Question

【題目】Making a Good First Impression

It's important to make a good first impression with people. Whether they're a customer or a potential friend, you want them to think highly of you. If they don't, you're not likely to make much progress moving forward. 【1】 Before you've even opened your mouth, people have already formed an opinion of you based on your body language. With that in mind, it's a good idea to change how you present yourself to ensure you're not giving off a bad atmosphere.

It's all in the face.

Any honest and fair person is going to be looking at your face when you're talking to them. Of course, that means whatever is going on up there will be picked apart more than anything else you do. 【2】 In the right circumstances, it will express warmth and show you to be welcoming, something that's unbelievably important for the first impression. Moreover, make sure to keep eye contact as often as possible It shows that you're focusing on them, especially when they're talking.

【3】

So many of us close our arms without thinking about it，but that's one of the biggest no-nos when it comes to first impressions. Standing there with your arms folded is going to set you apart from the crowd for all the wrong reasons. 【4】 This will drive people away from you very quickly and make a poor first impression.

Show your interest.

【5】 The wrong movements or positions can signal that you don't care what the other person has to say. Fortunately, there are non-verbal cues (暗示）you can make which will show your interest without going overboard. These include things like leaning forward and giving purposeful nods. Small gestures like this show that you're taking part in the conversation and not invested （投入的）in something happening over their shoulder.

A.Open up your body.

B.Stand close to others in conversation.

C.Show your interest when others are talking.

D.However, there's more to the first impression than what you say.

【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明。文章作者講述了幾個(gè)取得好的第一印象的方法。

【1】

劃線前句提到“如果人們沒(méi)有對(duì)你高度評(píng)價(jià)則你就不可能取得很大進(jìn)展”D選項(xiàng)“然而，第一印象比你說(shuō)的話更重要”和上句構(gòu)成“轉(zhuǎn)折”同時(shí)和點(diǎn)出下句“你還沒(méi)開(kāi)口說(shuō)話，人們就已經(jīng)根據(jù)你的肢體語(yǔ)言對(duì)你形成了看法”告訴我們第一印象是何時(shí)產(chǎn)生的。所以D項(xiàng)切題。故選D項(xiàng)。

【2】

根據(jù)劃線后句“在適當(dāng)?shù)那闆r下，它會(huì)表達(dá)熱情，顯示出你很受歡迎，這對(duì)于第一印象來(lái)說(shuō)是非常重要的”可知句中的“它”指代G項(xiàng)“確保你盡可能多地微笑，如果在這種情況下可以接受的話”中的笑容。因此G項(xiàng)既和后句構(gòu)成遞進(jìn)關(guān)系也符合本段的標(biāo)題“都在臉上”。所以G項(xiàng)切題，故選G項(xiàng)。

【3】

根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容“我們很多人都會(huì)不假思索地緊閉雙臂，但這是第一印象的最大禁忌之一。交叉雙臂站在那里會(huì)讓你從人群中分離出來(lái)。這會(huì)給人留下你很無(wú)聊，不想待在那里的印象。這會(huì)讓人很快遠(yuǎn)離你，給人留下不好的第一印象”可知，這段在告訴我們要放開(kāi)自己不要太過(guò)拘謹(jǐn)。故A項(xiàng)“打開(kāi)你的肢體”可以統(tǒng)領(lǐng)以下整段。A項(xiàng)切題。故選A項(xiàng)。

【4】

根據(jù)前句提到“交叉雙臂站在那里會(huì)讓你從人群中分離出來(lái)”可知，F項(xiàng)“這會(huì)給人一種你很無(wú)聊，不想待在那里的印象”中的It指代前句提及的“交叉雙臂站在那里”。同時(shí)F項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容和下句“這會(huì)讓人們很快遠(yuǎn)離你，給人留下不好的第一印象”構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系。所以F項(xiàng)切題。故選F項(xiàng)。

【5】

根據(jù)劃線后句“錯(cuò)誤的動(dòng)作或位置可以表明你不在乎別人說(shuō)什么”可知，肢體語(yǔ)言可以暗示你對(duì)某人興趣與否。E項(xiàng)“肢體語(yǔ)言表明你是否對(duì)某人感興趣”符合下句的邏輯。所以E項(xiàng)切題。故選E項(xiàng)。
