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 a 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 (服装) 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 (钱 包). 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
本题问在第一段中作者告诉我们身份可以帮助我们做什么。仔细阅读一下文章第一段内容,人类发明的身份,使得人与人之间得以相处,使得人人都能在社会里找到合适的位置,这简直是一个奇迹。在我们日常生活中,我们时时都在心里确定人们的身份:在图书馆里见到一个人,你需要确定他是读者,还是管理员;在电话里,你需要确定来电话的人是你的朋友,还是推销员;当你在房前屋后看到陌生人时,你需要确定他是小偷还是查看水表、电表的人等。由此我们可以推知,本题的正确答案应是B“身份可以帮助人们在人际交往中举止行为得体”。
