    Looking for a good job is a fierce competition for graduates, so we must be careful to make our personal choices. Our family and friends may say it doesn't matter whatever we are wearing, but the workplace may not.

    Some companies forbid visible tattoos (纹身), nose rings, or certain odd dress styles. A high school newspaper editor says it is unfair to judge a person by his appearance. However, as for me, I think we have to admit what we wear does convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of our identity and our thoughts. So it makes sense that companies dress standards exist in the business world, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.

    Others may argue what we dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for companies it is more about whether they can make money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees because those people represent the companies to their customers.

    I am paid to be a hiring manager and to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are so many qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to refuse someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can't expect all our customers are.

    You should be responsible for yourself, if the company says your dress does not match the standards. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.

    1. (1) Which of the following will the newspaper editor agree with according to Paragraph 2?
      A . The candidate should also be treated equally even if he wears tattoos or nose rings. B . What people dress is only a way to carry messages about themselves. C . It isn't encouraged to wear strange dress styles. D . Companies dress standards will be influenced by customers' choices.
    2. (2) What can be inferred from the text?
      A . Candidates have the freedom to decide what to wear for an interview. B . Because customers' choices matter most, what to wear is not a matter of personal choice. C . As a hiring manager, one should make the best impression on their candidates. D . Companies sometimes have to change their standards to meet their candidates' need.
    3. (3) Which would be the best title for the text?
      A . Your Appearances Matter B . Personal Choices Matter C . Employers Matter D . Hiring Managers Matter
    4. (4) What was the author's attitude towards strange dress styles in companies?
      A . Disagreeable. B . Unconcerned. C . Favorable. D . Objective.
