ate their status. But in the business world everyone wears more or less similar suits, and you cannot tell at a glance who ranks higher or lower than another. So how do people in the business world show their superiority? An attempt to study this was made by two researchers using a series of silent films. They had two actors play the parts of an executive (經理) and a visitor, and switch roles each time. The scene had one man at his desk playing the part of an executive, while the other, playing the part of a visitor, knocks at the door, opens it and approaches the desk to discuss some business matter. The audience watching the films was asked to rate the executive and the visitor in terms of status. A certain set of rules about status began to emerge from the ratings. The visitor showed the least amount of status when he stopped just inside the door to talk across the room to the seated man. He was considered to have more status when he walked halfway up to the desk, and he had the most status when he walked directly up to the desk and stood right in front of the seated executive. Another thing that affected the status of the visitor in the eyes of the observers was the time between knocking and entering. For the seated executive, his status was also affected by the time between hearing the knock and answering. The quicker the visitor entered the room, the more status he had. The longer the executive took to answer, the more status he had. The experiment designed by the two researchers aimed at finding out __________ .A. how business is conducted by an executive and a visitor

B. how to tell the differences between an executive and a visitor

C. how to tell businessmen at a glance

D. how businessmen indicate status

Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?A.The executive has a higher status than the visitor

The longer the seated man was in answering the knock, __________ .A.the higher his status

B.the less it affected his status

C.the lower his status

D.the more it affected his status

Having entered the room, the closer the visitor approaches the executive, __________ .A.the less it affected his status

B.the lower his status

C.the more it affected his status

D.the higher his status

Which statement is NOT true?A.Soldiers wear uniforms with various symbols so that one can tell their status at a glance

B.In the experiment, one actor played the executive while the other played the seated man

C.Business people wear similar suits

to a young person think of going on the stage is “Don’t!”. But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company(剧团), usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed, the hours are long and the salary is tiny. Of course, some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his car. He stopped and got out to speak to the girl. He asked if she would like to go the film studio to do a test, and she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. The test was successful. And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!

d of a man in action – a man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right.” But “you’ve put a bug in his ear” – maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, of his walk, that he did not realize that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?” Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking in both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question. When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feel”, Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age”, he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.” According to the writer, greetings, such as “How do you feel?” ________ .A. show one’s consideration for others

B. are a good way to make friends

C. are proper to ask a man in action

D. generally make one feel uneasy

The question “How do you feel?” seems to be cored and suitable when asked of _______ .A.a man working at his desk

B.a person having lost a close friend

D.a friend who is ill

The writer seems to feel that a busy man should __________ .A.be praised for his efforts

B.never be asked any question

C.not be bothered

D.be discouraged from working so hard

George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his _________ .A.cheerfulness

B.cleverness

C.ability

D.politeness

“You’ve put a bug in his ear “means that you’ve __________ .A.made him laugh

B.shown concern for him

C.made fun of him

D.given him some kind of warning
