25、marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 Being less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of profound discomfort that may well require therapy to dispel. And the sad truth is that
26、“clothing mismatches“ on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire (着装 )and the people with whom he or she comes in contact. Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very high standards for their employees and set strict guidelines for offi
27、ce attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to remember that no matter what your companys attitude is regarding what you wear, you are working in a business environment and you should dress accordingly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening w
28、ear than for a business meeting just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A senior vice president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary or sales assistant. Like
29、 it or not, you will be judged by your personal appearance. This is never more apparent than on “dress-down days“ when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on “business professional“ d
30、ays. Thus, when dressing in “business casual“ clothes, try to put some flair into your wardrobe choices, recognizing that the “real“ definition of business casual is to dress just one notch(等级 ) down from what you would normally wear on business-professional attire days. Remember, there are boundari
31、es between your career and your social life. You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the beach, or the office? Dress accordingly and
32、you will discover the truth in the axiom(公理 )that clothes make the man and the woman. When in doubt, always err on the side of dressing slightly more conservatively than the situation demands. 31 What is the passage mainly about? （ A） What is the difference between professional and casual dress? （ B
33、） A president of a company should dress differently from a secretary or sales assistant. （ C） How to dress properly in a business setting. （ D） Improper dress will make a person feel uncomfortable. 32 Which of the following statements is true? （ A） Every company has strict rules regarding office dre
34、ss. （ B） You can wear whatever you like if your company doesnt have high standards for dressing. （ C） You should dress according to the business setting even there are no fixed rules. （ D） In companies with relaxed rules on office dress, you can hardly spot a manager among other employees. 33 What d
35、oes “dress-down“(Line 1, Para. 3)probably mean? （ A） casual clothes （ B） business casual clothes （ C） business professional clothes （ D） eccentric clothes 34 Which statement best describes “dress-down days“ ? （ A） On dress-down days, you can wear whatever you like. （ B） Peoples clothes on dress-down
36、 days dont receive much attention. （ C） We cant judge a persons taste by his clothes on dress-down days. （ D） People are usually more careful about what they wear on dress-down days than on other occasions. 35 Which of the following is not the rule offered in the passage with regard to business dres
37、s? （ A） Remember to ask others for advice when you are not sure about what to dress. （ B） Think about how other guests will wear if you are invited to a dinner. （ C） For a business meeting and a concert, you should dress differently. （ D） Dress a bit conservatively if you are not sure about proper d
38、ress for a certain occasion. 35 Researchers who are unfamiliar with the cultural and ethnic groups they are studying must take extra precautions to shed any biases they bring with them from their own culture. For example, they must make sure they construct measures that are meaningful for each of th
39、e cultural or ethnic minority groups being studied. In conducting research on cultural and ethnic minority issues, investigators distinguish between the emic approach and the etic approach. In the emic approach, the goal is to describe behavior in one culture or ethnic group in term that are meaning
40、ful and important to the people in that culture or ethnic group, without regard to other cultures or ethnic groups. In the etic approach, the goal is to describe behavior so that generalizations can be made across cultures. If researchers construct a questionnaire in an emic fashion, their concern i
41、s only that the questions are meaningful to the particular culture or ethnic group being studied. If, however, the researchers construct a questionnaire in an etic fashion, they want to include questions that reflect concepts familiar to all cultures involved. How might the emic and etic approaches
42、be reflected in the study of family processes? In the emic approach, the researchers might choose to focus only on middle-class White families, without regard to whether the information obtained in the study can be generalized or is appropriate for ethnic minority groups. In a subsequent study, the
43、researchers may decide to adopt an etic approach by studying not only middle-class White families, but also lower-income White families, Black American families, Spanish American families, and Asian American families. In studying ethnic minority families, the researchers would likely discover that t
44、he extended family is more frequently a support system in ethnic minority families than in White American families. If so, the emic approach would reveal a more different pattern of family interaction than would the etic approach, documenting that research with middle class White families cannot alw
45、ays be generalized to all ethnic groups. 36 According to the first paragraph, researchers unfamiliar with the target cultures are inclined to （ A） be overcautious in constructing meaningful measures （ B） view them from their own cultural perspective （ C） guard against interference from their own cul
46、ture （ D） accept readily what is alien to their own culture 37 What does the author say about the emic approach and the etic approach? （ A） They have different research focuses in the study of ethnic issues. （ B） The former is biased while the latter is objective. （ C） The former concentrates on the
47、 study of culture while the latter on family issues. （ D） They are both heavily dependent on questionnaires in conducting surveys. 38 Compared with the etic approach, the emic approach is apparently more_. （ A） culturally interactive （ B） culture-oriented （ C） culturally biased （ D） culture-specific
48、 39 The etic approach is concerned with_. （ A） the general characterizes of minority families （ B） culture-related concepts of individual ethnic groups （ C） features shared by various cultures or ethnic groups （ D） the economic conditions of different types of families 40 Which of the following is t
49、rue of the ethnic minority families in the U. S. according to the passage? （ A） Their cultural patterns ate usually more adaptable. （ B） Their cultural concepts are difficult to comprehend. （ C） They dont interact with each other so much as White families. （ D） They have closer family ties than White families. 40 The promise of finding long-term technological solutions to the problem of world food shortages seems difficult to fulfill.
