When I first met Nina, I disliked her at once. She was wearing skintight pedal pushers, a flashy, floppy top, and sneakers with no socks—bizarrely inappropriate even at our very informal company. Soon, Nina was
doggedly
pumping me for information about the new department I was running, where she hoped to get a permanent job. Not a chance, I thought. Not if I have anything to say about it.
However, I didn’t. Within a few days she was "trying out" for me. I gave her a moderately difficult, uninteresting, and unimportant project that I didn’t need for months. It took that long for her successor to put in order the mess she had made out of it. Although I couldn’ t have prediction exactly what Nina would do, in three minutes I had assessed her as someone who could not be relied on to get a job done.
We all make quick judgments about strangers. Within seconds after we meet someone, we take in a host of details and draw rather large conclusions from them. We may decide in a minute whether it is someone’ s nature to be warm or cold, friendly or hostile, anxious or calm, happy or troubled. Unconsciously, we often ask and quickly answer certain questions: Will I enjoy talking to him at this party? Will she make an interesting friend? Will he/she make a good boss/sales manager/secretary for me? If we get to know the person better, we may change our minds. But we may not have the chance.
From Nina’ s inappropriate dress and aggressive behavior toward me, I’d decided she was pushy, stupid, and had poor judgment. I also had a lot of vague impressions I couldn’ t explain. It was as if a warning bell went off in my head. Its message: this person was not to be trusted: her behavior would be unpredictable: she was motivated by a peculiar agenda of her own that I would never understand.
I was using a combination of observation, inference and intuition.
According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
选项
A、People tend to make quick judgment about strangers.
B、The author’ s first judgment about Nina was totally wrong.
C、Nina behaved rather pushy when she first met the author.
D、The author actually disliked Nina at the first sight.
答案
B
解析
根据第三段第一句“We all make quick judgments about strangers.”可知,人们总是会快速地对陌生人做出判断,所以A项正确;根据第一段第三句“Soon,Nina was doggedly pumping me for information about the new department…”可知,第一次见到我时,尼娜表现得咄咄逼人,所以C项正确;根据第一段第一句“When I first met Nina,I disliked her at once.”可知,第一次见到尼娜时,我就不喜欢她,所以D项正确。文中没有提及B项。故选B。
