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 those who show more female characteristics. However, if they try to adapt, promotion comes their way. The findings, which will let assertive (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 research has shown that women with self-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 praised in men, ambitious women are penalized for not being feminine enough. Instead of being seen as strong managers, ambitious women are in an unfavorable situation.
In one US study, researchers 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 set out to explore what women who are naturally assertive 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 researchers 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 “self-controlling” their behavior had done better than those who had carried on ignoring others’ views.
小题1: What does the underlined word “penalized” mean in the second paragraph?| A．Treated badly | B．Asked to leave | | C．Looked down upon | D．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, ______. | A．the woman is less likely to be accepted | | B．the woman will work harder if she gets the payment | | C．the man can make a good impression on the boss | | D．they can be both accepted if they use proper words |
小题3:The ambitious women in the latest study ______.| A．had been promoted only once or twice | | B．tried hard to be as successful as gentle types | | C．were more accepted at work after they controlled their behavior | | D．filled in the surveys after they graduated from college |
小题4:What can we learn from the passage?| A．Successful management is highly praised in women. | | B．Some women will be disappointed by the massage. | | C．Men acting like a lady are likely to be promoted at work. | | D．The latest study was aimed at how to become a successful boss. |
小题5:What’s the main idea of the passage?| A．How assertive women can control their behavior. | | B．Feminists can do better by controlling their behavior. | | C．Acting like a man won’t get women promoted at work. | | D．How the ambitious women can avoid acting like men. |

Around 5:30 p.m., I was on the bus one day and everybody on the bus was quiet. People had just 36 from work, students had just finished their 37 class and everybody was a little 38 from a long day. It wasn"t  a particularly good day for me as I was feeling quite tired too. I was just looking outside of the 39 without any specific thought in my mind. It was the same 40 I had seen many times before, people hurrying home.
In front of me, there was a guy sitting in the seat who didn"t look too clean. 41 he was looking out of the window, the guy suddenly 42 to me and pointed at something outside. "Hey, look." He had a big smile on his face. I turned to the 43 he was pointing to and there it was ---- the beautiful Catalina mountains burning with a beautiful 44 . The mountains were coated with bright pink light and shadows. He turned to other people on the bus and told them to look at the mountains. He 45
" Wow" and " It"s so beautiful" again and again. Everybody on the bus 46 the views indeed.
The 47 view also helped me to 48 my long tiring day with a good feeling in my heart. But, more 49 , I was so inspired to see that this man wanted to 50 the beautiful view with everybody on the bus, total strangers. His 51 act made me accidentally find something that I had lost which I didn"t even know I had lost. He made me 52 that I had lost the feelings and the excitement I 53 have every day. In my daily life, many things had 54 their color and movement. But he 55 me that things are still there ---- they never get lost.
