At work, as in life, attractive women get a lot of good lucks. Studies have shown that they are more likely to be【C1】______than their plain-Jane colleagues because people tend to project【C2】______traits【C3】______them, such as a sensitive heart and a cool head, they may also be at a/an【C4】______in job interviews. But research suggests otherwise.
Brad Hanks at Georgia State University looked at what happens when job hunters include photos with their resume, as is the【C5】______in much of Europe and Asia. The pair sent made-up applications to over 2,500 real-life【C6】______. For each job, they sent two very similar resume, one with a photo, one without. Subjects had previously been graded for their attractiveness.
For men, the results were【C7】______expected. Hunks were more likely to be called for an interview if they included a photo. Ugly men were better off not including one. However, for women this was【C8】______. Attractive females were less likely to be offered an interview if they included a mugshot. When applying directly to a company (rather than through an agency) an attractive woman would need to send out 11 CVs on average【C9】______getting an interview; a/an【C10】______qualified plain one just seven.
At first, Mr. Hanks considered【C11】______he calls the "dumb-blonde hypothesis"—that people【C12】______beautiful women to be stupid.【C13】______, the photos had also been rated on how【C14】______people thought each subject looked; there was no【C15】______between perceived intellect and beauty.
So the cause of the discrimination must【C16】______elsewhere. Human resources departments tend to be【C17】______mostly by women. Indeed, in the Israeli study, 93% of those tasked with selecting whom to invite for an interview were female. The researchers’ unavoidable—and unpalatable—conclusion is that old-fashioned【C18】______led the women to discriminate【C19】______pretty candidates.
So should attractive women simply attach photos that make them look dowdy? No. Better, says Mr. Hanks, to discourage the practice of including a photo altogether. Companies might even consider the【C20】______model used in the Belgian public sector, where CVs do not even include the candidate’s name.
【C17】
选项
A、staffed
B、occupied
C、populated
D、inhabited
答案
A
解析
根据上下文推测,空格处这句话的意思是说“人力资源部门大部分职员是女性”。四个选项中[A]staffed的原形一般作名词,表示“职员”,作动词时表示“配备员工”。例如,The school is staffed entirely by graduates.这个学校的教职员全是大学毕业生。这个例句和我们空格处这句话非常相似。因此[A]为正确答案。[B]occupied表示“占有,占领”,往往表示“某人占了某个地方或者某个职位”。例如,My sister occupies an important position in the Department of the Environment.我姐姐在环境部担任要职。这样的句式往往不会反过来用被动语态,因此[B]用在这里不恰当。[C]populated动词表示“构成人口”,常用被动语态。例如,The islands were gradually populated by settlers from Europe.岛上逐渐迁入很多欧洲移民。[C]用在这里也不恰当,因为这个词往往表示某个比较大的领域里面的人口构成,用来指一个办公室里面的人员构成,不恰当。[D]inhabited,动词,表示“居住于,(动物)栖居于”。例如,Only a few people inhabited the island.只有少数人在这个岛上居住。
