Decide if the time is right
Have confidence in yourself
Understand the context
Work with professionals
Make it efficient
Know your goals
No matter how formal or informal the work environment, the way you present yourself has an impact. This is especially true in the 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.
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 other 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.
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 than enhances our goals? Here are some tips:
41___[B] Decide if the time is right
As an executive coach, I've seen image upgrades be particular 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
42_____[G]Know your goals
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 )
43 ____[D]Understand the context
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.
44 _____[E]Work with professionals
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.
45 ______[F]Make it efficient
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.
参考答案： BGDEF
1、精读小标题，去同存异
A.Create a new image of yourself创造自己的新形象;B.Decide if the time is right决定时间是否正确;C.Have confidence in yourself相信你自己;D.Understand the context理解情境;E.Work with professionals和专家一起工作;F.Make it efficient使它有效;G.Know your goals了解你的目标。在认真分析后，我们发现各选项的含义较为清晰，并没有含义相同或相近的选项。
2、通读对应段落，了解大意
41题，第四段中主要讲，作者认为"升级形象在需要做出改变的时候非常有用，如果你处于需要改变的时期，或者处于困顿时期，那就是一个比较合适的时间了。如果你还不确定是否需要改变的话，你可以咨询你的好朋友或者是同事。"从这里可以看出确定改变时机的重要性，这和B项相符合。至于42题，空格后面的第一句话就是本段的中心句，第二句以及后面的内容则分别举例讲述了对于不同的人，他对于改变想要达到什么样的效果则给予了不同的期望，所以我们只要选择和第一句话"明白自己想要获得什么样的效果"相对应的表达即可，这也就和G项"了解你的目标"相对应了。43题，空格后的第一句话：像一个人类学家一样去看待你的工作环境，我们只要选出这句话的同义替换就行，因为后面的问句就都是具体的举例了。D项中的context 情境和environment是同义替换词，所以这题可选择D项。44题后面这一段则通过各种举例说明"请求其他的专家，获得他们的帮助"，这和E选项表达的内容相似;45题后面这一段的第一句话就指出了"不要在该穿什么上花太多时间"，后文中还指出"一次购买完所有的东西"，简而言之就是"办事要有效率"，所以该题可选择项F。
