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.

FRANCE: The French, including children, shake hands with their friends and often kiss them on both cheeks, both upon meeting and leaving

ARAB countries: In Arab countries, close male friends or colleagues hug and kiss both cheeks. They shake hands with their right hand only, for longer but less firmly than in West. Contact between the opposite genders in public is considered obscene. Do not offer to shake hands with the opposite sex.

HUNGARY: Hungarians like to use the friendly greeting form of kissing each other on the cheeks. The most comon way is to kiss from your right to your left. When men meet for the first time, the casual greeting is a frm handshake

BELGIUM: People kiss on one cheek when they meet, regardless of the gender or how well they know

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 30 to 34.

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.

According to the article, once people form an opinion of you, it is__________.

A. changed automatically

B. impossible to modify it

C. easy to modify it

D. difficult to modify it
