At work, as in life, attractive women get a lot of the breaks. Studies have shown that they are more likely to be promoted than their plain-Jane colleagues. Because people tend to【C1】______positive traits onto them, such as sensitivity and poise(镇静), they may also be at an advantage in job interviews. The only downside to hotness is having to fend off【C2】______male colleagues; or so many people think. But research by two Israelis suggests otherwise.
Bradley Ruffle at Ben-Gurion University and Ze’ev Shtudiner at Ariel University Centre looked at what happens when job hunters include photos with their curriculavitae, as is the norm in much of Europe and Asia. The pair sent fictional applications to over 2,500 real-life【C3】______For each job, they sent two very similar resumes, one with a photo, one without. Subjects had【C4】______been graded for their attractiveness.
For men, the results were as 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【C5】______Attractive females were less likely to be offered an interview if they included a photo. When applying directly to a company(rather than through an agency)an attractive woman would need to send out 11 CVs on average before getting an interview; an equally【C6】______plain one just seven.
At first, Mr. Ruffle considered what he calls the "dumb-blonde hypothesis"— that people assume beautiful women to be stupid. However, the photos had also been rated on how intelligent people thought each subject looked; there was no【C7】______between perceived intellect and pulchritude(美丽).
So the cause of the discrimination(歧视)must lie elsewhere. Human resources departments tend to be staffed 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 unpleasant—conclusion is that old-fashioned jealousy led the women to【C8】______against pretty candidates.
So should attractive women simply attach photos that make them look plain? No. Better, says Mr. Ruffle, to【C9】______the practice of including a photo altogether. Companies might even consider the【C10】______model used in the Belgian public sector, where CVs do not even include the candidate’s name.
A)irrelevant I)ornamentally
B)reversed J)discriminate
C)personnel K)ghastly
D)discourage L)propagate
E)vacancies M)previously
F)disperse N)anonymous
G)project O)correlation
H)qualified
【C2】
选项
答案
K

该句句意为:美貌带来的唯一缺点是她们不得不避开男同事,K)ghastly“令人厌恶的”符合句意,故为答案。
