The man was Dr. James Naismith, and his purpose was to invent a vigorous gam

Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you anticipated a stressfu
47、l situation, such as a job interview, or a court appearance. In the workplace, men have long had well defined precedents and role models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate mixture of “masculine“ and “fem
48、inine“ attributes 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 favorably for managerial positions when the women display less “feminine“ grooming-shorte
49、r hair, moderate use of make-up, and plain tailored clothing. As one male administrator confessed. “An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she won, t get a job.“ 73 According to the passage, the way we dress _. （ A） provides clues for people who are critical of us （ B） has a direct influence on the way people regard us （ C） indi
