Mr. Evans works in Sydney. Last week he had a two-week holiday, but he didn’t know where to go. He said to his friend Robert, “I hate the hot weather here, but I can’t find a cool place in Australia. Where shall I take my holiday?” ‘That’s easy,’ said Robert, ‘You can go to Moscow. Snow and ice are covering the ground there now.’ Mr. Evans agreed with his friend. He bought a plane ticket and soon got to Moscow. He had a happy time there. But one day he got into trouble. After lunch he went to a park outside the city. He saw a dog following him while he was walking past a house. It was hungry and wished him to give it some food to eat, But he had no piece of bread or cake in his pockets. He tried to send it away, but it began to bark at him. Just at that moment, he saw a stone on the ground.

Deciding what to wear in the morning is a challenge for some people.We often worry about what others will think of us because of our clothes. But researchers are beginning to think that our clothing has an equally powerful effect on how we see ourselves.

Scientists Adam Galinsky and Hajo Adams report that there is science behind our style. In their research,Galinsky and Adams had some participants(參與者)wear white lab coats similar to the ones scientists or doctors wear. Other participants wore their normal clothes. The participants took a test that surveyed their ability to pay attention. In the experiment,participants saw cards with different-colored words on them. They had to say the color of the word they saw,not the word itself. The people wearing the white lab coats said the correct color of the word more often.

Galinsky and Adams think that the white coats made the participants feel more confident and careful. The researchers also believe that other kinds of "symbolic" clothes can influence the behavior of the people wearing them. A police officer's uniform or a judge's robe,for example,increases the wearer's feelings of power or confidence. And in workplaces that have a dress code,"symbolic" clothes may also affect how well employees do their jobs.

Fashion blogger Jessica Quirk believes that our clothes greatly affect how we feel about ourselves. According to Quirk,"There is joy and luck and confidence in what we wear. " On her blog called "What I wore," Quirk posts a photo of what she's wearing every day. She says that people should pay more attention to what they wear. For example,we should choose a look that makes us feel more creative and happy. One way to do this at work is to "dress up for the exciting job we want," she says,"not the boring job we have. " Another way is to wear special clothes that mean something to us. For example,Quirk wears one special pair of shoes to all her important meetings. They are her "lucky" shoes.

As Quirk points out-and as researchers have discovered-our clothes are "like our second skin. " The clothes we wear can affect our behavior. They can also tell the world something about us,without us having to say a word.

1.What do you think Paragraph 2 is mostly about?

A. Descrbing an experiment. B. The opinions of a blogger.

C. A record of two scientists. D. Advice from two scientists.

2.What happened in Galinsky and Adams' experiment? Put the steps into the correct order.

a. participants looked at the words each written in a different color.

b. the researchers counted the correct items.

c. the participants said the colors,not the words.

d. the researchers gave some participants white coats to wear.

A. d,c,a,b B. d,a,c,b C. b,a,c,d D. b,c,a,d

3.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The clothes we wear can affect how we feel.

B. The clothes we wear should be symbolic.

C. The clothes we wear make us feel more powerful.

D. The clothes we wear can affect what others think of us.
