It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.Yet the blessings and curses

21、 of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?Combing through decades of findings, social psychologists Lisa Slattery Walker and Tonya Frevert at the Univer

22、sity of North Carolina at Charlotte havereviewed all the evidence to dateand their conclusions are not what you might expect.At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo(光环) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume

23、that they have other good ones too. Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs(原告), meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlemen

24、ts. “Its an effect seen everywhere,” says Walker.But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices can work against attractive women, making them less

25、likely to be hired for high-level jobsthat require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely toemploy youif they judge that you are more attractive than they are.More

26、 worryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive p

27、eople.And the bubble of beauty can be a somewhat lonely place. One study in 1975, for instance, found that people tend to move further away from a beautiful woman on the pathway perhaps as a mark of respect, but still making interaction more distant. “Attractiveness can convey more power over visibl

28、e space but that in turn can make others feel they cant approach that person,” says Frevert. Interestingly, the online dating website OKCupid recently reported that people with the most beautiful pictures are less likely to find dates than those with less perfect pictures.Ultimately, Frevert points

29、out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says. Its an outdated saying, but no amount of beauty can

30、make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly: “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”25. From paragraph one, we can learn that _.A. we might always dream about being bothered by othersB. most people are not afraid of being too beautiful C. some

31、 may be bothered by their unattractive appearance D. being too beautiful can be a problem bothering everyone26. Which is the benefit for beautiful people? A. An attractive plaintiff has more chances to get away with punishment. B. Beautiful criminals are more likely to persuade the judge and win the

32、 case. C. Good-looking people are often regarded as having many good qualities. D. Women with pleasing appearance will always be considered as better leaders.27.What can be inferred from OKCupids finding? A. Dont use perfect pictures when trying to find dates online. B. Less attractive women are lon

33、ely because of their appearances. C. We may feel more excited to approach those with attractive appearances. D. People with perfect pictures will find dates sooner or later.28.What might be the best title for the passage? A. Sexist Prejudice B. Negative Sides of Beauty C. Blessed with Beauty D. Beau

34、ty vs UglinessC You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. H

35、e is known as the “Elevator Guy”.“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC. “They (elevators) are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in

36、, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want its your own little box. If there are two of you, you go int

37、o different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance. When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the

38、 middle.New entrants to the lift will need tosize upthe situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple look down, or look at your phone.Why are we so awkward in lifts?“You dont have enough space,”Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psycho

39、logist at theFree University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arms length of distance between us. And thats not possible in most elevators.”In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threateni
