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 agood deal
abou 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 ofus. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the
initial phases of interaction that is likely to oecur.An elderly middle-class man
or woman may be alienated(疏远) by a young adult wbo is dresed in an unconventional
manner, regadless of the person's education, background, or interest.
People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean.Adolescent girs can easily
agree on the lifestyles of girls who wear cerain outits(套装),including the number
of boyfriends they likely have had and whether they smoke or drink. Newscaster, or
the announcers who read the news on TV,are considered to be more convincing, honest
and competent when they are dressed conservatively.And college students who view
themselves as taking an active role in their interpersonal relationships say they

successfully.Moreover, many of us can relate instances im which the clothing we wore
changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we acted.Perhaps you have
used clothing to gain confidence when you anticipated astrssful situation,such as
ajob interview,or a court appearance.
In the workplace, men have long had welldefined precedents and role models for
achieving success.lt has been otherwise for women.Agood many women in the business
world
and
“ feminine"aitributes they should convey by their professional clothing. The
variety of clothing alternatives to women has also been greater than that available
for men.Male administrators tend to judge women more faworably for managerial
positions when the women display less “feminine"grooming(打扮)- shorter hai,
modenate use of make-up,and plain tailored clothing.As one male administator
confessed,"an attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer intervicw, but
she won'tget ajob.”

Passage Two
The destruction of our natural resources and contamination ofour food supply
continue to occur, largely because of the extreme dificulty in affxing legal
reponsibility on those who continue to trat our environment with reckless
abandon.Attempts to prevent pollution by legislation,economic incentives and
fiendly persuasion have been met by lawsuits,personal and industrial denial and long
delays — not only in accepting responsibility,but more importantly, in doing
something about it
lt seems hat only when govemment decides itcan afford tax incentives or production
sacrifices is there any initiative for change.Where is industry's and our
recognition that protecting mankind's great treasure is the single most important
responsibility? If ever there will be time for environmental health professionals
to come to the frontlines and provide leadership to solve environmental problems,
that time is now.
We are being asked, and in fact, the public is demanding that we take positive
action.It is our
responsibility as professionals in environmental health to make the diference. Yes,
the ecologists, the environmental activists and the conservtionists serve to
communicate, stimulate thinking and promote behavioral change. However, it is those
of us who are paid to make the decisions to develop,improve and enforce environmental
standards, I submit,who must lead the charge.
We must recognize that environmental heath issues do not stop at city limits,county
lines,state or even federal boundaries. We can nio longer afiord to be
tunnel-visioned in our approach. We must visualize issues from every perspective
to make the objective decisions.We must express our views clearly to prevent media
distortion and public confusion.
I believe we have a threc-part mission for the present.First we must continue to
press for improvements in the quality of life that people can make for
themselves.Second, we must investigate and understand the link between environment
and health. Third, we must be able to communicate technical information in a form
hat citizens can understand.If we can accomplish these three goals in this decade,

time has not yet come for them to put due emphasis on it
it is difficult for them to take effective measures

pollution dollars truly

Passuge Three
Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations
and that ifcountries play games together they will leam to live together. Others
say that the opposite is tne: that intemational contests encourage false national
pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.There is probably some truth in both
arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done litle to support the view
that sport encournges international brotherhood.Not only was there the tragic
incident involving the murder of athletes,but the Games were also ruined by lesser
incidents caused principally by minor national contests.
One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation afier the
bockey final.There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers
More money should be spent in order to stop pollution.
Ordinary citizens have no access to technical infomation on pollution.
Eforts should be exerted on pollution prevention instead of on remedial

objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should
nothave been disallowed and that theiropponents'victory was unfair.
Their manager was in a rage when he said:“This wasn't hockey. Hockey and the
International Hockey
Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such
behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.
TheAmerican baseball team announced that they would not yield first place to
Russin,afteradisputable end of their contest. The game had ended in disturbance.
It was thought at first that the United States had won, by asingle point, but it
was announced that there were three seconds stil to play.A Russian player then
threw the ball from one end of the court to the other,and another player propped
it into the basket, It was the
first time The USA had ever lost an Olympic baseball match.An appeal jury debated
the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand.The
American then woted not to receive the silver medals.
Ineidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather
than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as
individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for But in the
present organization of the Olympics there is fir too much that encourages aggressive
patriotism.
11.According to the author, recent Olympic games have
A. created goodwill between the nations
B. bred only false national pride
C. barely showed any intemational friendship
D. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatrd
12.What did the manager mean by saying,".Hockey and the Intemational Hockey
Federation are finished"?
A.His team would no longer take part in intermational games.
B.Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.
C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.
D.The Federation should be dissolved.
13.The baseball example implied that
A.too much patriotism was displayed in the incident
B.the announcement to prolong the match was wrong
C. the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decision
D.the American team was right in rejccting the silver medal
14.The author gives two examples in paragraphs 2 and 3to show
A.how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in national games
B. that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to be
C. that competiveness in the games sometimes discourages intemational friendship
D. that unfair decisions are common in Olympic games

outdooradvertising.Creative
ad men went into television and print. Tacky billboards and bus posters were for
brainless bores. Now
atitudes are changing as more and more of the outdoor advertising industy falls into
the hands of
mutinationals run by people with Harvard MBAS.
The world outdoor-advertising market—billboards, transport and "sreet funiture”
(things like bus
shelters and public toilets)—is worth aboutS18 bilion ayeat. While this isjust6%
ofallthe world'sspending
on advertising,it is one of the fastest-growing segments, having doubled its market
share in recent years.
Outdoor advertising'sappeal isgrowing as TV and printare losing theirs.Frgmentation
and thesoaring costs ofTV ads are prompting clients to consider alternatives.
Outdoor adverising is now refered to as the
last true mass-market medium.It is also chenp.A 30-second prime-time TV slot costs
over 60,000 pounds;
placing an ad on a bus shelter for two weeks works ou at about 90 pounds.
Adding to its attraction has been a revolution in the equality and ingenuity of
outdoor displays. Famous

This sort of innovation has atracted a new class of adverisers. Recent data sbows
