The saying “Clothes Make the Man” dates back some 400 years and it refers to the fact that

when people see a well-dressed person, they assume that person is a professional, capable, and (especially in the old days) rich. Therefore, you had to dress like how you wanted to be perceived, what you wanted to eventually achieve. Fast forward 400 years, lots of folks still think the same way. But does it really make a difference？

I happen to be one of those who do not put faith in the old saying. I suppose I might be in the minority but I am a member of an elite club with the likes of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in my camp.

Perception is not reality; perception is halfway to discovering reality. Perception is drawn from our own impressions, our own belief systems. Is it powerful and influential？ Absolutely! Is it all that it seems？ Less often than you think. How many times have you cast an initial judgment only to surprise yourself later and learn how you missed out on a great opportunity, person or idea？

Comment 1

In the present era, many associate the well-dressed with being the most successful. It took folks in the business world a long time to overlook the way Steve Jobs wore jeans on the public stage. I did not know Mr. Jobs, though I wish I had. I have heard it said that he invented the concept of “business casual.” In my mind that is as much a matter of self-confidence as it is a matter of taste in clothing.

Comment 2

You are wrong about Steve Jobs. He certainly did care about how he was perceived and his appearance was very much calculated to achieve his desired effect. From his early formal business clothing down to the aggressive casualness of his eventual black turtle neck and jeans uniform, his clothes and the impact they made were clearly foremost in his mind.

Comment 3

It reminds me of the story about the philosopher who goes to a formal dinner party in jeans. When asked if he felt out of place because of his clothes, he looked around and said he hadn’t noticed.

Which of the following might the writer of the passage agree with？

A.Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dress formally.

B.We should not judge a person by his clothing.

C.It is clothes that make the man.

D.The well-dressed are most likely to succeed.

According to the writer of the passage, perception ______.A.might prove wrong

B.is powerful and reliable

C.is half reality

D.might be worthless to us

Speaking of Steve Jobs, the writer of Comment 2 ________.A.points out that Steve Jobs was a very aggressive person

B.suggests that he and Steve Jobs used to be in the same club

C.holds the same view as the writer of the passage

D.thinks Steve Jobs’ casualness was carefully thought out

When he went to the dinner party in jeans (Comment 3), the philosopher _______A.thought that people liked his clothes

B.was not aware of how his clothes looked

C.felt quite embarrassed

D.considered himself out of place

The writer of Comment 1 seems to ______.A.dislike the way Steve Jobs dressed for business occasions

B.suggest that business people have no taste in clothing

C.believe that the well-dressed are the most successful

D.think that Steve Jobs’ casualness reflected his self-confidence

My mother never let herself get down. No matter how bad things were, she stayed cheerful.
Even though we had a hard life, she still maintained the attitude that everything was fine. I remember her coming home tired from her job at the restaurant and saying that we were lucky. We didn't have a lot of clothes or toys, but my mother always made sure we had enough to eat.

Her love and devotion for my brother and me made our lack of material possessions seem insignificant. Even today, if I were given a choice between having love at home and wealth, I would want it just the way I had it. I grew up poor in material things but rich in love.

Since my father was never around long enough to teach me physical things or to play games with me, I didn't succeed in any competitive sport. My mother did her best as a substitute, throwing a ball with me in the lot(空地) behind our house, but it wasn't the same. She was too protective of me, and I didn't have enough confidence in my own abilities to really try anything physically demanding.

The story suggests that the author is______his mother.

A．proud of

B．worried about

C．pitiful for

D．concerned about

阅读理解：If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe(衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.

Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.

No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability(耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.

When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability？ Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability？ That is for you to decide.

36. Designers and big stores always make money .

A) by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry

B) because they are capable of predicting new fashions

C) by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothing

D) because they attach great importance to quality in women's clothing

37. To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dresses is seen as .

A) a waste of money B) a waste of time

C) an expression of taste D) an expression of creativity

38. The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the of clothing.

A) cost B) appearance

C) comfort D) suitability

39. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE？

A) New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.

B) The constant changes in women's clothing reflect their strength of character.

C) The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.

D) Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.

40. By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious" (Lines 1-2, Para. 4) the writer means that .

A) women's inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at

B) women are better able to put up with discomfort

C) men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers

D) men are more stable and reliable in character

Direction：There are five passages in this part，Each passage is followed by five questions
or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choice marked A，B，C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.

Passage One

They may be one of Britain’s most successful exports and among the world’s most popular TV shows，ranking alongside the World Cup Final and the Olympics Games opening ceremony in terms of audience. But，in Britain，beauty competitions are unfashionable. To most people，beauty contests seems as out-dated as bowing. Nicolas Baker，a lawyer in London，said that“As much as I think it’s fine for women to do it，I don’t think it’s interesting and in fact，I think they’re irrelevant to today.”Last year，Miss World was broadcast to 142 countries，but it wasn’t even shown in the country where it started in 1951.

It wasn’t always this way in Britain. Once beauty queens dated footballers，traveled the world and were guaranteed fame，fortune and fun. Now，they open new supermarkets，are sponsored by dry-cleaning companies and if they’re lucky，they get free clothes from supermarkets.

When Francesca Marchant was crowned Miss Sussex in 1969，it was something to be extremely proud of“I came from a small town，and all my friends were green with envy when they found out I’d won. My boyfriend at the time thought it was terrific and boasted to everyone that he was going out with a beauty queen.

But the good times couldn’t last. The feminist movement gathered momentum. Some women were determined to bring an end to these“cattle shows.” Nowadays，saying that you were a beauty queen just doesn’t sound good.

Miss World organizers claim that contestants are judged on qualities other than just their physical appearance. But Jacqueline Gold，England’s representative at this year’s contest，was not chosen because of her academic record. The Miss World Website states that she“left school having gained many computer qualifications，and certificates in First Aid and Lift Saving.”meaning，not much of an education.

The only time contests attract attention now is because of the protesters. At the 1999 Miss World in Britain around 60 demonstrators hurled flour bombs and fought with the police. They denounced the beauty contest as a“sexist cattle market”. They waved banners saying“fat girls are cool”and“women’s bodies are not for sale.”

31. Beauty contests in Britain are now .

A. bringing huge benefits for the country

B. as popular as the World Cup Final

C. no longer popular in the country

D. widely protested in the country

Pretty in pink: adult women do not rememer being so obsessed with the colour, yet it is pe
rvasive in our young girls’ lives. Tt is not that pink is intrinsically bad, but it is such a tiny slice of the rainbow and, though it may celebrate girlhood in one way, it also repeatedly and firmly fuses girls’ identity to appearance. Then it presents that connection, even among two-year-olds, between girls as not only innocent but as evidence of innocence. Looking around, I despaired at the singular lack of imagination about girls’ lives and interests.

Girls’ attraction to pink may seem unavoidable, somehow encoded in their DNA, but according to Jo Paoletti, an associate professor of American Studies, it is not. Children were not colour-coded at all until the early 20th century: in the era before domestic washing machines all babies wore white as a practical matter, since the only way of getting clothes clean was to boil them. What’s more, both boys and girls wore what were thought of as gender-neutral dresses.When nursery colours were introduced, pink was actually considered the more masculine colour, a pastel version of red, which was associated with strength. Blue, with its intimations of the Virgin Mary, constancy and faithfulness, symbolised femininity. It was not until the mid-1980s, when amplifying age and sex differences became a dominant children’s marketing strategy, that pink fully came into its own, when it began to seem inherently attractive to girls, part of what defined them as female, at least for the first few critical years.

I had not realised how profoundly marketing trends dictated our perception of what is natural to kins, including our core beliefs about their psychological development. Take the toddler. I assumed that phase was something experts developed after years of research into children’s behaviour: wrong. Turns out, acdording to Daniel Cook, a historian of childhood consumerism, it was popularised as a marketing trick by clothing manufacrurers in the 1930s.

Trade publications counselled department stores that, in order to increase sales, they should create a “third stepping stone” between infant wear and older kids’ clothes. Tt was only after “toddler”became a common shoppers’ term that it evolved into a broadly accepted developmental stage. Splitting kids, or adults,into ever-tinier categories has proved a sure-fire way to boost profits. And one of the easiest ways to segment a market is to magnify gender differences – or invent them where they did not previously exist.

By saying "it is...the rainbow"(Line 3, Para.1),the author means pink______.

A.should not be the sole representation of girlhood

B.should not be associated with girls&39; innocence

C.cannot explain girls&39; lack of imagination

D.cannot influence girls&39; lives and interests

第6题

Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious a
nd self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making？ Do they like me？ Do I sound stupid？ Am I wearing unattractive clothes？ It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives. Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced？ Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life. What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making？” (Para 1)__________ A.Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance

B.People’s shyness make them care too much about their appearance and actions.

C.It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.

D.Shy people think they are different from others.

According to the writer, self-awareness is __________.A.a good quality

B.the cause of unhappiness

C.harmful to people

D.a weak point of shy people

Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage？ _________A.Shyness helps us to develop our potential

B.Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better

C.Shyness can block our chances for a rich life

D.Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem

That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ___________.A.good

B.unreal

C.very reasonable

D.harmful

It can be inferred from the passage that shy people ________.A.should find more of their weakness

B.should understand themselves in the right way

C.had better ignore their weakness

D.can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem
