Studies show that assertive women are often less likely to get ahead than those who exhibit more feminine (女性的) traits. If however, they try to conform, promotion comes their way. (32)The findings suggest that the best way for a woman to succeed in a man’s world is to act like a lady. Some scientists also say that women who want to succeed at work should resist the temptation to act like men. These findings may dismay feminists who always advocate that it is necessary for a woman to work like a man. (33) Past research has shown that women full of self-confidence, assertiveness and other characteristics linked with successful management can be sidelined (受到排挤) at work. Instead of being seen as strong bosses, women who act like men are perceived as being less likeable. In one US study into the so-called "backlash effect," volunteers were given a selection of CVs from university students applying for summer job at a bank. (34)A woman applicant who attempted to negotiate extras such as help towards their transport or living costs was three and a half times less likely to get a job offer than a similarly aggressive male. In fact, the aggressive women were the least likely of the lot to get taken on. But we should know nothing is absolute. Not every woman who is not feminine enough has no chance to get ahead in the workplace. (35)The bossy women who made a conscious effort to not appear too threatening by "self-monitoring" their behavior had done better than those who had carried on regardless.

答案B

解析 细节推断题。短文最后提到有的女人虽然专横,却能有意识地控制自己的行为,使自己看起来不带威胁。这些女人要比那些不顾外界看法的“男人婆”更成功。
