Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to who people are, who they are not, and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearer’s background, personality, status, mood, and social outlook.
Since clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to manipulate people’s impression of us. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the initial phases of interaction that is likely to occur. An elderly middle-class man or woman may be alienated by a young adult who is dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person’s education, background, or interests.
People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfits, including the number of boyfriends they likely have had and whether they smoke or drink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the news on TV, are considered to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed conservatively. And college students who view themselves as taking an active role in their interpersonal relationships say they are concerned about the costumes they must wear to play these roles successfully. Moreover, many of us can relate instances in which the clothing we wore changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you anticipated a stressful situation, such as a job interview or a court appearance.
In the workplace, men have long had well-defined precedents and role models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate mixture of "masculine" and "feminine" attributes they should convey by their professional clothing. The variety of clothing alternatives to women has also been greater than that available for men. Male administrators tend to judge women more favorably for managerial positions when the women display less "feminine" grooming—shorter hair, moderate use of make-up, and plain tailored clothing. As one male administrator confessed, "An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she won’t get a job."
It is commonly agreed that
选项
A、newscasters should be conservative.
B、college students play an active role in interpersonal relationships.
C、clothes enables people to be confident.
D、job interviews and court appearances are stressful situations.
答案
D
解析
第3段最后一句中的such as表明job interview和court appearance都属于stressful situations,而原文没有表明这种分类只是一家之言,因此D说法符合题意。第3段第3句表明人们认为newscasters应该conservatively dressed,即衣着保守,但没有人认为newscasters的性格应该保守,因此A不正确;B是大学生自己的看法,不符合题意;该段最后一句虽然提到人们利用clothing获得自信,但这里的clothing并不是指任何的clothing,而是指特定的某种clothing,因此,C的clothes所指过泛。
