A.C.The process of the experiment.D. The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs might be limited to high173。 The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative and the more desirable jobs included things like a manager, project director, IT elite(精英). In all experiments where they were asked, participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job and more likely to hire the attractive candidate for the more desirable job. This stands in contrast to a large body of research that attractiveness, in general, helps candidates in the selection process. For the most part good looks is a blessing. We treat pretty people more favorably in general, often vote for them more in elections, and pay them more in their professions. The research suggests that attractive people may be discriminated against in selection for relatively less desirable jobs. （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“The chances are that as you did it, you reflected on how inventive this traditional art is.
