As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For e

38、xample, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader, and so on. The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter, and chang

39、e throughout life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our act

40、ions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather effortlessly. A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits, the buyer can choose sty

41、le and fabric. But an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our pocketbook. Having made a choice within thes

42、e limits we can have certain alterations made, but apart from minor adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks. Statuses too come ready made, and the range of choice among them is limited. （分数：1.00）(1).According to the writer, people often assume different statuses_.（分

44、ican is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince (Para.3), the writer means_.（分数：0.25）A.different people have different styles of clothesB.ready-made clothes may need alterationsC.statuses come ready made just like clothesD.our choice of statuses is limited(4).In as well as by our pocketbook, pocketbook means _.（分数：0.25）A.a book placed in the pocketB.a book sized as a pocket
