“爱花的人，心灵也是方香的。”这句西方谚语告诉我们（     ）

                                                                                              神奇的人体“天网”
        ①前不久，德国科学家在观察人体免疫系统对付细菌的过程中意外发现，在那些被人体灭菌勇士白血球杀死的细菌周围，经常会看到一些丝体物质。起初，他们以为这是显微镜的镜片不干净导致的观察错觉。但后来他们发现，这些丝状体物总是在细菌进入人体后，很快就出现在细菌周围。它们相互缠绕，构成了网。这些网就像蜘蛛网那样，能够迅速把细菌横七竖八地粘在上面，从而将细菌擒拿。随后，这些网就密切配合人体白细胞里的其他物质，把被擒拿的细菌毒杀或者吞吃掉。
        ②更为奇特的是，这种由丝状体物质构成的网还能对人体内健康的细胞起到保护作用。实验发现，在对付病毒的战斗中，有一种细胞分泌出来的蛋白酶在同细菌作战的时候，有时候会伤及无辜，给人体健康细胞造成伤害。为了避免或减少这种伤害事件的发生，这个网凭借自身的粘性，主动把这些蛋白酶集中到病菌密集的局部地方，帮助它们认准来犯之敌，同时避免误伤健康细胞。
       ③最让人感动的是，这些由丝状体物质编成的网，在发挥完杀敌和护体作用后；就自行化解，神秘地消失了。
      ④那么，人体内的“天网”是谁抛出的？它是由什么物质编织的？
      ⑤科学家对中性粒细胞已经了解得比较透彻了，知道它们是人体白血球中的主力成员：正常人每立方毫米的血液大约有白血球5000—10000个，这其中，中性粒细胞就占了５５％－７０％。他们也知道，中性粒细胞具有追踪病菌和吞噬，毒杀细菌的能力，是人体内抵御病毒最出色的勇士。但中性粒细胞究竟与“天网”有没有关系，还是个未知数。
       ⑥在电子显微镜下，德国科学家对一群中性粒细胞进行了追踪观察，结果发现，中性粒细胞在有细菌的环境里，会马上被唤醒并向细菌围拢。当它们靠近细菌后，先前没有出现的“天网”不久便悄然出现了，但在没有细菌出现的环境里，则只有中性粒细胞在自由活动，唯独不见“天网”的踪影。那么，“天网”究竟是中性粒细胞抛出的呢，还是细菌抛出的呢？“天网”到底是由什么物质编织的呢？
      ⑦德国科学家通过细致观察和辨认，最后揭开了谜底。原来，白血球里的中性粒细胞在发现细菌入侵的敌情后，会马上奔赴疆场，与细菌拼杀。这些投入到疆场的中性粒细胞注定要成为烈士，因为它们就像是过河的小卒，从不知道退路在哪里，而且它们的寿命只有几个小时。这些投入疆场的勇士，在与细菌拼杀到筋疲力尽的时候，便自行“剖腹”解体，从体内抛出丝状体物质。众多勇士的丝状体物质缠绕在一起，就构成了细菌难逃的“天网”。让人惊讶的是，构成“天网”的丝状体物质，恰恰就是隐藏在中性粒细胞内部的ＤＮＡ！
      ⑧ＤＮＡ竟然会在危机时刻挺身而出，织“网”杀敌－这可是长久以来有关ＤＮＡ的从未有过的重大发现！
      ⑨人体内由ＤＮＡ编织的“天网”被发现后，这种奇特现象立即触发了许多医学家的联想和灵感。他们发现，过去许多非常难解的医学迷案，现在看来可能与人体“天网”有关。

    Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive(主管) circle, beauty can become a liability.

    While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.

    Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.

    Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.

    All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight success was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight success.

    Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly" qualities required.

    This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. 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 for them.

    The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.
