Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34.

When we meet people for the first time, we often make decisions about them based entirely on how they look. And of course, we too are being judged on our appearance. Undoubtedly, it’s what’s inside that’s important but sometimes we can send out the wrong signals and so get a negative reaction, simply by wearing inappropriate clothing.

When selecting your clothes each day, it is therefore important to think about who you’re likely to meet, where you are going to be spending most of your time and what tasks you are likely to perform. Clearly, on a practical level, some outfits will be more appropriate to different sorts of activity and this will dictate your choice to an extent. However, there’s no need to abandon your individual taste completely. After all, if you dress to please somebody else’s idea of what looks good, you may end up feeling uncomfortable and not quite yourself.

Some colours bring your natural colouring to life and others can give you a washed-out appearance. Try out new ones by all means, but remember that dressing in bright colours when you really like subtle neutral tones or vice versa will make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. You know deep down where your own taste boundaries lie. It may be fun to cross these sometimes, but do take care not to go too far all at once.

Reappraising your image isn’t selfish because everyone who comes into contact with you will benefit. You’ll look better and you’ll feel a better person all round. And if in doubt, you only need to read Professor Albert Mehrabian’s book Silent Messages, which showed that the impact we make on each other depends 55 percent on how we look and behave, 38 percent on how we speak, and only seven percent on what we actually say.

Frist impression

When we meet a stranger, we create an idea of that person in our mind. We call it first impression.

How do we create first impression of people. Most of time, we see what the person looks like, We look at the person’s physical appearance, such as eyes, hair and height.

A writer, Malcolm Gladwell, did a survey of the leaders of big companies in the United States. He found that a lot of them were tall men. Gladwell says that we choose taller people to be our leaders without knowing it. This is because tall people feel like leaders to us. But not everyone agrees. We don’t always make important decisions based only on out first impression.

Giving people a good impression can be important, like in a job interview. But first impressions are not always true. We often change how we feel about people when we know them better.

We don’t only choose clothes to make us look attractive, we also use them to tell the world (1)______ our personality. The clothes we wear and our (2)______ as a whole give other people useful information about what we think, how we feel. If we feel cheerful, we usually wear colorful clothes and if we feel depressed we sometimes put on dark clothes. But why do teenagers wear black so often? Is it because they feel miserable sall (3)______? This is unlikely to be the case. It is probably just because it is (4)______ to wear black, and young people they are real fans of fashion.

1. A. of B. with C. by D. about

2. A. appear B. appearance C. appeared D. appearing

3. A. the time B. the day C. the week D. the month

Why do people often get uptight and worried before meeting someone for the first time? It is often said  that  (31)______a  good  first  impression  is  very  important,  and  according  to  recent  studies,  it appears that there is something to it. In his book, Blink, author Malcolm Gladwell says that we form an opinion of someone in the first 2 seconds after meeting them. In other words,  if  Gladwell is  right,  most of  us pass (32)______on people we meet almost immediately. It  makes (33)______that  we create a better first impression when we‟re friendly.  A  warm  smile  can  really  make  a  difference. 

And   then  if   we  have  interests   (34)______common,  the  other  person  may  feel  they  want  to get  t  know  us.  However,  when  we  meet  someone  from  abroad  who  (35)______a  foreign  language, there‟s  no  need  we  have  to  keep  our  distance  from  them.  If  we  decided  to  take  the  trouble  to communicate, we might make a new friend.
