Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and have more respectable jobs. But in the executive(主管的) circle,   31   can become a disadvantage.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is   32 
(harm) to a woman. Handsome male executives are considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability usually lead  33  their success. Attractive female executives are considered to have less honesty than unattractive  34  ；people do not connect their success with ability   35  with factors such as luck.

And 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  38  them.
