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, of attractiveness. 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.

Most of us must have experienced the following scene: A bunch of students are sitting in the cafeteria eating lunch. One of them has just taken a sip of milk when another one tells a hysterical joke. The milk drinker starts to laugh but ends up choking because he had just swallowed and the milk was still on the way to his stomach. Then a river of milk shoots out of his nose.
The episode raises an important question: How did the milk make that way out of the body? A side view of your head and neck shows the back of the nasal(鼻的)area, which is called the nasopharynx, joins the back of the mouth, which is called the oropharynx.
The body is designed so that air, liquids and solids all pass through the back of your mouth on their way inside. However, air and food end up in different places. Anything that is headed to the stomach goes down the esophagus. Anything that is headed to the lungs uses the trachea, or windpipe. The epiglottis lies at the top of the trachea. This piece of tissue is a sentry that keeps solids and liquids from getting into your lungs. If someone swallows and laughs at the same time, it often causes liquids to hit the epiglottis.
