B1 – Intermediate<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have all heard of the expression “walk tall” to signify confidence and pride. Or how you can “feel ten feet tall”  when you feel extremely good, like right after getting a promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This light-hearted article shows a very interesting study of how our actual height can play a role in our success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read the article below and be ready to answer the questions that follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent study discovered that short people are more likely to feel jealous. The research questioned more than 500 men and women from Denmark to Spain. They then used the data to discover which characteristics made people feel uncomfortable. Men and women were\u00a0intimidated\u00a0by money, strength, looks, and\u00a0charm. However, shorter people felt more nervous than taller people.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In regards to evolution, this conclusion makes sense. Women who are average height or taller have the best health, popularity, and fertility with men. In addition, the study said taller men often have more success with women.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other\u00a0similar\u00a0studies about height and modern culture agree. For example, tall men are more successful in business. In another study, a look at Fortune 500 companies showed that 58% of the CEOs were taller than six feet (169 centimeters), but only 14.5% of the US population was six feet.\u00a0Moreover, taller people received better salaries than shorter people. One inch adds more than $750 to a person’s salary each year.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study finished by stating that\u00a0prejudice\u00a0towards shorter people isn’t\u00a0conscious.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
