Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier,have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants(被告).But in the executive 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 thought as having more integrity than plainer men;effort and ability were thought to account for their success.

Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones;their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.

All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.

Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine(有男子气;)既的)than the less attractive ones. Thus,an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs,but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" 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. 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 utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.

When I was in junior high,the eighth-grade bully(恶徒)hit me in the stomach. Not only did it hurt and make me angry,but the 1    and shame were almost unbearable. I wanted 2    to even the score!I planned to meet him on the playground the next day and let him 3    it.

For some reason, I told my plan to Nana,my 4    . Surprisingly,she gave me one of her hour-long lectures. Among the many things she told,I unclearly remembered her telling me that I didn't need to 5   about him. She said, "Good deeds 6   good results, and evil deeds lead to bad results." I told her,in a nice way,of course, that I thought she was flill of it. I told her that I did good things all the time,but all I got 7   was "rubbish"!

It took me 30 years to understand the 8   of her words. Nana was living in a board-and-care home in Laguna Hills, California. Each Tuesday,I 9   and took her out to dinner by car. I would always find her neatly 10    sitting in a wheel-chair right by the front door. I clearly remember our very last dinner together before she left there. We 11    to a nearby simple little family-owned res?taurant. I 12    pot roast for Nana and a hamburger for myself. The food 13    and as I dug in,I noticed that Nana wasn,t eating,but staring at the food on her plate. 14    my plate aside,I took Nana's plate to my side and cut her meat into small pieces. I then 15    the plate back in front of her. As she 16    the meat into her mouth very weakly,and with great difficulty,I was struck with a memory that brought 17    tears to my eyes. Forty years 18    ,when I was a little boy,Nana had always cut the meat into small pieces so I could eat it.

It had taken 40 years,but the good deed had been 19   . Nana was right. "Every good deed

Is early childhood education really necessary? Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to develop the child's physical, sensory, communicational and social development. Early childhood education has become a concern of the government,who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten.

There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education. Studies have shown that orphaned children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed

causing failure in school, and even in life. Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school,less likely to end up in Special Education classes, and are less likely to receive public help or go to jail.

There are also negative parts to putting a child in formal education programs too early. Time Magazine online explains that "the younger the child,the Jess his chances of catching up with first-grade work". I have personally witnessed many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school. Yet parents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school,the better off he or she is,so they push to start children earlier.

Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early ele?mentary years, studies also show that this head start is really a "false start",as the gains are lost in middle and high school years. It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life, s success than early education. Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap in poor and middle school children. Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap.

(   ) 8. The purpose of the government valuing the early childhood education is     .

     A.  to develop the children' s communication skills

    D.   Head Start programs are helpful to the poor children.

(   ) 10. 'The younger the child, the less his chances of catching up with first-grade work." suggests that .

     A.  the early childhood education is helpless to the child' s grade

    B.  it is good for the young children to receive early education

    C.  the early education can help the children improve the grade

    D.  the younger the children are,the more clever they will be
