Beauty has always been regarded as
something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and
healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal
consultants give them better advice of finding jobs. Even judges are softer on
attractive defendants. But in 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 perceived as having more integrity than
plainer men; effort and ability were thought to account for their
success. Attractive female executives were considered to have
less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to
ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive women
executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the
attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the
unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships
and less to ability than was that of attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is
perceived to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine than the less
attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally
female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position
appears to lack the "masculine" 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, in
order 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 utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked
most attractive invariably received the fewest
votes.

单选题What will the man most probably do?
单选题An embarrassing experience It was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, "have you read this?" I replied with extreme foolishness, "Yes, hundreds of times. " "And you have nothing to declare?" "Nothing. " "How long have you been out of this country?" "About three months. " "And during that time you have acquired nothing?" "Nothing but what is on the list I have given you. " He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was utterly unexpected. "Where did you get that watch?" I could have kicked myself. Two days ago, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey. I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement. "It is not a question of confiscation, " he said, "there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?" It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage.

单选题It is, everyone agrees, a huge task that the child performs when he learns to speak, and the fact that he does so in so short a period of time challenges explanation. Language learning begins with listening. Individual chirden very greatly in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will "obey" spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to trace the development from. the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress, sociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the baby's intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their repertoire(能发出的全部声音). This self-imitation leads on to deliberate (有意识的)imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.
