问题    The process of perceiving other people is rarely translated (to ourselves or others) into cold, objective terms. "She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt." More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas and characters. Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly—perhaps with a two-second glance.
   We try to obtain information about others in many ways. Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others: watching, without being noticed, a person interacting with others, particularly with others who are known to you so you can compare the observed person’s behavior with the known others’ behavior; observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for; deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person’s responses to specific stimuli; asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about him or her; and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person-questions, self-disclosures (自我表露), and so on.
   Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise. You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him. If we accept the idea that we won’t ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions. It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior. Ironically those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e.g., secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of satisfying relationship as those things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e.g., disclosure and truthful statements).
It can be inferred from Berger’s suggestions that______.
选项 A、people do not reveal their true self on every occasion
B、in most cases we should avoid contacting the observed person directly
C、the best way to know a person is by making comparisons
D、face-to-face interaction is the best strategy to uncover information about a person
答案B
解析 根据题干定位至原文第二段第二句，作者罗列了Berger提到的诸多方法。因为这些方法都是采用分号隔开，所以是在分别解释每种做法的具体实施方式，并且都是彼此并列的关系。其中罗列的大多数方式都是提醒人们避开与你想了解的人的面对面交流，即符合选项[B]所说的内容。选项[A]是将下一段的内容拿来做干扰，指出人们不是在所有场合下都真实地展现自己。选项[C]和[D]都含有最高级的信息the best way和the best strategy，但在文章中并没有看到这种最高级的信息被确认。事实上，作者对罗列的方法并没有进行比较，所以这两个选项是对原文的曲解及无中生有。本题再次体现了推理题的特点。
