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."
According to the passage, the way we dress ______.
选项
A、provides clues for people who are critical of us
B、has a direct influence on the way people regard us
C、indicates our likes and dislikes in choosing a career
D、is of particular importance when we get on in age
答案
B
解析
这个句子的意思为:对别人如何看我们有直接影响。作者在第一段指出,着装很重要,它为我们判断人提供了线索,通过它,我们可以判定入的背景、性格、地位、情绪,以及世界观。第二段指出,因为着装可以显示许多社会信息,我们可以利用着装左右(manipulate)别人对我们的看法,特别是刚与人见面时( in the initial phases of interaction),外表更是起着举足轻重的作用,如:如果一个年轻人穿着不拘礼节,无论其教育程度、背景、兴趣如何,一个上了年纪的中产阶级的人都会敬而远之
