篇一：First impression

First impression

We have heard this saying, "you never get a second chance to make a good first impression ". People's impression of us is very important and we should try our best to make sure that first one is a good one .

There is no chance for the first impression,which means that it is difficult for us to change the first impression if we make a bad first impression.It takes just a quick glance, maybe three seconds, for someone to evaluate you when you meet for first time. In this short time, your appearance, your body language and how you are dressed would give a impression on others Although the first impression takes less than three seconds, it may last for months or years. So, it is easy for us to communicate with others if we give a good first impression on others. It is unavoidable for us to meet people that we instantly like and want to get to know more.Making a good first impression is critical for us to build relationships with them.First of all,you should dress modestly and appropriately and make sure that your clothing is clean and fits well when you plan to meet others.In addition,you had better speak clearly,which make you communicate clearly with the people you are meeting. Last but not least ,to be polite and courteous at all times.

In short,it's necessary for us to create a good first impression .We had better pay attention to making a good first impression.

篇二：2014年职称英语 概括大意和完成句子(6) -How We Form First Impression

第六篇 How We Form First Impression

1 We all have first impression of someone we just met. But why? Why do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or her — aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits.

2 The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world. Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits, even very minor difference in how a person’s eyes, ears, nose, or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as different1. In fact, your brain continuously processes incoming sensory information — the sights and sounds of your world. These incoming “signals” are compared against2 a host of “memories” stored in the brain areas called the cortex system to determine what these new signals “mean.” 3 If you see someone you know and like at school3, your brain says “familiar and safe.” If you see someone new, it says, “new — potentially threatening.” Then your brain starts to match features of this stranger with other “known” memories. The height, weight, dress, ethnicity, gestures, and tone of voice are all matched up. The more unfamiliar the characteristics, the more your brain may say. “This is new. I don’t like this person.” Or else, “I’m intrigued.” Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes, ethnicity, gestures — like your other friends; so your brain says: “I like this person.” But these preliminary “impressions” can be dead wrong4.

4 When we stereotype people, we use a less mature form of thinking (not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child) that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others. Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people — their history, interest, values, strengths, and true character — we categorize them as jocks , geeks , or freaks.

5 However, if we resist initial stereotypical impressions, we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly

like. If we spend time with a person, hear about his or her life, hopes, dreams, and become aware of the person’s character, we use a different, more mature style of thinking — and the most complex areas of our cortex, which allow us to be humane.

1. Your brain is so sensitive picking up facial traits，even very minor difference in how a person’s eyes, ears, nose, or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as different：从 even开始到 as different是个结果状语从句，相当于 that even very minor …，而 that是与主句中的 so呼应的。

2. against：和……对比

3. If you see someone you know and like at school, …：如果你在学校里看见某个你认识而且喜欢的人……。 like在这里是动词。

4. dead wrong：相当于 completely wrong。dead wrong是口语表达用语。

5. E 选 E的依据在第二段的第三句。

6. D选 D的依据在第二段的昀后两句。 Sensory information的意思就是 information perceived through sensory organs（视觉、听觉、、味觉、触觉、嗅觉等）。

7. C选 C的依据在第四段的第一句，该句是： When we stereotype people, we use a less mature form of thinking（not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child）that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others.

8. B选 B的依据在第五段第二句。

第六篇对别人的第一印象是怎样形成的

对刚刚遇到的人我们都会留下第一印象，为什么？为什么我们会对一无所知的人形成自己的印象——除去一些描述或显而易见的特征？

这与你的大脑如何感知世界是息息相关的。大脑对面部特征十分敏感，即使是每个人在眼睛、耳朵或嘴部的细小差异也会使大脑察觉到其不同之处。实际上，大脑一直在不断地对接收到的感官信息进行处理——包括影像和声音。大脑将这些“信号”与储存在脑皮层系统的大量“记忆”相比较以便确定这些新收到的信号的“意思”。

如果你在学校看到某个你认识而且喜欢的人，你的大脑会做出“熟悉安全”的判断；如果你看见了一个陌生的人，你的大脑会告诉你“陌生，有潜在的威胁”，紧接着你的大脑会开始将这个陌生人的特征与“已知”的记忆进行比较，包指身高、体重、穿着、种族、手势以及音调等等。特征越不相符，大脑越会告诫你，“这是陌生人，我不喜欢这个人”，或“我很好奇”。大脑也可能观察到一张新面孔，但却有着熟悉的穿着、种族特征和手势——像你的朋友，这时大脑会告诉你“我喜欢这个人”。但这些第一印象却可能是完全错误的。 当区分人时，我们使用一种欠成熟的思维方式（与小孩子不成熟的想法一样）去对别人做出简单并且范畴化的判断。（这佯的后果是）我们将人区分为骗子、反常的人或怪人，而不是对人的深度和广度，即历史、兴趣、价值、力量或真正的性格有所了解。

但是，如果对模式化的第一印象加以抑制，我们就会有机会对一个人有真正的了解。如果我们花一些时间与一个人在一起，倾听他或她的生活、希望和梦想，了解了这个人的性格，我们才会用一种不同的、更成

熟的方式去思考——即用脑皮层中昀复杂的区域进行思考，而这会使我们更富有人情味。

篇三：写作first impression

Assuming that a manager is going to interview some job applicants and one of his friends gives him a piece of advice that the first impression is not a reliable basis for judgment. This manager wants to hear more from others and decides to have a wall newspaper put up for more views on that topic.

It is commonly said that one's first impression of a person is the most important one, and this is certainly true when applied to job interviews. This is because the manager often has to interview a dozen or more candidates in the space of only one or two hours, allotting no more than a few minutes to each. Therefore, it is vital for the interviewee to make the best possible impression on his prospective employer during the interview.

However, the manager must be aware that he is seeing only the best side of the prospective employee and, as the saying goes, appearances can be deceptive. For instance, that smart new suit that the interviewee is wearing might have been hired from a tailor shop, or lent to him by his brother. In addition, the brief interview does not allow the manager to observe how well -- or how badly -- the interviewee might get along with his future colleagues.

On the other hand, an interviewee might give a bad impression through no fault of his own. It is possible that he woke up with a

headache that morning, or arrived late for the interview because of a traffic jam. The manager must be alert to such accidents, and not judge the interviewee too harshly. So I think that, although the first impression counts for a lot, the employer should find out some background knowledge about the interviewee before deciding whether to hire him or not.
