本文从以下几个角度介绍。

Passage 7Some words sound like what they mean.And they could influence everything fromfictional depictions of aliens to your first impression on a job application.But most wordshave no apparent connection to what they signify.As the linguist Steven Pinker puts it,wecall a dog"dog"because everyone else does.And that's how it has to be.1That rule applies to most words,but not all.The words pop and murmur soundlike they sound.Try to shout the word whisper.Weird,right?2 It seems natural toassociate the names of large animals,for example,with low-pitched sounds:say,elephant,compared with mouse.Pinker and others argue that iconicity is rare inlanguage,but plenty of psychologists and linguists disagree.Beyond the debates,there are far-reaching implications for human interaction.3 People associate the"round"sounds in people's names with one set of characteristics,and names featuring"sharp"sounds with a very different set."Anne tends to beconscientious,hardworking and sensitive,"Penny Pexman,a psychologist at the University of碳Calgary in Canada says."Kate is expected to be extroverted,less conscientious,lesshardworking and less agreeable."Luckily,surveys suggest that the link exists only in the mind of the person焙making it.4"You could construct a little bit of an unlikely situation wherepeople start to look like their names over time and maybe people's personalities startto match their names through some sort of congruency().But we didn't findthat,"Pexman says.There's also no evidence that people are basing their judgments烟on people they met previously.够5 "We have videos of people being interviewed for jobs and we will manipulatethe names of those candidates before others evaluate them,"she says."What's in a name?"William Shakespeare asked us in Romeo and Juliet."Thatwhich we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."Well,perhaps not.A.It is generally believed that names define who we are.B.People tend to expect one to have specific traits based on how one's name sounds.C.The English language has developed a rule of names reflecting people's good qualities.D.It would overwhelm our senses if every word we speak came with a deeper meaning.E.Such terms show sound iconicity,or a similarity between a word's form and meaning.F.There is no evidence that the Kates of the world are more extroverted than the Annes.G.Pexman will also examine how people's names could affect their chances of beingchosen after an interview.【JKT·英语·纠错提分卷（十三）第6页（共6页）】
