Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to who people are, who they are not, and who they would like to be They tell us a good deal about the wearer’s background, personality, status, mood. and social outlook.
Since clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to manipulate people’s impression to us. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the initial phases of interaction that is likely to occur. An elderly middle-class man or woman may be alienated by a young adult who is dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person’s education, background, or interests.
People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfits, including the number of boyfriends they likely have had and whether they smoke or drink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the news on TV, are considered. to be more convincing, honest, and competent when riley are dressed conservatively. And college students who view themselves as taking an active role in their interpersonal relationships say they are concerned about the costumes they must wear to play these roles successfully. Moreover. many of us can relate instances in which the clothing we wore changed the way we fell about ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you anticipated a stressful situation, such as a job interview, or a court appearance.
In the workplace, men have long had well-defined precedents and role models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate mixture of "masculine" and "feminine" attributes they should convey by their professional clothing. The variety of clothing alternative to women has also been greater than that available for men. Male administrators tend to judge women more favorable for managerial positions when the women display less "feminine" grooming—shorter hair, moderate use of makeup, and plain tailored clothing. As one male administrator confessed. "An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she won’t get a job."
The word "precedents" (Line 1,Para. 4) probably refers to ______.
选项
A、early acts for men to follow as examples
B、particular places for men to occupy especially because of their importance
C、things that men should agree upon
D、men’s beliefs that everything in the world has already been decided
答案
A
解析
词义推测题。precedent是大纲词,意为“先例”。此处可根据上下文来判断:and表示并列关系,因此precedents应与role models属于相同范畴,对比四个选项可知只有A 恰当。
