THE IMPORTANCE OF FIRST IMPRESSIONS

We have all heard the expression, “you can’t judge a book by its cover.” However, it seems that is exactly what most people do. The human brain seems to be wired in such a way that we make very strong, lasting

 

judgments about the people we meet within the first 30 seconds. And it is true, you may be able learn a lot about a person by their first impression. But can you really learn all you need to know?

May be there is something affecting your first impression. Possibly the person is nervous or upset. Maybe you are in a bad mood or not feeling well. All of these factors and more could influence a first impression, so should people place so much weight on it?

Many people feel that a first impression is extremely important. Once those people form an idea of you, it is often difficult for them to get beyond it. If someone feels that you are something you really aren’t because of your first impression, then that is obviously not a good thing.

Yet many people really do still rely deeply on first impressions. One good example is the job interview. We dress nicely for job interviews for a very good reason: to make a good first impression. In addition to our outward appearance, many people tend to put on something of an act. By being extremely polite and showing interest, we feel that we will make a good first impression and have a better chance getting the job.

Is this the way things should be? Probably not. Will this situation ever change? The answer to that question is the same - probably not. It is just human nature to rely on a first impression. Everyone knows that they do it and most people know that it's not the right thing to do.

The author thinks that people will continue to rely on first impressions because_____.

A. people refuse to change

B. people like to deceive other people

C. it’s human nature

D. it’s easy to change them

VI Read the following passage and answer each of the question below. ( 10 points )

We speak about the weather almost everyday. Before we begin doing something we want to know what kind of weather it is going to be.

Why do we speak about the weather so often? The answer is not difficult. We want sunny weather when we go for a walk in the country, and on a rainy day we stay at home reading books, watching TV or doing other things.

When we are at the seaside, windy weather is not pleasant . It is difficult to swim when the wind blows. And the wind can change good weather into bad one. The sun will stop shinning, and the rain may come.

And is there anything which we can do and must do in any weather? Yes, of coure there is. As English people say*rain or shine we must go to school.*.School is good in any weather, isn’t it?

It is obviously important for a farmer, a fisherman, an airplanr pilot, and a hip’s captain to know what the weather will be like. Unless they know what weather to expect , they cannot make their plans.

1 How often do we speak about the weather?

2 What do we usually do on a rainy day?

3 What is wrong with us when we are at the seasidde on a windy day?

4 According to the writer, what thing can we do and must we do in any weather?

5 Why is it important for us to know what kind of weather it is going to be?
