Economists have long recognized what’s been named the "beauty premium" — the idea that pretty people,whatever their aspirations,tend to do better in most aspects of their lives. It is believed that handsome men earn 5 percent more than their least-attractive counterparts; that pretty people get more attention from teachers,bosses,and friends. A recent NEWSWEEK survey of corporate hiring managers confirmed how many of these assumptions carry over into the workplace—placing the importance of looks below experience but above education when it comes to landing a job.
But however hard men have it at work—and, from a financial perspective, their beauty premium is higher,say economists—women will always face a double bind;pressured to conform to the beauty standards of the day, yet simultaneously condemned for doing so. Recruiters may think women can get ahead by looking good,but nearly half also believe it’s possible for a woman to be penalized for being "too good-looking" . Attractive women tend to face heightened monitor from their female peers, who rate them less competent,less talented,less loyal,and,strangely,less motherly than women from homelier stock. In male-dominated fields in particular,pretty women can be seen as too feminine for leadership positions.
In what’s known as the " beauty is beastly" effect, one recent study even found that attractive women are likely discriminated against outright—at least when it comes to hiring. Published in the June issue of the Journal of Social Psychology, the study gave volunteers a list of jobs, along with photos of men and women suitable for those jobs, and then asked them to place the photos with the categories. For jobs with titles like director of security, hardware salesperson, prison guard, and tow-truck driver, attractive women were overlooked, sorted instead into positions like receptionist and secretary. The same was true among more professional categories, like manager of research, director of finance, or mechanical engineer.
This wasn’t the case with men. Is it any surprise that women face a double standard? Not to this writer. The reality is that though looks may be undeniably important,they aren’t everything,and even the most superficial statistics still leave room for talent. Beauty premium notwithstanding, there are still opportunities for people who aren’t runway models—and lots of them. [br] According to the study published in the Journal of Social Psychology, attractive women are classified into the positions like______.
选项
答案
receptionist and secretary
解析
定位句指出,像安保总监、硬件营销人员、狱警与拖拉机司机等这类职业并不青睐美女,而像接待员和秘书这类职业无比欢迎美女。题干中的classified into与原文中的sorted into属于同义转述,故本题答案为receptionist and secretary。
