Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each of the numbered paragraphs (41-45). There are two extra subheadings. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)
No matter how formal or informal the work environment, the way you present yourself has an impact. This is especially true in first impressions. According to research from Princeton University, people assess your competence, trustworthiness, and likeability in just a tenth of a second, solely based on the way you look.
无论工作环境是正式还是非正式,你展现自己的方式都会产生影响。这在第一印象中尤其如此。根据普林斯顿大学的研究,人们仅凭你的外表,就能在十分之一秒内评估你的能力、可信度和讨人喜欢的程度。
The difference between today's workplace and the "dress for success" era is that the range of options is so much broader. Norms have evolved and fragmented. In some settings, red sneakers or dress T-shirts can convey status; in others not so much. Plus, whatever image we present is magnified by social-media services like LinkedIn. Chances are, your headshots are seen much more often now than a decade or two ago. Millennials, it seems, face the paradox of being the least formal generation yet the most conscious of style and personal branding. It can be confusing.
当今职场与"为成功而着装"时代的区别在于,可选择的范围要广泛得多。规范已经演变并分化。在某些场合,红色运动鞋或正装T恤可以传达地位;在另一些场合则不然。此外,我们呈现的任何形象都会被LinkedIn等社交媒体服务放大。很可能,你的头像照片现在被看到的频率比一二十年前高得多。千禧一代似乎面临着一个悖论:他们是最不拘礼节的一代,却也是最注重风格和个人品牌的一代。这可能令人困惑。
So how do we navigate this? How do we know when to invest in an upgrade? And what's the best way to pull off one that enhances our goals? Here are some tips:
那么我们该如何应对呢?我们如何知道何时该投资升级形象?以及实现这一升级以促进我们目标的最佳方式是什么?以下是一些建议:

判断时机是否合适
As an executive coach, I've seen image upgrades be particularly helpful during transitions – when looking for a new job, stepping into a new or more public role, or changing work environments. If you're in a period of change or just feeling stuck and in a rut, now may be a good time. If you're not sure, ask for honest feedback from trusted friends, colleagues and professionals. Look for cues about how others perceive you. Maybe there's no need for an upgrade and that's OK.
作为一名高管教练,我发现形象升级在过渡期特别有帮助——当寻找新工作、步入新的或更公开的角色,或改变工作环境时。如果你正处于变化期,或只是感到停滞不前、陷入困境,现在可能是个好时机。如果你不确定,可以向值得信赖的朋友、同事和专业人士寻求诚实的反馈。留意他人如何看待你的线索。也许根本不需要升级,这也没关系。

明确你的目标
Get clear on what impact you're hoping to have. Are you looking to refresh your image or pivot it? For one person, the goal may be to be taken more seriously and enhance their professional image. For another, it may be to be perceived as more approachable, or more modern and stylish. For someone moving from finance to advertising, maybe they want to look more "SoHo." (It's OK to use characterizations like that.)
弄清楚你希望产生什么影响。你是想更新形象还是转变形象?对一个人来说,目标可能是被更认真地对待并提升职业形象。对另一个人来说,可能是被认为更平易近人,或更现代、更时尚。对于从金融业转向广告业的人来说,也许他们想看起来更像"SoHo风"。(使用这样的特征描述是可以的。)
(43)
理解情境
Look at your work environment like an anthropologist. What are the norms of your environment? What conveys status? Who are your most important audiences? How do the people you respect and look up to present themselves? The better you understand the cultural context, the more control you can have over your impact.
像人类学家一样审视你的工作环境。你所处环境的规范是什么?什么能传达地位?谁是你最重要的受众?你尊敬和仰慕的人如何展现自己?你对文化背景理解得越好,就越能控制自己产生的影响。
(44)
与专业人士合作
Enlist the support of professionals and share with them your goals and context. Hire a personal stylist, or use the free styling service of a store like J.Crew. Try a hair stylist instead of a barber. Work with a professional photographer instead of your spouse or friend. It's not as expensive as you might think.
寻求专业人士的支持,并与他们分享你的目标和情境。聘请私人造型师,或使用J.Crew等商店的免费造型服务。尝试找发型师而不是理发师。与专业摄影师合作,而不是让配偶或朋友拍照。这并不像你想象的那么昂贵。
(45)
提高效率
The point of a style upgrade isn't to become more vain or to spend more time fussing over what to wear. Instead, use it as an opportunity to reduce decision fatigue. Pick a standard work uniform or a few go-to options. Buy all your clothes at once with a stylist instead of shopping alone, one article of clothing at a time.
风格升级的目的不是变得更虚荣或花更多时间纠结穿什么。相反,应把它作为减少决策疲劳的机会。选择一套标准的工作制服或几个常用选项。与造型师一次性购买所有衣服,而不是独自购物,一次买一件。
