Question 1

Summary and translate the article below into about 70 to 80 Japanese words.

One serious question about faces is whether we can find attractive or even pleasant-looking someone of whom we cannot approve. We generally give more weight to moral judgments than to judgments about how people look, or at least most of us do most of the time. So when confronted by a person one has a low moral opinion of, perhaps the best that one can say is that he or she looks nice --- and one is likely to add that this is only a surface impression. What we in fact seem to be doing is reading backward, from knowledge of a person's past behavior to evidence of that behavior in his or her face.

We need to be cautious in assuming that outer appearance and inner self have any immediate relation to each other. It is in fact extremely difficult to draw any conclusions we can trust from our judgments of a person's appearance alone, and often, as we gain more knowledge of a person, we can discover how wrong our initial judgments were. During Hitler's rise and early years in power, hardly anyone detected the inhumanity that we now see so clearly in his face. There is nothing necessarily evil about the appearance of a small man with a mustache and exaggerated bodily movements. The description would apply equally well to the famous comedian Charlie Chaplin, whose gestures and mustache provoke laughter and sympathy. Indeed, in a well-known film Chaplin plays the roles of both ordinary man and wicked political leader in so similar a way that it is impossible to tell them apart.
