  Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.

     While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.

     Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.

     Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.

     All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.

     Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally' female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly" qualities required.

     This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of

women, ir o_nler of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.

     The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.

51. The word "liability" most probably means        

    A. disadvantage     B. advantage         C. misfortune        D. trouble

52. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness       

      A. makes women look more honest and capable

      B. strengthens the feminine qualifies required

      C. is of no importance to women

      D. often enables women to succeed quickly

53. Bowman's experiment shows that when it comes to polities, attractiveness        

      A. turns out to be a disadvantage to men

      B. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women

      C. affects men and women alike

      D. has as little effect on men as on women

54. It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often      

      A. practical     B. supportive      C. old-fashioned    D. one-sided

55. The author writes this passage to

      A. give advice to job-seekers who are attractive

      B. discuss the disadvantages of being attractive

      C. demand equal rights for women

      D. state the importance of appearance

Don’t get mad--- get promoted
When it comes to succeeding at work, conventional wisdom says you should check your emotions at the door. But Anne Kreamer, the author of the new book It’s Always Personal, disagrees. “It reduces people’s ability to bring their best selves to their work,” she says. ___1___ Here’s how to turn your emotions into opportunities.
__2___
How to get promoted: Engage in joint(聯(lián)合的)problem solving.
Losing your temper at work is “universally uncool,” say Kreamer.

I feel: Afraid and anxious.
How to get promoted: Improve planning skills.
___4___ Identify what’s behind your fear and take specific action --- ask your manager for details and take on some responsibilities. You’ll calm down and do a better job. “No boss minds helping an eager employee learn something new, but every boss hates having to deal with a bungled(搞糟了的) project,” says Kreamer.
I feel: Happy.
How to get promoted: Increase creativity and productivity.
When you’re in a positive mood, your brain activity actually shifts, says Kreamer. “Your focus deepens, and your dopamine(多巴胺) levels increase. ___5___”
