职称英语（综合类）模拟试题（六）

　　Hearing such advice, one might say, "But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person. That's not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to at that way."

　　__48__. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "It is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one."

　　But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honest" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.

　　__49__. For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later.

　　The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. __50__ that is at least as important as how much we know.

　　A. In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.

　　B. Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.

　　C. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.

　　D. Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes.

　　E. He keeps looking over the other persons shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.

　　F. He is eager to make friends with everyone.

　　Shopping for Clothes

　　Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in __51__. He knows what he wants, and his __52__ is to find it and buy it. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones __53__.

　　For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. In that __54__ the salesman tries to sell the customer something else — he offers the nearest to the article required. Good salesman brings out such a substitute with __55__: "I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It __56__ to be the colour you mentioned." Few men have __57__ with this treatment, and the usual response is: "This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I should be __58__ my time and yours by trying it on."

　　For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the __59__ way. Her shopping is not often __60__ on need. She has never fully decided what she wants, and she is only "having a look round". She is always open to persuasion, willing to try __61__ any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that __62__ thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look-out for the unexpected __63__. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another __64__ selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently a（n） __65__one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
