Italians are considered the most handsome men in the world while men who are balding（变秃的） and aging do not necessarily lose their looks, according to an international survey．
A “Male Beauty” survey of nearly 10,000 men and women in 12 countries conducted by market research firm Synovate found that good hygiene （卫生） was actually the top requirement for men to being considered handsome．
The second main requirement to be considered good-looking was confidence, with nearly one fifth of all respondents saying a man must carry himself well, followed by having a “great smile”．
Hair, or a lack of, seemed to have little impact with only one percent of respondents saying that a full head of hair was needed to be handsome．
Older men can also take heart as 60 percent of respondents said a man’s appearance gets better with age, with Americans, Chinese, Greeks and Malaysians agreeing with that the most．“Men are seen like a fine wine – they only get better, which is good news for some of us, ” Bob Michaels, Synovate spokesman, said in a statement．
But looks did also come down to geography．The survey, conducted in October in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Greece, Malaysia, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Britain and the United States, found Italian men were considered to be the most handsome – even though Italy was not in those countries surveyed．They were followed by men from the United States, Russia and Brazil．
In Spain, more men than women consider having muscles and dressing well to be necessarily requirements, while the opposite was true for Greek women, who were more likely to think a macho （男子气概的） look was appealing．Far more British, French and Australian women also seemed to value “a great smile” than men do．

D．There are 12 countries surveyed, including Italy and Canada．
Astronomers （天文学家） say they are on the point of finding planets like Earth orbiting other stars, which is a key step in determining if we are alone in the universe．
A top NASA official and other leading scientists say that within four or five years they should discover the first Earth-like planet where life could develop, or may have already．A planet close to the size of Earth could even be found sometime this year．
At the annual American Astronomical Society conference this week, each discovery involving so-called “exoplanets” —those outside our solar system — pointed to the same conclusion：Quiet planets like Earth where life could develop probably are plentiful．
NASA’s Dew Kepler telescope and a lot of new research from the suddenly hot and competitive exoplanet field caused noticeable buzz at the meeting．Scientists are talking about being at “an incredible special place in history” and closer to answering the question．“Are we alone? For the first time, there’s an optimism that sometime in our lifetimes we’re going to get to the bottom of that,” said Simon Worden，an astronomer who heads NASA’s Ames Research Center．“If I were a betting man, which I am, I would bet we’re not alone．”
“These are big questions that reflect upon the meaning of the human race in the universe,” the director of the Vatican Observatory, the Rev．Jose Funes, said Wednesday in an interview at this week’s conference．
Worden told The Associated Press: “I would certainly expect in the next four or five years we’d have an Earth-sized planet in the habitable （可居住的） zone．”
