PartⅢ Reading Comprehension（35minutes）
Directions：There are four passages in this part． Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A），B），C）and D）．You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre．
Passage One
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage：
Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we"fit"in society．As we go about our everyday lives，we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses．For example，we must judge whether the person inthe 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 change 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 actions 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 choose style 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 fit，as well as by our pocketbook．Having made a choice from minor adjustments，we tend to be limited to what the stores choice among them is limited．
51．In the first paragraph，the writer tells us that statuses can help us _______ ．
??A）determine whether a person is fit fora certain job
??B）behave appropriately in relation to other people
??C）protect ourselves in unfamiliar situations
??D）make friends with other people
52．According to the writer，people often assume different statuses _______ ．
??A）in order to identify themselves with others
??B）in order to better identify others
??C）as their mental processes change
??D）as the situation changes
