二、阅读理解
Finding the Real You
Psychometric testing - personality te sting — has been very popular nowadays as studies show their results to be three times more accurate in predicting your job performance. These tests are now included in almost all graduate recruitment (招聘) and are widely used in the selection of managers。

The most popular of these personality tests is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI）。

It is based on the theory that we are born with a tendency to one personality type which stays more or less fixed throughout life。

You answer 88 questions and are then given your “type”, such as Outgoing or Quiet, Feeling or Thinking。

Critics of personality testing raise doubts about “social engineering”。

Psychologist Dr. Colin Gill warns that the “popular” personality traits (特性）have their disadvantages. “People who are extremely open to new experiences can be butterflies，going from one idea to the next without mastering any of them。

” However，the psychometric test is here to stay, which may be why a whole sub-industry on cheating personality tests has sprung up. “It’s possible to cheat，" admits Gill, “but having to pretend to be the person you are at work will be tiring and unhappy and probably short-lived。

"
So can we change our personality？“Your basic personality is fixed by the time you’re 21，” says Gill，“but it can be affected by motivation and intelligence. If you didn’t have the personality type to be a doctor but
desperately wanted to be one and were intelligent enough to master the skills, you could still go ahead。

But trying to go too much against type for too long requires much energy and is actually to be suffered for long. I think it's why we’re seeing this trend for downshifting — too many people trying to fit in to a type that they aren't really suited for.”
Our interest in personality now exists in every part of our lives. If you ask an expert for advice on anything，you’ll probably be quizzed about your personality。

But if personality tests have any value to us， perhaps it is to free us from the idea that all of us are full of potential，and remind us of what we are. As they say in one test when they ask for your age: pick the one you are, not the one you wish you were.
21．The Myers—Briggs Type Indicator is based on the belief that __________。

A. personality is largely decided from birth
B. certain personality traits are common
C。

some personality types are better than others
D。

personality traits are various from time to time
22．According to Dr。

Gill, what is the problem with personality tests？
A。

The results could be opposite to what employers want。

B. People can easily lie about their true abilities。

C. Employers often find the results unclear。

D. They may have a negative effect on takers。

23．In Dr. Gill’s v iew, how easy is it to change your personality?
A。

It’s possible in your adult life.
B. It's easy if you have great motivation。

C. It’s unlikely because it requires much energy。

D. It’s difficult before the age of 21.
24．What final conclusion does the author reach about the value of personality tests？
A. They are of doubtful value to employers.
B. They are not really worth doing。

C。

They can strengthen the idea we have of our abilities.
D. They may encourage greater realism.
For many people， being on the job might just sound like a picnic compared to a day at home filled with housework，meals and childcare. Even for those with a happy family life， home can sometimes feel more taxing than work.
In a new study, researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol(皮质醇） released in response to stress, in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home. This was true for both men and women, and parents and people without children。

Both men and women showed less stress at work。

But women were more likely to report feeling happier there。

Men were more likely to feel happier at home. Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many. “Paid work is more valu ed in society，” says Sarah Damaske, the lead researcher on the study。

“Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”
We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards. Yet none of us， no matter how long we’ve been doing it, ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.
The support and friendship of co—workers also offer stress relief. At home，meanwhile, stress spreads and accumulates quickly。

“That’s the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners，" Dr。

Damaske says.
Much of the advice to families and couples include the warning to “leave work stress at the office” and even to change our mind—set from work to home, for example, a walk around the block。

The recent findings， though, suggest our home life, not our attitude， might be due for some change。

25．Which of the following can replace the underlined wo rd “taxing”？
A. stressful.
B. cheerful。

C。

worthwhile. D。

rewarding。

26．What did the research in the second paragraph prove？
A. Men felt better at home.
B. Women felt they had less time。

C. Women were easier to feel happier。

D。

Most people felt more stress at home.
27．What do most people think of work at office?
A。

It is competitive. B。

It improves ability。

C。

It can’t relieve stress。

D. It doesn't always pay off.
28．According to the recent findings, what should we change to solve the problem mentioned？
A。

Our attitude. B。

Our mind-set。

C。

Our home life。

D. Our working style.
Smoking is harmful。

But as soon as you quit the habit, everything will be OK，right?
Wrong。

New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes (基因) will stay there for a much longer time.
In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people。

Among them，some were smokers，some used to smoke, and the rest were non—smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7，000 genes of smokers had changed-a number that is one-third of known human genes。

According to NBC News，both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes。

Some people may have had the changes when they were born，but most people get them in their day—to—day lives while doing things like smoking。

When you stop smoking， a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.
This means your body is trying to heal （治愈） itself of the harmful effects of smoking。

But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years.It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥) 一it will always be there，even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry。

Although the study results may make people unhappy， there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by
smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks. 29．The function of Paragraph 1 is to 。

A。

give an example B. introduce the topic of the passage
C. make an argument D。

show the main idea of the passage
30．Most genetic changes happen because of 。

A。

people’s condition at birth B. environmental pollution
C. people’s bad living habits
D. heart disease and cancer
31．The underlined word “it" in Paragraph 6 refers to .
A。

the cement B. the footprint
C。

the harmful effect D. the genetic change
32．Which of the following statements is true？
A. The findings are the fruit of more than three years' research.
B。

The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking
C. The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.
D. The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.

59．Good morning， everyone!
Welcome to our Reading Activity. It is a great honor for me to be here to say something about our activity, the topic of which is “I Love Chinese Classical Poetry”。

The activity is aimed at motivating us students to learn Chinese actively (或developing a good habit of reading books）as well as inheriting / passing on Chinese traditional culture。

Why I love it is that it has a certain rhyme and is written in simple language， making it easy to learn and recite。

Besides， it usually conveys true emotions towards family, friends or the country，which can make us acquire varous emotional experiences。

In my opinion， reading classical poems can improve our writing skills。

As we know, it is a treasure of Chinese culture。

Only after we learn more Chinese Classical poems will it deepen our understanding of our culture。

I hope the activity will be a great success and everyone can learn much from it。

That’s all。

Thank you.
