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 first paragraph, the writer tells us that statuses can help us______.
选项
A、determine whether a person is fit for a certain job
B、behave appropriately in relation to other people
C、protect ourselves in unfamiliar situations
D、make friends with other people
答案
B
解析
推理题。根据第一段第一句话“Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable usto get along with one another and to determine where we“fit”in society”可知,身份让我们知道该如何与他人很好地相处,确定我们自己在社会中的位置。由此可以推出,身份告诉我们,在与他人交往过程中,我们该怎么做。B选项符合基于原文的推断。A和C选项文中并未提及。D选项“与他人交朋友”属于过度推断。所以正确答案是B选项。
