Question

(C)
The new year has come 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 (纹身）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 (传递)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 (雇员),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 cause he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.

70. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as ________ .
A. enthusiastic B. negative C positive D. sympathetic
(答案是B，可我觉得是C啊。)希望大家帮我找一下原文中的线索，谢谢！

Answer 1

70. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as ________ .
A. enthusiastic B. negative C positive D. sympathetic
选B

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 (雇员),because those people represent the companies to their customers. 尽管怎么穿着是个人的自由，但是员工的衣着对于一家公司而言，影响颇大。很多雇主都注重员工的衣着打扮，因为员工的形象代表的就是该公司的形象。

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. 作为负责招聘录用的我，更倾向于选择那些能给我们公司的客户带来良好印象的员工。可以供我选择的应聘者如此之多，那把那些有可能会给客户带来不好印象的应聘者给拒绝掉，这一做法也无可厚非。尽管我这人思想比较开明，但难保我们公司所有的客户都能接受这种奇装异服的打扮。

注意题中的“strange dress styles in the workplace" 在工作场合穿着打扮比较标新立异，奇装异服的，作者对此的态度。从上面翻译的两段话，可以看出作者认为员工的穿着代表的是公司的形象，尽管作者本人对他人的衣着怎么态度还是比较开明，但是一旦涉及到公司的利益，作为招聘主管的他，还是会倾向选择具有良好形象的应聘者，能给客户留下好印象的那些应聘者。
重点在in the workplace，在工作场合，作者对这种衣着打扮是持否定态度的，认为这种打扮有损公司的形象。 【其实个人觉得，一般除了像广告公司或者设计公司这类需要创新需要个性的公司会欣赏打扮独特的员工外，正常的公司都倾向于打扮规规矩矩，形象良好的员工的吧】

71. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept. 衣着打扮特别这种现象还是有存在的，不过其存在的原因各异，主要还是看该公司的客户能否接受，看客户的偏好。【就像我提到的可能某些需要创意的公司，它的客户会乐意看到这类穿着有新意的员工】

所以前面提到it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos....... 那个编辑认为公司严禁员工纹身，穿奇装异服的这种行为是不公平的 【不管是什么类型的公司，都禁止员工这些新奇打扮，这做法有点“一刀切”，不是很合理，毕竟不同公司的需要有所不同】

C选项 Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated. 其实第二段并没有明确提到某些雇主对这些衣着打扮的员工或者应聘者有歧视，对他们给予了不公平的对待。只是说discourage visible tattoos......在公司内严禁这类打扮，然后说这种规定，这种做法是unfair的，不公平的。

其实个人的感觉，第二段一开始那个编辑提到这种“一刀切”的做法是不对的，然后后面说到，就像不同的人通过打扮来展现自己的性格那样，一个公司也通过员工的这些形象来展现公司的整体形象，因此需不需要这类Strange dress styles具体还是要根据该公司的性质与实际需要的，而不能一概而论，所以我个人感觉其实那个编辑是认为Strange dress styles should not be 【discouraged 】in the workplace. 的，不过A选项那边不一样。。。。。。 so 我就提供一下思路仅供参考一下算了。。。

Answer 2

70题，应该是B啊，穿着strange（奇怪的）dress styles，肯定是negative（消极）啦，不会是positive（积极）
71题，关于newspaper editor‘ options的话只有一句： it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos nose rings, or certain dress styles.意思以貌取人不公平。选项A应该是错的，A的观点是author本文作者的观点。我也觉得答案是C。本回答被提问者采纳
