A story
Passage A
I’m a college student, but I don’t dress like one. I like to dress nicely. My friends call me “Dapper (衣冠楚楚的) Dan”.
One day, I hung out with a friend. She was shopping for clothes. While she was trying on some clothes, I stood outside the dressing room. A woman walked up to me. She thought I worked there.
“I don’t want this shirt,” she said. “Can I just give it to you Is changing room 3 open I want to try these pants on.”
I calmly took the shirt, pointed to an employee (雇员) and said, “Let’s ask that young lady. I think she works here.”
“Oh, I’m sorry,” said the customer(顾客), laughing. “You’re just dressed so fancy.”
“Thank you, and it’s no trouble at all,” I said. “I’m just waiting for my friend.”
I walked up to the young lady. “Excuse me, is changing room 3 open ” I asked.
“Go for it,” she said.
“Perfect!” I said. “And can I just leave this shirt with you ”
“Yeah, sure,” said the young lady.
Just then, the floor manager came up to me. He had seen the whole conversation.
“You handled (处理) that very well,” He said. “Would you like to work here ”
It happened exactly at the time when I was looking for a new job. I wanted to move off campus (校园), so I needed to pay for my own housing. A week later, I was getting paid to help customers. A month later, I was in my own rental apartment. This all happened because of how I dressed that day.

If we have a car accident on the street and we see a police officers in uniform, we know we can get help from him or her. When doctors wear uniforms, it is easy for patients to find them.
