It has been argued that women's maternal instinct (母性的本能) makes it harder for
them to find a balance between their home and work lives. Other commentators (评论者)
say cultural and institutional barriers prevent female's success. But according to a Iateist
best-seller， all these arguments miss something more basic: women's lack of confidence.
The book, titled The Confidence Code : The Science and Art of Self-Assurance, is
co-authored by distinguished women journalists Katty Kay and Claire Shipman. Success
depends as much on confidence as competence, according to Kay and Shipman, and there is
"a vast confidence gap that separates the sexes".
In two decades of covering American politics as journalists, Kay and Shipman have
interviewed some of the most influential women in the country. In their jobs and lives,
they walk among women anyone would assume to be filled with confidence. And yet their
experience suggests many of these women are full of self-doubt.
Even Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg told the writers: "There are still days I wake up
feeling like acheat, not sure I should be where I am. "
In a feature story in The Atlantic, Kay and Shipman say that conversations like this
inspired them to write the book. After considerable research. they found that, 'compared
with men, women don't consider themselves as ready for a promotion until they meet 100
percent of the requirements; and they generally underestimate not only their abilities but
also their performance.
The writers point out that a lack of confidence is behind a number of familiar female
habits. For example, many women have the tendency to take the blame when things go
wrong, while crediting other people for their successes.
In short, because women think they're less competent than they really are, they're
also less self-confident than they should be. It's a vicious（恶性的) circle.
32. What encouraged Kay and Shipman to write their book？
A. The conversations with many influential women.
B. A large number of familiar male habits.
C. The vast confidence gap between sexes.
D. Women's absence from the top positions.
33. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "competent"?
A. confidence. B. capable. C.important. D. successful.
34. When do women consider themselves ready for a promotion, according to Kay and Shipman?
A. When they satisfy 100 percent of the requirements.
B. After they take the blame for their wrong deeds.
C. When they have done something successfully.
D. When they have as much confidence as men.
35. Which is the best title of the passage?
A, Self-confidence Prevents Woman's Success
B. Women Aren't Ready for a Promotion
C. Self-doubt Harms Women
D．The Art of Success
