Attractive fathers do not pass their looks on to their sons but they will hand their good looks down to their daughters, research shows.
In a study of family photographs, psychologists Professor David Perrett and Elisabeth Cornwell at the University of Colorado have found that while both father and mother can influence the attractiveness of their daughters, the couple's good looks do not necessarily contribute to the attractiveness of their son as an adult.
Handsome men with masculine (男子气概的) looks are likely to pass on masculine features, but not facial attractiveness. The theory suggests it is not unusual for attractive parents to produce a beautiful daughter while failing to pass on the same good looks to a son. While many celebrity mothers produce stunning (极为出色的) daughters — such as Goldie Hawn and her daughter Kate Hudson or Jerry Hall and her daughter Georgia — the same is not necessarily true of celebrity fathers. Sean Stewart, the son of Rod Stewart and his first wife Alana, would probably be judged less attractive than his model sister Kimberly.
“We can’t see a strong relationship between the parents’ attractiveness and the sons. If the parents are supermodels, the chances are the daughters will be lookers,” Perrett said. Prof Perrett said it has previously been suggested that a woman could increase her own reproductive success by choosing a “sexy” mate whose genes would be passed on to male descendants (后代).
But a new study, published in the current edition of the journal Animal Behaviour, disagrees with the theory. The researchers said: “When we looked at women’s faces, we found clear evidence that attractiveness passed from both father and mother to daughter. For the male line, we find that facial masculinity matched the rule ‘like father, like son’. But we did not find any evidence that facial attractiveness is passed from father to son.”
31. According to Paragraph 2, Professor Perrett believes that .
A. only attractive fathers can have beautiful daughters
B. only attractive mothers can have beautiful daughters
C. both attractive parents can have beautiful daughters
D. both attractive parents can have handsome sons
32. From Paragraph 5 we learn that .
A. neither Goldie Hawn nor Jerry Hall is a famous mother
B. neither Kate Hudson nor Georgia is beautiful
C. Sean Stewart is as attractive as his father
D. Kimberly is more attractive than Sean Stewart
33. The underlined word "lookers" in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by “ ”.
A. successful people B. beautiful people
C. famous people D. lucky people
34. Which of the following statements can be drawn from the last paragraph?
A. Masculine dads have masculine sons.
B. Sons usually behave the same way as their fathers.
C. Mothers have more influence on their children than fathers.
D. Daughters’ characters are easily influenced by their parents.
35. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. An Important Research on Human Genes
B. Famous Mothers Produce Beautiful Daughters
C. Parents’Attractiveness Influences Their Children
D. Attractive Fathers do not Pass Their Looks on to Their Sons
