Have you ever heard someone say, “You completely look like you’re a Jessica” or someone similar? People seem to think that they know what kind of person a “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this?

According to a research in the Journey of personality (個性) and Social Psychology, humans like to connect people’s names with their looks (長相), and can even guess someone’s name according to how they look. Researchers at the Herbrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They put a name under each photo. 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 the faces really give them clues (線索) about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported. However, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames (昵稱) more often than their real names. This may show that a person’s looks are influenced by their name only if they use it often.

This kind of face-name matching happens because we often become what other people expect us to become,” Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website Eurek Alert.

The researchers believe there are also stereotype (刻板印象) about names. For example, the volunteers usually think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. They may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be just like the flowers that they are named for.

1.The purpose of the research is to find out________.

A.how people’s looks influence their names B.if people’s names are related to their looks

C.what the most popular English names are D.if men’s names are different from women’s

A.the women B.the volunteers C.the researchers D.the flowers

A.like to connect their names with their own looks

B.use nicknames more often than their real names
