阅读与理解(4)　主旨大意题(读尾句抓大意)　 工作和职业 人们在社会当中从事着各种各样的工作，工作给人们带来充实和乐趣，此项话题也是每年高考中必不可少的话题，如2013山东卷阅读理解A篇，2013浙江卷阅读理解D篇等。;美文赏析 As any serious job-hunter knows，it helps to dress smartly and smile at that all-important interview.But research has shown that a firm handshake is what really matters when it comes to① impressing potential② employers. Although previous studies have shown a limp，“wet fish”handshake indicates③ shyness while a firm handshake symbolizes④ confidence，there has been little evidence about the effect this has on an interviewer.;The US research looked at 98 undergraduates taking part in mock(模拟) interviews with businesses.As each was graded on their overall performance，five“handshake raters”also marked them on their grip，strength，duration，vigor and eye contact. Professor Greg Stewart，from the University of Iowa，who led the study，said those who scored highly with the handshake raters were also considered to be the mostlikely to be hired by the interviewers.Students with gentle shakes were judged to be more timid and less impressive.The study，published in the Journal of Applied Psychology，also found women, with a firm handshake were likely to be evaluated⑤ more favorably than their male counterparts.;Professor Stewart said，“Weve found that interviewers make up their mind about a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview.But we found that the first impression begins with a handshake that sets the tone for the rest of the interview.We dont consciously remember a persons handshake but it is one of the first non-verbal(非语言的)clues we get about the persons overall personality, and that impression is what we remember.”;Body language experts warn，however，that the firmness needs to be just right，as an excessively⑥ firm handshake can indicate a controlling personality and a lack of trustworthiness. The handshake is thought to have originated in medieval Europe as a way for kings and soldiers to show that they did not intend to harm each other. 【解题导语】
