance, that influences human personality rather than vice versa. He argues that how we
see ourselves depends on how we are treated by those around us. His studies have shown that a lot of people who consider
themselves to be extroverts have received positive response from those around them and thus have taught themselves to
be confident and outgoing. Perrett also suggests that the process may start very early. A young boy with a masculine face
and a strong build will be treated with more respect by other children. As a result, he will develop a typically masculine
personality.
C One important conclusion that emerges from the studies by Professor Perrett is that we might easily be misled by our
ability to read people’s faces. In his research, Perrett has provided some examples of legal trials when it was difficult for
the juries to find baby-faced criminals guilty of fraud or other money-related crimes. Perrett also points out that the only
sensible tip to look beautiful is to be a ‘valuable social partner’, which, unlike lots of beautifying creams and lotions, really
works.
