CDo you ever forget a face? If not, then you could be a “super recognizer”.Usually it's easy for someone to recognize(识别) the faces of their family and friends. But it could be difficult for them to remember faces that they've only seen once.However, studies have found that super recognizers have amazing face recognition skills. They can remember at least 80 percent of faces they've seen. At least one in 50 people are super recognizers, reported Daily Mail.Bournemouth University of UK recently carried out a study. They tried to find whether super recognizers have a different way to remember faces.They found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the persons' noses.Researchers also found that these people are not smarter than others. Their super ability usually only helps them recognize faces.important finding is that there are subtypes(子类型) of superrecognition.Some super recognizers never forget faces. But for some, if you show pairs of faces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.In fact, many super recognizers say they are good at “spotting”(认出) faces in a crowd.These subtypes of super recognition could be used in many areas of life. For example, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint. Super recognizers could also help the police spot known troublemakers, bad people or even missing people in crowds.1. Whose face can an ordinary person remember easily?A.A foreigner's.B.A friend's.C.A troublemaker's.D.A missing person's.2. According to the passage, which part of the body helps a lot in recognizing faces?A.Eye.B.Ear.C.Mouth.D.Nose.3. Which word can best fit in the blank in Paragraph 7?A.One.B.Other.C.The other.D.Another.4. What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The study of super recognizers.B.How to remember faces.C.The use of super recognition.D.Ways of being super recognizers.参考答案：[主旨大意] 本文是一篇说明文,说明了超级认脸者的特殊能力及其在生活中的应用。
