阅读以下短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个与短文内容相符的最佳选项。
Have you seen circles, squares and triangles everywhere in your daily life? Have you thought about their meanings in films? Different shapes can show different features(特征) of characters in the scenes.
Circles represent(象征) things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies' round faces ... All these things make us feel happy and warm. Circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness. This is why so many cartoon characters are round in shape.
Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up, Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. These shapes show the characters' personalities. Carl is stubborn(执拗的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy.
Triangles are often used to suggest anger or danger. Kids who draw a monster with sharp teeth draw a row of triangles, don't they? That's because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. If you look at the bad guys in cartoons, you'll find they're all drawn with plenty of points and triangles. And triangles are stable and don't easily fall down. In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with.
Different shapes are used not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films for the same purpose. So, next time you see a film, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like.
