问答题 (61) {{U}}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 for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.{{/U}} While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. (62) {{U}}Handsome male executives were considered to have more integrity than plainer men: effort and ability, were thought to account for their success.{{/U}} Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to their ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive women executive were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.(63) {{U}}Interestingly. though the rise of the unattractive overnight success was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability, than was that of attractive overnight successes.{{/U}} 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,(64) {{U}}an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female job. but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position an pears to lack the "masculine" qualities required.{{/U}} 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 office. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them. (65) {{U}}The results showed that attractive male utterly defeated unattractively men. but the women who had been ranked, most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.{{/U}}

问答题61)Back in my early 20s. when "sensible" wasn't part of my weight-loss vocabulary., I tried a diet that was limited to just a few "healthy" foods. Three weeks into it, after religiously adhering to a regimen of salads and meats, I had nearly reached my goal of losing 8 pounds. 62) But my progress wasn't as sweet as I exnected. Instead of celebrating my emerging figure. I was obsessed with what I couldn't eat. Warm, crusty bread. Noodles smothered in red sauce. Chocolates packed with almonds. One night I abandoned the diet and gorged on every food I'd been missing. Over the next two weeks, I ate more than ever. No surprise that I quickly regained 8 pounds, and put on 2 more. 63) It sounds like the old diet-binge cycle that we've all heard about so often. But many weight-loss experts are starting to think about that cycle in a new. more positive way. The answer for long-term weight control, they say, may be just the opposite of restriction: it may simply be eating a greater variety of foods than ever. My brazen (and unfortunate) act of indulgence was the direct effect of a boring, restrictive diet, suggests Kathy Hubbert, coordinator of the EatRight Weight Management program at the University. of Alabama, Birmingham. "If you tell someone they cannot have, say, a piece of cheesecake, then that is the first thing they want to have," says Hubbert. "And then when they eat that piece of cheesecake, they say, 'Oh, now I've blown it, so I might as well blow it every day.'" At Tufts University in Boston, researchers studied 71 healthy men and women aged 20 to 80 years who provided detailed reports of everything they ate for six months. 64) People who routinely ate a variety of nutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains tended to be lean. The researchers found that when people eat a variety of desirable foods, especially vegetables, they eat fewer nutrient-poor, calorie-dense foods such as cookies, candy, and chips. Overall, they consume fewer calories without consciously restricting their intake. They are also much more likely to consume the full range of vitamins and minerals they need. 65) Nutrition studies, including one conducted by scientists at the Department of Agriculture. which analyzed the dietary records of 3.701 people representing a cross section of the US population, regularly find that individuals who eat different foods from each of the major food groups have the healthiest diets.

问答题 I have noticed that children are not even being school in social graces. At a Sunday brunch, a clown was making balloon animals for the children. 61) {{U}}My friend's daughter, Sarah, stood by me waiting for her turn. {{/U}}The children grabbed their balloons one by one and ran. 62) {{U}}I was the only adult present who prompted "What do you say" when the clown handed Sarah her balloon. The clown beamed at us, grateful he had actually been acknowledged. {{/U}} I don't blame the children, however. They emulate what they see. 63) {{U}}And what they are seeing is a society focused solely on acquisition -- be it another drink in a restaurant or a space on a crowded freeway -- without ever stopping to thank the source. {{/U}} Rude language is now so common that it is accepted behavior. And I'm not talking about the obviously blue vocabulary in books and movies, or that damn is considered harmless compared to what else has become acceptable. I'm referring to inconsiderate word choice. For example, while discussing a story idea with an editor, a very young stall member asked if I was the "chick" who had called for information. I said nothing, knowing that a show of displeasure would have labeled me oversensitive rather than him rude. 64) {{U}}Most people today feel proud to have built a society that treats the races, sexes, and economic classes more equally ever before. And, yes, we have made real strides in these areas. {{/U}}But isn't it ironic that these same people don't find it necessary to say "Excuse me" to an older couple walking very slowly in front of them, before zooming around the couple? It's not necessary to provide yet another analysis of the disintegration of the family or the breakdown of the social fabric or the price of democracy to explain what has happened to our society. The matter at hand is simply to thank the next person who provides a helping hand when needed. In a crowded world, manners are very important. Small, friendly human interactions help ease the everyday stress of having to hurry, trying to squeeze onto a crowded thoroughfare, standing in one more line to deal with a clerk of some kind, or calling a customer service representative for the third time about a mistake on a bill. Manners make us aware that everything we have derives from a source. 65) {{U}}Are we really so pressured that we cannot stop to observe simple courtesy? {{/U}}
