问题    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."
We can learn from the third paragraph that______.
选项 A、every girl knows how to choose their own unique style of clothes
B、newscasters who are dressed conservatively tend to be irresolute
C、announcers who read the news on TV should wear certain outfits to gain confidence
D、the clothing a college student wore can affect the way he/she behaves
答案D
解析 细节题。定位于第三段，根据倒数第二句“Moreover，many of us can relate instances in which the clothing we wore changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we acted．”可知，衣着在某些情况下会影响人的自我感觉或行为方式，D项正确。A项错在every girl，太绝对；B项错在be irresolute，文中说的是be more convincing，honest,and competent；C项表示的场合错误，文中说的是在出席有压力的场合时，比如工作面试或法庭审讯时，可以利用衣服来增强自信心。
