Question

【题目】Does meeting new people make you nervous? If so, you are not alone. But making a good first impression isn’t as hard as you might think. It just involves a few simple choices.

Look your best

【1】But you don’t need to look like a model to make a good impression. You just need to take care of yourself. Make sure your clothing is clean, not wrinkled and appropriate for the situation. 【2】

Stand tall

The way you stand, sit and move tells others a lot about you. Standing up straight makes you look and feel confident. When you approach someone, make eye contact and smile to show you’re friendly and interested.【3】

Speak up

Speak loudly and clearly enough so that people don’t have to struggle to hear you. If you don’t know what to say, ask questions. 【4】When people are talking, pay attention to what they’re saying rather than planning what you’ll say next. And if you’re not sure what they mean, ask!

Value people

Most importantly, show people you care. Your concerns for them will be obvious if you smile and listen carefully. 【5】Don’t keep them waiting. Everyone you meet is important. So make eye contact, smile and greet them. They’ll appreciate it and others may be watching.

A. And remember, you are important, too.

B. Respect other people’s time, too.

C. Most people enjoy talking about themselves.

D. Then greet them with a firm handshake.

E. One survey said blue and black are best for job interview.

F. Obviously your appearance influences people’s impression of you.

G. Don’t forget little things like brushing your teeth.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】F

【2】G

【3】D

【4】C

【5】B

【解析】本文介绍如何在与陌生人的第一次见面中给人留下深刻的印象。

【1】此处为段首题。根据空后一句But you don’t need to look like a model to make a good impression，关键词是but，表前后转折，后一句说你没有必要看起来像模特一样漂亮，因此前一句肯定是说你要长得好看，外表很重要，故选F。

【2】根据本段的标题意思可知，本段谈论的是人的外表，E项和G项都涉及到人的外表，但E项“蓝色和黑色的衣服很适合面试”不太适合文章主题，本文讲的是如何在与陌生人会面的时候制造好的第一印象，并没有谈到面试，故选G项更适合。

【3】根据空前一句话When you approach someone, make eye contact and smile to show you’re friendly and interested.说的是与人见面的事情，要眼神交流，微笑以展示你很友好和感兴趣，D项的握手正好是与人见面交际的一种方式，和前文能很好的衔接，尤其是时间连词then，眼神交流微笑之后就是握手，故选D。

【4】根据空后一句话When people are talking, pay attention to what they’re saying rather than planning what you’ll say next.可知，此处说的是当人们在说话的时候，要去倾听而不是计划接下来你要说的事情，所以前一句从逻辑上要和后一句衔接起来，只能选C，“大多数人喜欢谈论他们自己”，这样才可以和后一句中的人们在说话的时候意思匹配起来，故选C。

【5】根据后面一句话Don’t keep them waiting可知，不要让别人一直等，所以前一句就可以选B，“尊重他人的时间”，“别让别人等”，前后逻辑匹配，故选B。
