It is a blow for the Ugly Bettys and Plain Janes—research shows that good looks lead to better pay. A study of 4,000 young men and women found that beauty boosted pay cheeks more than intelligence. Those judged to be the more attractive earned up to 10 percent more than their less attractive friends and colleagues. Applied to the average salary of £25,______,000 a year, the"plainness penalty(处罚)"would make a difference of £ 2,500 a year—or around £ 50 a week.
It is unclear what is behind the phenomenon but it may be that beauty creates confidence. The self-confident may appear to be doing better than they are and will not hesitate about asking for a pay rise.
Researcher Jason Fletcher, of Yale University in the U. S. , rated the attractiveness of the 4,000 men and women. Just over half were judged average, while 7 percent were felt to be very attractive and 8 percent were judged unattractive or very unattractive. The volunteers also sat an IQ test and reported their salary. It became clear that pay scales were far from fair. For instance, a 14-point increase on the IQ score was associated with a 3 to 6 percent increase in wage. But being of above-average looks increased pay by 5 to 10 percent .
For a plain person to be paid the same as a very attractive one , they would have to be 40 percent brighter, the journal Economics Letters reports.
Dr Fletcher said:"The results do show that people’s looks have an impact on their wages and it can be very important. "
What’s the average annual salary of a good-looking person?
选项
A、£ 2,500
B、£ 25,000
C、£ 22,500
D、£ 27,500
答案
D
解析
细节题中的数字题。首先要提醒各位考生,凡是数字题正确答案一般都要经过简单的计算,涉及原文数字的选项则多为陷阱。根据第一段第三、四句可知,“Those judged to bethe more attractive earned up to 10 percent more than their less attractive friends and colleagues.(公认长得非常养眼的那些人的收入比长相一般的人多得lO%),而“平均工资是£25,000”,因此不难计算长相好看的人的年收人为£25,000+£25,000*10%,不难计算出结果是£27,500,因此D为正确选项。
