       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 administrative circle, beauty can become a liability．

       Although attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the administration ladder, it is harmful to a woman．

Handsome male administrators were considered to be more honest than plainer men, though effort and ability were also thought to account for their success ．

Attractive female administrators were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones, and very often their success was believed to be connected not to ability but to factors such as luck．

Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine （女性的） and an attractive man more masculine （男性的） than the less attractive woman．Thus an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but in a traditionally masculine position an attractive woman 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．Then 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 been ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes．

When most people think of tropical islands, lined with white sandy beaches and bright blue seas, it is often the Caribbean or South Pacific that comes to mind. But for Chinese tourists who want a taste of paradise on Earth there is new place to consider. Mauritius, an island lying off the southeast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, has just been added to China’s list of tourist destinations. Rich in history, natural beauty and culture, the island has been a popular destination for the world’s tourists for many years.

On December 15 a total of eight African countries were added to the list. The others are Tunisia, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the Seychelles.

The island has passed through the controlling hands of a number of European powers, including Dutch, French and British. In 1968, Mauritius won its independence.

At present, over half the population of Mauritius is Hindu and another fifth is Muslim (穆斯林). Both groups are descendants (后裔) from workers brought to the island from India by the British. Some Chinese were also brought over to work. There are also descendants of African slaves and Franco Mauritians, the original settlers of the island. One of the best things about the island is the food. There is a mouth watering mix of European, Chinese and Indian flavours and seafood is very popular. A typical Mauritian dinner might have Indian chicken curry, Chinese pork, British roast beef and French style vegetables. Boiled rice is served with just about everything. All that is washed down with a plentiful supply of local beer and rum (浪姆酒).

The pleasant tropical climate and scenery provide the perfect setting to enjoy everything. The sea is full of colorful life that lives around the coral reef (珊瑚礁). This makes Mauritius a wonderful place for swimming and diving. The large number of interesting fish means it is also an exciting place for those who like to go fishing.

（   ）72. Which group of the following topics is NOT discussed in the text?
