Passage One

“I like him the minutes I saw him.” “Before she even said a word, I

knew

there

was

something

funny

about

her.”

Such

statements

are

examples

of

snap

judgments,

opinions

which

are

formed

suddenly,

seemingly

without

any

sound

reason

at

all.

Most

people

say

snap

judgments

are

unsound

or

even

dangerous .They

also

admit

they

often

make snap judgments and find them to be fairly sound. Snap judgments

like “love at first sight” or “instant hate”, if taken seriously, have usually

been

considered

signs

of

immaturity

or

lack

of

common

sense.

When

someone has a feeling about someone else, people more often laugh than

pay attention.

Most people think you find out about a person by listening to what

he

says

over

a

period

of

time.

Others

say

“actions

speak

louder

than

words”, usually in

relation to keeping promises.

Because people assume “you are what you say you are”, they talk a

lot to become acquainted with each other. Once two people have become

acquainted,

they

think

it

was

their

conversation

that

gave

them

their

information about each other. As behavioral sciences develop, however,

researchers

find

the

importance

of

speech

has

been

overestimated.

Although speech is the most obvious form of communication, we do use

other forms of which we may be only partially aware or, in some cases,

completely

unaware.

It

is

possible

we

are

unconsciously

sending

messages with every action, messages that are unconsciously picked up

by others and used in forming opinions. These unconscious actions and

reactions

to

them

may

in

part

account

for

our

feelings

and

snap

judgments.

41. According to the first paragraph, a snap judgment is______.

A. a sound opinion although it is formed suddenly

B. an opinion formed suddenly, seemingly without reason.

C. an sound and dangerous opinion formed quickly.

D. an opinion formed with careful thought.

42. People become acquainted with each other through talking because

they believe_____.
