【解題】
From a young age we are told that our inner qualities matter more than the clothes we wear — but do you know that your shoes can actually speak 41. volumes to strangers? 我們從小就被告知，內在品質比我們所穿的衣服更重要—但是你知道你的鞋子實際上可以對陌生人充分的表達你自己嗎？ 42. According to a study by researchers at Wellesley College in Massachusetts, people could accurately 43. determine a stranger’s age, gender and income just by looking at their shoes. 根據麻薩諸塞州威爾斯利學院研究人員的研究，人們可以通過觀察他們的鞋子來準確地確定陌生人的年齡，性別和收入。44. While that isn’t necessarily surprising, what made researchers 45. take notice was the second level of analysis. 雖然這不一定令人驚訝，但研究人員注意到的是第二級分析。Participants in the study could also tell whether another person was insecure ( 不安全的 ) in her close relationships, or more laid-back(悠閒、慵懶的) and relaxed, based on the shoes she wore. 研究中的參與者也可以根據另一個人所穿的鞋子，來判斷她處於親密的關係中是否不安全，或者是悠閒慵懶和放鬆的。
