While it is important that you be a caring, responsible, likable person, not many people are going to notice that about you when meeting you. Unfortunately, humans are very visually oriented and what we see of people leaves a lasting impression. When we go into a restaurant we don’t care if our chef donates to Toys for Tots, but we care that he is clean, dressed well, and professional looking. When shopping for a new dress we are more likely to ask for help from the well dressed, attractive employee than the girl who showed up to work looking as if she slept in her clothes and has never brushed her hair.
In our personal lives the importance of appearance is much the same. It’s a cruel fact of life, but people who are sloppy, dirty and poorly groomed don’t get dates. Most of us are "instinctively" attracted to good looking, well dressed people. When marriages were arranged by family this wasn’t such an issue, but today it most certainly is. No one wants to date the guy who doesn’t shower or the girl who wears clothing three sizes too small.
Even in the workplace appearance is seen as an indicator of ability. A job applicant with a master’s degree isn’t likely to be hired if s/he is missing teeth, no matter how qualified they are. Very few people would choose a surgeon who has dirt under their fingernails. A stylist with a lousy hair style isn’t likely to have very many clients.
Unfortunately, appearance is even important to children. Many small children, especially, can take an instant dislike to someone based solely on what they look like. As children get older appearance becomes an integral part in who is popular and who isn’t. The child who doesn’t have designer clothing is more likely to be left out of things than the child who wears all of the right brands. With teenagers attractiveness seems to denote popularity more than anywhere else. Teens don’t care if the overweight girl is a math genius who has a way with animals, they don’t care if the geeky boy writes the most beautiful poetry ever read, they just care what s/he looks like.
Right or wrong, in our society appearance is just too important to be ignored. While personality is a better indicator of a person’s value in the long run, when it comes to first impressions what we look like will always win out over who we are.
According to the text, most people______.
选项
A、pay tribute to the service of smart workers
B、admire the popularity of good-looking girls
C、appreciate the chef with professional looking
D、like to have contact with charming employees
答案
D
解析
根据第一段后两句中“restaurant chef”和“attractive employee”的事例,可知,人们愿意接触外貌漂亮、穿着得体的工作人员。所以,D应为答案。
