綜合類：完形填空The Ideal Husband
Science now might be able to explain women‘s fascination with Brad Pitt’s face and George Clooney‘s eyes. Women seem to 1 potential mates by how masculine their features are， new research shows. Men with square jaws and well-defined brow ridges are seen as good short-term partners，2 those with more feminine traits such as a rounder face and fuller lips are perceived as better long-term mates.
In the study by Daniel Kruger at the US’s University of Michigan， 854 subjects viewed a series of 3 head shots that had been digitally changed to exaggerate or minimize masculine traits They then4 questions about how they expected the men in the photos to behave.
Most participants said that those with more masculine features were 5 to be risky， competitive， and more apt to fight， challenge bosses， cheat on spouses and put less effort into parenting. Those with more feminine 6were seen as good parents and husbands， hard workers and emotionally supportive mates.
But， despite all the negative characteristics， when asked who they would choose for a short-term relationship， women selected the more masculine __ 7men. Brad and George， both chiseled jaws and well-defined brows， then would be good for a 8 romance， not for something longer.
The study was published in the December issue of the US journal Personal Relationships.
Kruger said that from an evolutionary perspective， this 9sense. The key is testosterone， the hormone responsible 10 the development of masculine facial features and other sexual characteristics.

The scientific community have14 skepticism toward physiognomy， which links facial characteristics to certain behavioural traits. But Kruger argues that the research is a valuable tool for understanding mating strategies. And， of course， for explaining why Tony Leung and Takeshi Kanesshiro have millions of female __ 15. It might have to do with their genes. Or something to do with ours.
理想的丈夫
科學(xué)現(xiàn)在可能可以解釋女性對布拉德·皮特面容和喬治·克魯尼眼睛的迷戀。新的研究顯示，女性似乎是根據(jù)男性特征的情況來判斷選擇配偶的。具有方形的下頜和輪廓清晰的眉骨的男性被視為理想的短期伴侶，而具有女性特征比如圓臉和厚嘴唇的男性則被視為更合適的長期伴侶。
丹尼爾在密歇根大學(xué)進行的一項研究中，854個調(diào)查對象觀看了通過數(shù)字化使得男性特征變得更突出或更不顯眼的一系列頭部鏡頭。然后她們回答了期望鏡頭中的男性是如何表現(xiàn)的。
大多數(shù)的調(diào)查對象認(rèn)為那些面部特征更陽剛的男性可能會更危險，更好勝，更好斗，更傾向于挑戰(zhàn)上司，欺騙配偶和不愿意承擔(dān)起做家長的責(zé)任。那些具有較女性化面孔的男性則被視為是好父親和好丈夫，努力工作和支持伴侶的人選。
盡管所有的這些消極特征，但當(dāng)問到她們會選擇誰作為短期伴侶，女性卻選擇了看上去陽剛的男性。具有方形下頜和輪廓清晰的眉骨的布拉德·皮特和喬治·克魯尼被視為是短暫戀情的理想人選，但他們不適合作長期的伴侶。
這項研究發(fā)表在第十二期美國《人際關(guān)系》雜志上。
Kruger認(rèn)為從進化的角度看這這項研究成果很有道理。研究認(rèn)為是睪丸激素和荷爾蒙決定男性面部特征和其它性別特征的發(fā)育。
這項研究還發(fā)現(xiàn)影響人體抵御疾病的因素，那就是體內(nèi)荷爾蒙水平高的男性通常更強壯和健康。這些特征是女性愿意遺傳給下一代的。然而增長的荷爾蒙又會導(dǎo)致伴侶關(guān)系中的欺騙和暴力。所以Kruger說，這些男性可能會有高質(zhì)量的后代，但他們不會是稱職的父親和忠實的伴侶。
觀相術(shù)把某些面部特征和行為特征聯(lián)系在一起，對此學(xué)術(shù)界持懷疑態(tài)度。但Kruger爭辯說這個研究是一個了解選擇配偶策略的有價值的工具。當(dāng)然這也可以解釋為什么梁朝偉和 Takeshi Kanesshiro擁有數(shù)以百萬計的女影迷。這或許和他們的基因有關(guān)系�；蛟S和我們的基因有關(guān)系。
