18．A handsome man can earn a fifth more than an average-looking colleague but a beautiful woman is not paid a penny more than her average-looking colleague，new research has shown．
The study by senior economists（經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家）found that being good-looking meant male workers could earn 22percent more than average-looking colleagues．Researchers said good looks did not give women a similar advantage．
Andrew Leigh，a former economics professor at the Australian National University who co-authored the report，said："Beauty can be a double-edged sword for women．"
"Some people still believe good looks and intelligence are incompatible（矛盾的）in women，so a good-looking women can't be that productive，but it doesn't affect-men's pay．"
He said that although he believed good-looking women may also earn more，the research did not support his theory．
The research found that handsome men in all jobs，from manual labour（手工勞動(dòng)）to highly-paid professional careers，can earn 22percent more than their colleagues doing the same work．
Men with below-average looks face a battle in the office，with ugliness reducing a man's earnings by 26percent compared to an average-looking worker．
Former male model，lan Mitchell，28，who has a first class degree in history from Edinburgh University and now works for a cosmetics company，told the Sunday Times：'It gives you confidence，and I suspect people tend to warm to you more quickly．"
The study，named Unpacking the Beauty Premium，was the largest exercise of its kind and repeated a survey from 1984to see if the beauty premium（美貌價(jià)）had changed．
Leigh said the research showed people in the workplace were"lookist（以貌取人的）"and he hoped the findings would encourage employers to remove their prejudice．
32．What has the research found？B
A．Male workers pay more attention to their appearance
B．Handsome men have an advantage in their jobs
C．Appearance plays an important role at work．
D．The more beautiful a female is，the lower their intelligence is
33．What is Andrew Leigh's opinion？B
A．Beauty is a double-edged sword for workers
B．Gook-looking females are likely to earn more
C．Employers have prejudice in employing workers
D．More attention is paid to appearance now than before
34．We can learn from the text that men who are below average in appearanceD
A．earn26%less than handsome men
B．earn 22%less than average-looking men
C．earn as much as average-looking men
D．earn 26%less than average-looking men
35．What is the main idea of the text？C
A．Employees should pay more attention to their appearance
B．Males and females should be treated equally in interviews
C．Good-looking men tend to earn more
D．Beautiful female interviewees aren't popular in interviews．
