Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we "fit" in society. As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar person on our property is thief or a meter reader, and so on.
The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter, and change throughout life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather effortlessly.
A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits, the buyer can choose style and fabric. But
an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince.
We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our pocketbook. Having made a choice within these limits we can have certain alterations made, but apart from minor adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks. Statuses too come ready made, and the range of choice among them is limited.
In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the pronoun "it" refers to "______".
选项
A、fitting our actions to those of other people appropriately
B、identification of other people’s statuses
C、selecting one’s own statuses
D、constant mental process
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据第二段最后一句话“Although some of us find the task more difficultthan others,most of us perform it rather effortlessly”可知,it这里指代这句话中的the task。然后再根据上下文可知,the task指代的是前面一句话中的“we fit our actions to those of otherpeople based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation”,由此可推出,it指代“we fit our actions to those of other people”,所以正确答案是A选项。
