V

1.

A few com mon misc on cepti ons. Beauty is only skin deep. On e's physical assets and liabilities don't count all

that much in a man agerial career. A woma n should always try to look her best.

Over the last 30 years, social scie ntists have con ducted more tha n 1,000 studies of how we react to beautiful

and not so beautiful people. The virtually unanimous conclusion: Looks do matter, more tha n most of us realize.

The data suggest, for example, that physically attractive in dividuals are more likely to be treated well by their pare

nts, sought out as frien ds, and pursued roma ntically. With the possible excepti on of wome n seek ing man agerial

jobs, they are also more likely to be hired, paid well, and promoted. Once again, the scientists have caught us

mouthing pieties( 虔诚) while acting just the contrary. Their typical experiment works something like this. They give

each member of a group — college stude nts, or teachers or corporate pers onnel man gers— a piece of paper relat

ing an in dividual's accomplishme nts. Attached to the paper is a photograph. While the5 / 12

papers all say exactly the same thi ng the pictures are differe nt. Some show a strik in gly attractive pers on, some

an average-look ing character, and some an unu sually un attractive huma n being. Group members are asked to

rate the in dividual on certa in attributes, anything from pers onal warmth to the likelihood that he or she will be

promoted. Almost in variably, the better look ing the pers on in the picture, the higher the pers on is rated. In the

phrase, borrowed from Sappho, that the social scie ntists use to sum up the com mon percepti on, what is beautiful

is good.

In bus in ess, however, good looks cut both ways for wome n, and deeper tha n for men. A Utah State Uni versity

professor, who is an authority on the subject, expla ins: In terms of their careers, the impact of physical

attractiveness on males is only modest. But its potential impact on females can be treme ndous, mak ing it easier,

for example, for the more attractive to get jobs where they are in the public eye. On ano ther no te, though, there is

eno ugh literature now for us to con clude that attractive wome n who aspire(追求)to man agerial positi ons do not g

et on as well as wome n who may be less attractive.

1) . Accord ing to the passage, people ofte n wron gly believe that in purs uing a career as a

man ager ___ . B

A. a pers on's property or debts do not matter much
