Scientists conducted experiments that showed that men behave very differently towards high-heeled women. The results may please the purveyors of popular brand shoes, yet frustrate those who think stilettos encourage sexism.
The study found if a woman drops a glove on the street while wearing heels, she&`&s almost 50 percent more likely to have a man fetch it for her than if she&`&s wearing flat shoes.
Another finding: A woman wearing heels is twice as likely to persuade men to stop and answer survey questions in the street. And a woman wearing high-heels in a bar waits half the time to get picked up by a man, compared to when her heel is nearer to the ground.
conduct experiments 做实验,“做实验”的“做”一般都用conduct(do也可以,make则不用)。
