1、2022研究生综合英语篇一:研究生综合英语1修订版课文原文 Unit1 An Image or a Mirage? There is a distinct difference between a winning image and a mirage. A mirage is an illusion, and in your quest for a winning image, you must be capable of identifying such mirages. One of the common misread images stems from what people thin
2、k about eye contact. How many times have you heard, “You can tell hes an honest man because he looks you straight in the eye.” Evidently, many people must believe that a dishonest man feels so ashamed that hes not telling the truth that he cant even face them directly. But what about an honest indiv
3、idual who is too shy to look straight at you? Furthermore, a good can artist knows that many people judge integrity by the way one looks at them,so he deliberately includes eye contact in his act. Because you cant count on eye contact as an infallible test, you should never use it to evaluate anothe
4、r persons honesty. Nonetheless, since most people do judge others by this criterion, be sure that you always look them squarely in the eye. Evaluating a mans honesty by the way he looks at you makes no more sense than judging his integrity by the way your dog or cat reacts to him. Yet how many times
5、 have you heard a dogs master say, “Thats interesting Thor doesnt take to strangers very often. Hes a good judge of human nature, and the fact that hes friendly with you tells me some good things about you.” Once when I was in the home of a m prospect, his cat, Tiger, took such a liking to me that h
6、e sat on my shoulder during my entire sales presentation. When I was finished, my prospects wife said, “Mr. Shook, Tiger only does that with members of our immediate family. You must be a very honest person for her to be so friendly to you.” The truth of the matter was that I refrained from pushing
7、the cat off because I was afraid shed rip my suit or scratch my eyes out. However, I replied, “Yes, maam, Tiger obviously has some kind of instinct that enables her to accurately judge humans. She sure is a good judge of character.” Even though Tiger happened to be right in my case, I personally put
8、 very little faith in an animals instinctual ability to judge people. Id say his reactions have more to do with odors and body movement. Some people judge another person by the way he or she shakes hands. A good, strong grip represents character, while a “dead fish” handshake! is a bad sign. 1, too,
9、 dislike the flabby handshake with no life to it, but I am careful not m to use it as a basis for judging an individual. Again, its too easy for a con artist to put a hearty handshake into his act. Though you should give a firm handshake so youll immediately create a good impression,dont place too m
10、uch weight on the next fellows grip; it doesnt tell you anything concrete about him. Theres certain clean-cut appearance that creates an honest image. For example, a blond, blue-eyed young man with a boyish grin and a look that typifies the boy-next-door, All-American type will almost always inspire
11、 confidence in mothers. There is no logical reason for placing such blind faith in a man simply because of the way he looks, yet most people do make such quick judgments. Conversely, the seedy man with dark oily skin, greasy black hair, and a moustache is not considered honest-looking. Similarly, a
12、woman may have them looks which are usually associated with those of a streetwalker, whereas a high-priced call girl may look refined and refreshing. Naturally, clothes and in the case of women cosmetics, have a great deal to do with such aforementioned appearances, but unfortunately a persons m nat
13、ural looks, over which he or she has little control, play an important part in the judgments most people will make. I pity the hard-working, honest salesman who was born with the looks that make people automatically think, “Hes not the kind of man Id want to buy a used car from!” On the other hand,
14、a very devious individual may look like the type you can trust. How can you be sure that the hitchhiker who looks so clean-cut is any less dangerous than the one who, because of his appearance, looks like a risk? And how can you be sure that this one really is a risk? The point is that we are most o
15、ften being completely ueasonable in making such snap decisions. On a larger scale, voters often react favorably to a politician simply because of his clean-cut appearance. His opponent is often judged negatively because he has not been blessed with natural looks that generate trust. This kind of jud
16、gment is erroneous, and the consequences can produce devastating results. Granted, many people vote for a candidate strictly because of political issues, but the clean-cut image can tip the scales in favor of the wrong man in a close election. We make snap judgments about people on the basis of how
17、they express themselves. To revert to politics, many voters judge a candidates ability by the way he makes a public speech. But though a candidate may be an effective speaker, he may not be capable of doing the job for which he is running. I know many highly talented men who simply have not develope
18、d an ability to speak well in public, but who are excellent in communicating with others on a one-to-one basis. The ability to express yourself strongly is always important, but we are too often wrongly impressed by the man who comes across as eloquent, since it is always possible thatthis virtue is
19、 only“skin-deep.” Yet it is easy to imagine a politician with a clean-cut look and a magnetic speaking voice romping all over his unassuming but better qualified opponent. He wins solely because his image is convincing. After many years of interviewing and hiring salesmen, I have reached the conclus
20、ion that the man with the glib tongue doesnt necessarily become the top producer. Though there is a definite advantage in having a “natural” selling personality, more often than not the salesman with good working habits, proper motivation, and commitment is the one who becomes the best in his compan
21、y. Too often, the sales manager who hires salesmen simply because of their extroverted and flamboyant personalities will have a high turnover. Another influencing factor is the effect produced on the listener by the sound of a name. At some time or another, weve all been guilty of hastily forming an
22、 unwarranted opinion when we hear a “winning name” as opposed to a “losing” one. Hollywood recognized this fact long ago when the studios began changing the stars real names. One of my favorite movie lines is James Bonds response to Pussy Galore, the heroine in the movie Goldfinger. Meeting her for
23、the first time, he can only exclaim, “I must be dreaming!” Had her name been Harriett Finkelstein, the audience would never have been able to appreciate one of the screens all-time great names! Yet, no matter how great a name is, using it as a criterion in evaluating character is just as illogical a
24、s determining a persons value by a handshake. The beautiful, sexy redhead isnt always the best bed partner, nor is the big, strong man, whom we usually expect to be the hero, always braver than the small, frail man on the battlefield. Likewise, there is no sound reason for believing that the out-of-
