A few common misconceptions Beauty is only skin-deep. One's physical assets and liabilities don't count all that much in a managerial career. A woman should always try to look her best.

Over the last 30 years, social scientists have conducted more than 1,000 studies of how we react to beautiful and not-so-beautiful people. The virtually unanimous conclusion: Looks do matter, mom than most of us realize. The data suggest, for example, that physically attractive individuals are more likely to be treated well by their parents, sought out as friends, and pursued romantically. With the possible exception of women seeking managerial jobs, they are also more likely to be hired, paid well, and promoted.

Un-American, you say, unfair and extremely unbelievable? Once again, the scientists have caught us mouthing pieces while acting just the contrary. Their typical experiment works something like this. They give each member of a group-college students, perhaps, or teachers or corporate personnel managers a piece of paper relating an individual's accomplishments. Attached to the paper is a photograph. While the papers all say exactly the same thing the pictures are different. Some show a strikingly attractive person, some an average looking character, and some an unusually unattractive human being. Group members are asked to rate the individual on certain attributes, anything from personal warmth to the likelihood that he or she will he promoted.

Almost invariably, the better looking the person in the picture, the higher the person is rated. In the phrase, borrowed from Sappo, that the social scientists use to sum up the common perception, what is beautiful is good.

In business, however, good looks cut both ways for women, and deeper than for men. A Utah State University professor, who is an authority on the subject, explains: in terms of their careers, the impact of physical attractiveness on males is only modest. But its potential impact on females can be tremendous, making it easier, for example, for the more attractive to get jobs where they are in the public eye. On another note, though, there is enough literature now for us to conclude that attractive women who aspire to managerial positions do not get on as well as women' who may be less attractive.

A．a person's property or debts do not matter much

B．a person's outward appearance is not a critical qualification

C．women should always dress fashionably

D．women should not only he attractive but also high-minded

Commuting to work in Chicago is no【C1】______, for the roads there are even more crowded than in San Francisco. But here is how the city of Chicago is handling the problem. "We dont have rash hours any more," said Charles M. Mclean, who runs the nations busiest road. "We have rash periods, and they keep【C2】______longer and longer.

The system uses electronic sensors that are built into each expressway, half a mile【C7】______.

"See that red light near Austin Avenue?" the controller asked a visitor, "Thats a repair truck【C9】______the road, and the traffic has to go【C10】______it. " At the Roosevelt Road entrance【C11】______the expressway, the light kept【C12】______from green to red and back to green again. "A lot of trucks get on the expressway there. " the controller explained. "They cant speed up as【C13】______as cars. " The sensors show【C14】______where an accident or a stopped car is blocking traffic,【C15】______a truck is sent by radio to clear the road. The system has lowered the【C16】______of accidents by 18 percent. There are now 1. 4 deaths on Chicagos expressways for each one hundred million miles traveled,【C17】______in other parts of the country there are 2. 6. Traffic experts say that the Chicago system is the "coming thing". Systems like Chicagos are already in use on some expressways in Los Angeles and Houston.
