问题     The saying "Clothes Make the Man" dates back some 400 years and it refers to the fact that when people see a well-dressed person, they assume that person is professional, capable, and (especially in the old days) rich. Therefore, you had to dress like how you wanted to be perceived, what you wanted to eventually achieve. Fast forward 400 years, lots of folks still think the same way.  But does it really make a difference?
    I happen to be one of those who do not put faith in the old saying. I suppose I might be in the minority but I am a member of an elite club with the likes of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in my camp.
    Perception is not reality; perception is halfway to discovering reality. Perception is drawn from our own impressions, our own belief systems. Is it powerful and influential? Absolutely! Is it all that it seems less often than you think? How many times have you cast an initial judgment only to surprise yourself later and learn how you missed out on a great opportunity, person or idea?
    Comment 1:
    In the present era, many associate the well-dressed with being the most successful. It took folks in the business world a long time to overlook the way Steve Jobs wore jeans on the public stage. I did not know Mr. Jobs, though I wish I had. I have heard it said that he invented the concept of "business casual. " In my mind that is as much a matter of self-confidence as it is a matter of taste in clothing.
    Comment 2:
    You are wrong about Steve Jobs. He certainly did care about how he was perceived and his appearance was very much calculated to achieve his desired effect. From his early formal business clothing down to the aggressive casualness of his eventual black turtle neck and jeans uniform, his clothes and the impact they made were clearly foremost in his mind.
    Comment 3:
    It reminds me of the story about the philosopher who goes to a formal dinner party in jeans. When asked if he felt out of place because of his clothes, he looked around and said he hadn’ t noticed.
Which of the following might the writer of the passage agree with?
选项 A、Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dress formally.
B、We should not judge a person by his clothing.
C、It is clothes that make the man.
D、The well-dressed are most likely to succeed.
答案B
解析 题干问的是“下面四个选项中，哪个是作者赞同的?”文章第一段，作者先引出了整篇博客的讨论主题——一个人的着装反映出他的身份、地位等。大多数人认为好的着装体现出穿衣人的成功、地位等。但是关键词在于第一段最后一句的“But”，以一个一般疑问句对大多数人认为的观点提出质疑。第二、三段，博主表达了自己的观点，他不觉得一个人的着装能够反映他的身份，B选项“我们不能根据着装来判断一个人”符合文意，故选B。
