    Most people think a person’s taste in food is so unique and random that it couldn’t possibly reveal anything about his/her character.

    But other subtle(奇妙的) things that people do can help us make up our mind about a person’s character. Should we really be so quick to dismiss what a person eats?

    Dr. Alan Hirsch is a US neurologist (神经科医生) who specializes in the treatment of people who lose their sense of smell or taste.

    In order to investigate the possible link between people’s choices of snack food and personality, Hirsch quizzed a sample of 19, 400 people. He made all participants undergo two well-known personality tests.

    These tests define each of the volunteers according to widely accepted personality categories. Hirsch could then check his own results against these in order to find interrelation between their choice of snack food and personality type.

    Hirsch also tested the volunteers on questionnaires designed to assess depression, because depressive illnesses are known to coincide with losses of sensation and preferences for certain foods.

    The volunteers were then tested on their preference for snack foods and the pleasure value they assigned to each food. Hirsch also quizzed married partners on their choices to find out how people with different food choices differed in their compatibility (兼容性) for each other.

    The study revealed surprising links between perfectionism and the urges to chew tortilla (玉米饼) chips and even a connection between introversion (内向) and the consumption of cream crackers.

    Dr. Hirsch used the same technique of testing for associations between different personality types and the flavors of ice cream people prefer.

    Finally, while some will feel this test provides a good assessment of their personality, others will disagree with the assessment.

 In times of economic crisis, Americans turn to their families for support. If the Great Depression is any guide, we may see a drop in our skyhigh divorce rate. But this won’t necessarily represent an increase in happy marriages. In the long run, the Depression weakened American families, and the current crisis will probably do the same.

　　We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses. By 1932, when nearly one-quarter of the workforce was unemployed, the divorce rate had declined by around 25% from 1929. But this doesn’t mean people were suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs, unhappy couples often couldn’t afford to divorce. They feared neither spouse could manage alone.

　　Today, given the job losses of the past year, fewer unhappy couples will risk starting separate households. Furthermore, the housing market meltdown will make it more difficult for them to finance their separations by selling their homes.

　　After financial disasters family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each other and their communities. A 1940 book “The Unemployed Man and His Family”, described a family in which the husband initially reacted to losing his job “with tireless search for work.” He was always active, looking for odd jobs to do.

　　The problem is that such an impulse is hard to sustain. Across the country, many similar families were unable to maintain the initial boost in morale(士气). For some, the hardships of life without steady work eventually overwhelmed their attempts to keep their families together. The divorce rate rose again during the rest of the decade as the recovery took hold.

　　Millions of American families may now be in the initial stage of their responses to the current crisis, working together and supporting one another through the early months of unemployment.

　　Today’s economic crisis could well generate a similar number of couples whose relationships have been irreparably(无法弥补地)ruined. So it’s only when the economy is healthy again that we’ll begin to see just how many broken families have been created.

A. It will irreparably damage their relationship

B. It will undermine their mutual understanding
