问题                     How We Form First Impression
    We all have first impression of someone we just met.【B1】______Why do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or her—aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits?
    The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world. Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits, even very minor difference in how a person’ s eyes, ears, nose, or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as different. In fact, your brain continuously processes incoming sensory information—the sights and sounds of your world. These incoming "signals" are compared against a host of "memories" stored in the brain areas called the cortex(大脑皮层)system to determine what these new signals "mean".
    If you see someone you know and like at school, your brain says "familiar and safe".【B2】______ Then your brain starts to match features of this stranger with other "known" memories. The height, weight, dress, ethnicity, gestures, and tone of voice are all matched up. The more unfamiliar the characteristics, the more your brain may say, "This is new. I don’ t like this person. "【B3】______Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes, ethnicity, gestures—like your other friends; so your brain says: " I like this person. "【B4】______
    When we stereotype people, we use a less mature form of thinking(not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child)that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others. Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people—their history, interest, values, strengths, and true character—we categorize them as jocks, geeks, or freaks.
    【B5】______If we spend time with a person, hear about his or her life, hopes, dreams, and
become aware of the person’ s character, we use a different, more mature style of thinking—and the most complex areas of our cortex, which allow us to be humane.
A. However, if we resist initial stereotypical impressions, we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like.
B. But why?
C. But these preliminary "impressions" can be dead wrong.
D. If you see someone new, it says, "new-potentially threatening".
E. The way we stereotype people is a less mature form of thinking, which is similar to the immature form of a very young child.
F. Or else, "I’m intrigued.
【B4】
选项
答案C
解析 结合语境可知，第三段讲的主要是见到陌生人的第一印象，最后一句应是总括句，第四段又讲到第一印象的弊端，所以可以推测出空格处应得出结论，即第一印象或许会完全错误，所以选择C项。
