问题                  How to Prepare for an Interview
    Being interviewed is a situation that nearly everyone faces at some time in life, whether for college or for a job. Most people face this ordeal with anxiety and even fear. However, people who prepare for an interview avoid much of this anxiety. Preparing for an interview involves doing advance research, choosing the right outfit, and planning appropriate communication with the interviewer.
    Doing research before the actual interview will increase the chances for a successful interview. Find out the location of the interview site and decide how to travel there to arrive on time. Nothing makes as poor an impression on an interviewer as arriving late. In addition, learn about the company or institution where you are being interviewed. This will help you ask intelligent questions. If your interview is for admission to a school, find out what courses the school offers in your field of interest. For a job interview, find out about the kind of work the company does. If you already work at the company and are being interviewed for a promotion, research the duties of the job for which you are applying. Such research will show the interviewer that you are interested in obtaining the job or being admitted to the school.
    Dressing appropriately for the interview is important because your appearance will be the first thing the interviewer notices about you. This means wearing clean, neatly pressed clothing and subdued color combinations such as brown or navy with white. You want to make a good impression, but at the same time you do not want to attract attention to your clothing. Also, you want to show that you can use good judgment. If you wear loud colors or overly noticeable clothes, the interviewer might question your judgment about what’s acceptable behavior for a school or office setting.
    Preparing what you might say to the interviewer will help you feel more in control of the situation. From your research, prepare a list of questions that you would like to ask the interviewer. As you prepare what you might say, remind yourself of what not to say. For instance, you won’t want to ask questions that are too personal. Also, remind yourself not to talk too much. Make a mental note to let the interviewer guide and control the course of the meeting. Also plan to answer the interviewer’s questions fully, explaining your answers rather than replying by saying only yes or no. Remember, the interviewer is trying to form an impression of you and how you would fit in at the school or company.
    By following these steps, you will be prepared for your interview and feel more confident about the results. You will also increase your chances of making the good impression that is important for getting accepted into the school of your choice or landing the job you want.
Inappropriate attire for an interview make the interviewer suspect that you do not have good judgment as to what the right behavior should be in a formal setting.
选项 A、Right
B、Wrong
C、Not mentioned
答案A
解析 本题给出的信息是正确的。文章第三段最后两句提到：“Also，you want to show that you can use good judgment．If you wear loud colors or overly noticeable clothes，the inter viewer might question your judgment about what’s acceptable behavior for a school or office setting．”此外，你想到证明你有良好的判断力。如果你穿着颜色刺眼的或过于引人注意的衣服，面试官可能会质疑你对什么是在学校或办公环境中人们能接受的行为的判断力。这与本题所描述的“不恰当的着装会使面试官怀疑你不具备对什么是在正式场合下的适当举止的判断力”相一致。所以选A。对其中着装(attire)一词的了解是答对本题的必要条件。
