an attractive woman 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 manly qualities 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.5. the underlined word liability most probably means _.a. disadvantage b. advantage c. misfortune d. trouble6. bowmans experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _.a. turns out to be 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 alike7. it can be inferred from the passage that peoples views on beauty are often _.a. practical b. supportive c. old-fashioned d. one-sided8. the author writes this passage to_.a. give advice to job-seekers who are attractiveb
