How do you feel about socks? Depending on how you view them, they can either be a necessity — in which case black, blue or grey will do — or they are a window to the way you can show off your personality and attitudes different from others’. Sounds too dramatic and crazy? Well, a new study has found the crazy socks you choose not only say a lot about you, but also say a lot about how people see you.

Despite our traditional attitudes, the study published in The Journal of Consumer Research confirmed the theory that people who are nonconformists (不墨守成规的人) can potentially be viewed as having higher status and more competent (能干的) than those who obey social rules. So what does this say about your choice of wearing bright neon or rainbow-striped socks?

Well, it found people who have shown to deliberately (故意地) choose to wear strange socks, are seen as having increased status and competency in the eyes of others.

“We believed that, under certain conditions, nonconforming behaviors can be more beneficial to someone than simply trying to fit in. In other words, when it looks deliberate, a person can appear to have higher status and a sense of competency,” stated authors of the study, Silvia and Francesca Gino from Harvard University.

Dr. Adam, a social psychologist from the Northwestern University, conducted a study that showed what we wear affects the way we think, feel and act. And this includes our socks. When we put on our silly and crazy socks, we are, in part, showing off our uniqueness and our confidence. It’s this belief that helps us to skillfully achieve more success without lack of bravery or confidence.

So, if you’re a lover of fun and unusual socks, then go out into the world and embrace them. Not only will you give people an insight into your nonconforming, unique personality, but they will hold you in good status as a result!

1.What is the study published in The Journal of Consumer Research mainly about?

A.The function of socks. B.The different characters of people.

C.The influence of wearing crazy socks. D.The reason why people achieve success.

2.How do people view those who wear unusual socks?

A.They hate social rules. B.They appear silly and crazy.

C.They are much wealthier. D.They are more outstanding and talented.

3.What does the author advise people to do?

A.Wear the socks they like. B.Have fun and enjoy the life.

C.Hold good status in the world. D.Let people have their own personality.

4.What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Trying to fit in will help you have higher status. B.Unusual socks are fashionable in society.

C.People should avoid wearing silly socks. D.What we wear may affect who we are.

How would you like an easy way to earn 2,500 dollars? All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals．There’s catch, however．You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week．There are no books or television or radio for amusement．You can’t leave until the week is up．And a camera will be recording your every move．

Two people actually took the job．The idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist．He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated．His goal was to raise people’s awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food．He decided to pay $ 5000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to lie like chicken for a week．

To Rob’s surprise, quite a few people answered his advertisement．He had interviews and selected Eric, a 24-year-old restaurant worker, and Pam, a 27-year-old chemist．The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide．A camera would record their experience, which would take place in an art museum．

The week was long and difficult．They slept on a hard wooden floor．They couldn’t stand up without banging（重击）their heads．They ate vegetarian mash（土豆泥）and drank water from a garden hosepipe（水龙头软管）．Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain．There were no sinks, mirrors, or toothbrushes in the cage．Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage．Visitors who came here were warned, “Do not food the humans．”

Finally it was over, Pam and Eric emerged from their cage．They had survived the week, and they each had a $2,500 check in their hands．When Rob Thompson opened the cage, Eric came out, changed into clean clothes, and ate a chocolate bar right away．“It’s great to be able to stand up,” he said．Pam just changed her clothes and left．After a week of visitors and reporters watching her, she didn’t want to talk to anyone．

1.What kind of person is Rob Thompson?

A．He is curious about people’s personal life．

B．He is kind-hearted to animals．

C．He hates people around．

D．He likes to help poor people．

2.What made it most difficult for the two to stay in the cage?

A．They didn’t know each other．

B．They couldn’t lie down to sleep in the cage．

C．They didn’t have meat to eat．

D．They had to do almost everything under others’ eyes．

3.Rob offered the money because he wanted________．

A．to see if there were any people who would like to live in a cage

B．to show the public how bitter animals’ life could be

C．to make more money by publishing the recorded video tapes

D．to improve housing conditions of working people like Eric
