Do you look like your name?Scientists say there's a good chance you do.

This comes from a new study published in a magazine.Researchers from Israel our given names may have something to do with our facial appearances.

Lead writer Yonat Zwebner of a university,along with her team,did eight different experiments in Israel and France.The different experiments were set up to answer two main questions :whether people can correctly guess a person's name based only on a photo of a face and what is behind this matching effect.

During the experiments,researchers asked students to look at photos of people's faces and guess each person's name from a list of four choices.They correctly guessed the right name 38 percent of the time,which was better than the 25 percent of a random(随机的)guess.

What's more ,when the faces the students looked at came from within their own country ,they were able to best match the faces to the names.French students were better at matching only French names and faces while Israeli students were better at matching only Hebrew names and Israeli faces.

Researchers believe it is possible that people change their appearances without paying attention to it,to match their names.One study especially backed up this idea,showing that a hairstyle ,something that can be changed by people easily,was enough to guide others in correctly guessing their names.

The results of the experiments may even make parents think twice when choosing a name for their children.

“If name can influence(影响)appearance,it can influence many other thing .This research opens an important direction that may suggest how parents should consider better the names for their children,”said Zwebner ,who recently had a baby herself.

“As parents, it was really difficult for us to name our 12-day-old daughter as we know the meaning of names.”

1.One of the purposes(目的)of the experiments is to      .

A. give the students a chance to know each other.

B. explain what influences our facial appearances.

C. find out different meanings carried by different names.

D. see if people can correctly guess a person's name based only on a photo of a face.

2.People could match the faces to the names more easily      .

A. when they did a random guess

B. when the faces are from other countries.

C. when the faces are from their own country.

D. when they have more knowledge themselves.

3.The underlined part“backed up”in Paragraph 6 most probably meas“       ”。

A. supported    B. changed    C. compared    D. canceled

4.According to Zwebner,we know that       .

A. facial appearances may influence names.

B. we shouldn't think of others just according to their names.

C. a name may influence many things and should be well chosen.

D. we should pay less attention to the meanings of names and be ourselves.
