• 13．Spring is coming，and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs.Competition is tough，so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices.Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may accept us，but the workplace may not.
     A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos（文身），nose rings，or certain dress styles.It is true you can't judge a book by its cover，yet people do "cover" themselves in order to convey certain messages.What we wear，including tattoos and nose rings，is an expression of who we are.Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances，so do companies.Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons，but the main concern is often about what customers accept.
     Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom，but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money.Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees，because those people represent the companies to their customers.
     As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers.There are plenty of well-qualified candidates，so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers.Even though I am open-minded，I can't expect all our customers are.
     There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer.No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards，as long as its standards are legal.
  
  （1）Which of the following is the newspaper editor's opinion according to Paragraph 2？

  
  A．People's appearances convey messages about themselves.
  B．Customers' choices influence dress standards in companies.
  C．Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.
  D．Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.
  （2）What can be inferred from the text？

  
  A．Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.
  B．Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.
  C．Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.
  D．What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.
  （3）Which of the following can replace the underlined world "reject" in Paragraph 4？

  
  A．remind.
  B．repeat.
  C．refuse .
  D．reserve.
  （4）Which of the following would be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Personal Choices Matter.
  B．Appearances Matter.
  C．Employees Matter.
  D．Hiring Managers Matter.
  （5）The author's attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may be described to be

  .
  A．negative
  B．positive
  C．enthusiastic
  D．sympathetic

  We dance from Florida to Alaska，from north to south and sea to sea.We dance at weddings，birthdays，office parties and just to fill the time.

     （3）

  "I can tell you about one young couple，"says Bridges. "They're learning to do traditional dances.They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile. （4）

  "
     So，do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better，calmer，healthier？Andrea Hillier says， "Dance，like the pattern of a beating heart，is life.Even after all these years，I want to get better and better.（5）

  I find it hard to stop!Dancing reminds me I'm alive."
