請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題：      

        Do you have trouble picking out a friend’s face among a group of people? There’s a name for your condition: prosopagnosia, or face blindness. The disorder was thought to be exceedingly rare and mainly a result of brain injury. But last month a team of German researchers took the first stab at charting its prevalence, and the results were remarkable. The new study showed that prosopagnosia is highly heritable and surprisingly common, afflicting, in some form, about 1 in 50 people—more than 5 million in the US alone. “That’s huge,” says Dr. Thomas Grüter of the Institute of Human Genetics in Münster. “It was a real surprise.”
Within that group of sufferers, however, the condition varies widely. For the vast majority, the problem is not so much about detecting a face—prosopagnosics can see eyes, noses, and mouths as clearly as anyone else—as it is about recognizing the same set of features when seeing them again. While mild prosopagnosics can train themselves to memorize a limited number of faces, others grapple with identifying family members and, in extreme cases, their own faces. Gaylen Howard, 40, a homemaker in Boulder, Colo., says that when she’s standing in front of a mirror in a crowded restroom, she makes a funny face so that, as she puts it, “I can tell which one is me.”
Most prosopagnosics learn to cope early on. They distinguish people based on cues like hairstyle, voice, or body shape. They shun places where they could unexpectedly run into someone they know. They pretend to be lost in thought while walking down the street. They act friendly to everyone—or to no one. In short, they become expert at masking their dysfunction. “This is probably why the disorder went unnoticed for so long,” says Gruter.

      你在一群人中挑出一位朋友的臉孔有困難嗎？你的情況有一個名稱：臉孔辨識困難症或臉孔辨識盲。這種失調以前是被認為很少，而且主要是由腦部受傷所致。但是上個月有一組德國的研究員首度做了它的分布情況調查，成果顯著。這項新的研究顯示，臉孔辨識困難症有高度的遺傳性而且非常地普遍，約50人中就有1人 – 單在美國就有超過5百萬人受折磨。在Münster市的人類基因研究院(Institute of Human Genetics)的Thomas Grüter博士說：數量真是龐大。
然而，在這些患者中，症狀差異很大。大多數人辨識臉孔並沒有太大的困難 - 臉孔辨識困難症者能夠和一般人一樣能看得到眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴 – 也就是當再看到同一副臉部特徵時會辨認得出來。雖然輕度臉孔辨識困難症者能夠訓練自己去記得一些有限的臉孔，但其他的人辨識親人都有困難，有些極端嚴重的案例，自已的臉孔都辨識困難。Gaylen Howard，40歲，一位居住在科羅拉多州Boulder市的家庭主婦，她說當她在擁擠的洗手間中站在鏡子前，她要做個笑臉，如此這樣，她說：我可以分辨出哪一張臉是我。
大多數的臉孔辨識困難症者很早就學會適應。他們以髮型、聲音或體型當做提示。他們避開那些可能會和熟人不期而遇的地方。他們在街上走時會假裝腦袋放空。他們對每一個人 – 或即使沒有人，都表現出友善。簡而言之，他們成了偽裝他們官能障礙的專家。Gruter說：這也許就是為什麼這種失調被忽略了這麼久的原因。
