Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 38 to 42.
When we meet people for the first time, we often make decisions about them based entirely on how they look.
And of course, we too are being judged on our appearance. Undoubtedly, it’s what’s inside that’s important but
sometimes we can send out the wrong signals and so get a negative reaction, simply by wearing inappropriate
clothing.
When selecting your clothes each day, it is therefore important to think about who you’re likely to meet, where
you are going to be spending most of your time and what tasks you are likely to perform. Clearly, on a practical
level, some outfits will be more appropriate to different sorts of activity and this will dictate your choice to an
extent. However, there’s no need to abandon your individual taste completely. After all, if you dress to please
somebody else’s idea of what looks good, you may end up feeling uncomfortable and not quite yourself.
Some colours bring your natural colouring to life and others can give you a washed-out appearance. Try out
new ones by all means, but remember that dressing in bright colours when you really like subtle neutral tones
or vice versa will make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. You know deep down where your own taste
boundaries lie. It may be fun to cross these sometimes, but do take care not to go too far all at once.
Reappraising your image isn’t selfish because everyone who comes into contact with you will benefit. You’ll
look better and you’ll feel a better person all round. And if in doubt, you only need to read Professor Albert
Mehrabian’s book Silent Messages, which showed that the impact we make on each other depends 55 percent
on how we look and behave, 38 percent on how we speak, and only seven percent on what we actually say.
(Adapter from “Expert First” by Jan Bell and Roger Gower)

A. Choosing Appropriate Business Suits B. Making Judgements about People’s Appearance
C. Making Your Image Work for You D. Creating a Professional Image
Question 39. The word “outfits” in paragraph 2 mostly means .
A. sets of clothes. B. types of signals.
C. types of gestures. D. sets of equipment.
Question 40. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2 as a factor to be considered when
choosing clothes?
A. Places you spend time in. B. Other people’s views on beauty.
C. Kinds of tasks you perform. D. People you meet.
Question 41. The word “others” in paragraph 3 refers to .
A. neutral tones. B. taste boundaries. C. colours. D. means.
Question 42. According to Professor Albert Mehrabian, the impact we make on each other depends mainly on
.
