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（经济学家）found that being good-looking meant male workers could earn 22 percent 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（手工劳动）to highly-paid professional careers, can earn 22 percent 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 26 percent compared to an average-looking worker.

Former male model, Caitlan 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 1984 to see if the beauty premium（美貌溢价) 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.

1.What has the research found?

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.

2.What is Andrew Leigh’s opinion?

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.

3.We can learn from the text that men who are below average in appearance ________.

A. earn 26%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

4.What is the main idea of the text?

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.

More than a decade after they first met on Mount Bamian in western Hunan province, a photographer from Shenzhen, has kept his promise of finding funding for a young woman whose arms were amputated(截肢) as a child.

Chen Yongheng has taken about 5,000 photos of Xiang Liping, who he first met when she was 13 in December 2002. She appeared on a hillside as he was coming down the mountain, followed by two other children, carrying large bundles(捆) of straw on their backs. Intrigued by the sight, Chen raised his camera to take a picture of the three — but it was then that he noticed the sleeves of the girl in red blowing in the wind. He approached and touched the girl's sleeves, only to discover there were no arms inside.

After returning home and reviewing his photographs, Chen decided he had to find the girl again. Chen finally found the girl one year later. He learned that she touched an exposed electrical wire when she was only 4 and had to have both her arms amputated. It was then that an idea occurred to him — hand in his pictures of Xiang to the World Press Photo Contest, which offers a 10,000 euro ($11,080) top prize. From 2003 to 2013, Chen visited the family and took photos of Xiang every year. He entered the contest every year, but every time he failed to win the top prize. That was until December last year, when his pictures caught the attention of journalists at a photo exhibition. After the photos were published online in June, 2016, they were viewed more than 100 million times and attracted more than 80,000 comments. With the support of the China Social Assistance Foundation, more than 300,000 yuan was donated to Xiang. "She now has more confidence and told me over phone that she wants to open an online store," Chen said.
