题文

Women who want to succeed at work should resist the temptation to act like men, scientists have said. Studies show that ambitious women are often less likely to get ahead than tho who show more female characteristics. However, if they try to adapt, promotion comes their way. The findings, which will let asrtive (过分自信的) women down, suggest that the best way for a woman to succeed in a man’s world is to act like a lady. Past rearch has shown that women with lf-confidence and other characteristics linked with successful management can be put aside at work in favor of gentle types. It is thought that while such characteristics are highly praid in men, ambitious women are penalized for not being feminine enough. Instead of being en as strong managers, ambitious women are in an unfavorable situation. In one US study, rearchers explored personal details from university students applying for a summer job at a bank. A women applicant who attempted to apply for special wages to pay her transport or living costs was three and a half times less likely to get a job offer than a similar male. In fact, this kind of woman was the least likely to get taken on. The latest study t out to explore what women who are naturally asrtive could do to get ahead in the workplace. Eighty young men and women completed surveys about their personality while studying in college. Around eight years later, the rearchers got back in touch with them to find out how their careers were going. Some had been promoted five times, others just once or twice. The results showed that ambitious women who stick to their decisions had been promoted less than more feminine groups. But the ambitious women who made a conscious effort to not appear to be threatening by “lf-controlling” their behavior had done better than tho who had carried on ignoring others’ views. 小题1: What does the underlined word “penalized” mean in the cond paragraph?A．Treated badlyB．Asked to leaveC．Looked down uponD．Made sb. have a disadvantage小题2:According to the passage, if an ambitious woman and a similar man both ask the company for an extra payment, ______.
