    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 (被告). But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability(不利因素).
    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 to factors such as luck.
    All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable titan 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 been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.
It can be inferred from the passage that people’s views on beauty are often ______.
选项 A、concerned with action
B、unfair and often unfavorable feeling or opinion formed without thinking deeply
C、old-fashioned
D、having wide and important effects
答案B
解析 该题是细节分析题。作者在讲述人们对美貌的评价。这些评价没有理论依据，致使人们的主观看法常常是不公平的、不理想，所以答案选B。
