something praiseworthy. almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. even judges are softer on attractive defendants. but in the executive（主管的） circle, beauty can become a liability.while attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.all unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.why are attractive women not thought to be able? an attractive woman is considered to be more feminine has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the manlyqualifies required.this is true even in politics, when the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, says anne bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates（候选人）. she asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. the students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. they were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.the results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.60the word liability most probably means _.a. disadvantageb. advantagec. misfortune d. trouble61bowmans experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness_a. turns out tobe a disadvantage to menb. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to womenc. has as little effect on men as on womend. affects men and women alike62it can be inferred from the passage that peoples views on beauty are often_.a. practicalb. supportive c. old - fashionedd. one - sided63the author writes this passage to _.a. give advice to job - seekers who are attractiveb. discuss the disadvantages of being attractivec. demand equal rights for womend. state the importance of appearancecsome people believe that international sport brings about good will between the nations and that ff countries play games together they will learn to live together. others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. there is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the olympic games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. not only was there the terrible incident with the murder of athlets, but the games were also ruined by those incidents caused mainly by minor national contests.one country received its second - place medal with great anger after the hockey final. there had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. they were certain that one of their goals should not have been dismissed and that the opposite sides victory was unfair. their manager was angry when he said: this wasnt hockey. hockey and the international hockey society are finished. the president of the society said later that such words could result in the pause of the team for at least three years.the american basketball team announced that they would not give away first place to russia, after a fighting end to their contest. the game had ended in quarrel. it was thought at first that the united states had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play, a russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player beat it into the basket. it was the first time the usa had ever lost an olympic basketball match. the judges discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. the american players then decided not to receive the silver medals.incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played for honors or money rather than for the love of the game. the suggestion that sportsmen should compete as individuals , or in non national teams, might be too much to hope for. but in the present organization of the olympics there is far too much that encourages dangerous nationalism.64according to the author, recent olympic games have _.a. brought about goodwill between the nationsb. made only false national pridec. hardly showed any international friendshipd. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred65what did the manager mean by saying, . hockey and the international hockey society are finished? _.a. his team would no longer take part in international gamesb. hockey and the society are both ruined by the unfair decisionsc. there should be no more hockey matches organized by the societyd. the society should be dismissed66the author gives the two examples in paragraphs 2 and 3 to show_.a. how false national pride leads to undesirable incidents in international gamesb. that sport men have been more troublesome than they used to bec. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendshipd. that unfair decisions are common in olympic games.67what conclusion can be drawn from the passage? _.a. the organization of the olympic games must be improvedb. athletes should compete as individuals in the olympic gamesc. sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the gamed. international contests lead to misunderstanding between nations.dariel, west bank: a suicide bomber blew up near israeli soldiers outside a jewish
