The form below explains the relationship between colours and personalities. Colours Personalities Green Green is the colour of peace and hope. Kind and peaceful people are often interested in green. They love nature, their families, friends and pets. It is the colour for the garden lover and the home lover. Blue The colour blue means trust, responsibility (责任) and honesty. Blue lovers can be caring, soft, patient, and also be good at self-control. They are often respected for their wisdom. On the other hand, it’s possible that they worry too much. White White offers a sense of peace and calm. As a symbol (象征) of purity, it’s often connected with perfection, honesty and cleanliness. A “white” person can be wise, self-controlled, and a great help when you are in need. Red The colour red stands for liveliness and health. People with an outgoing (外向的) personality like red better. They are active, open and brave. However, “red” people aren’t good at self-check. They can’t often realize their weakness. Yellow Yellow stands for imagination (想象), happiness, joy and wisdom. Yellow lovers usually have a sunny personality and a strong sense of humour.

In the age of social networking, however, first impressions (印象) are sometimes made even before we meet someone in person — that is, by looking at their profile photos (头像). According to a recent study, these profile photos say a lot about people’s personality (个性). For example, outgoing people are more likely to pose in an unusual way and use things such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photos because they enjoy new and exciting experiences. However, neurotic (神经质的) people often hold back their bad feelings. They try to avoid showing their faces. So they often use something like a pet, a car or a building. “The colors used in them also give us some information about the photos’ owners. For example, outgoing people were found to have the most colorful profile photos, as they want to show themselves off.” the researchers wrote. “Although social media photos usually mean an extension (延伸) of oneself, they also allow a user to show his or her own personality and how perfect they can be,” according to the researchers. So, when choosing a profile photo, maybe we should ask ourselves first what kind of photo we’d like to show. After all, first impressions always last. 28．In social networking, we can know what kind of person someone is by ________. A．the way he or she shakes hands B．taking a look at his or her profile photo C．talking or walking with him or her D．asking his or her friends for some information 29．If Steve is outgoing, which profile photo would he like to choose? A． B． C． D． 30．What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A．Outgoing people. B．Neurotic people. C．Social media photos. D．The researchers. 31．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．The first impression will last forever. B．Outgoing people are different from neurotic ones. C．We should be careful when we use the profile photos. D．Our profile photo shows what kind of persons we are. （23-24八年级上·内蒙古乌兰察布·期末）Being outgoing is good for your life.

The form below explains the relationship between colours and personalities. Colours Personalities Green Green is the colour of peace and hope. Kind and peaceful people are often interested in green. They love nature, their families, friends and pets. It is the colour for the garden lover and the home lover. Blue The colour blue means trust, responsibility (责任) and honesty. Blue lovers can be caring, soft, patient, and also be good at self-control. They are often respected for their wisdom. On the other hand, it’s possible that they worry too much. White White offers a sense of peace and calm. As a symbol (象征) of purity, it’s often connected with perfection, honesty and cleanliness. A “white” person can be wise, self-controlled, and a great help when you are in need. Red The colour red stands for liveliness and health. People with an outgoing (外向的) personality like red better. They are active, open and brave. However, “red” people aren’t good at self-check. They can’t often realize their weakness. Yellow Yellow stands for imagination (想象), happiness, joy and wisdom.

In the age of social networking, however, first impressions (印象) are sometimes made even before we meet someone in person — that is, by looking at their profile photos (头像). According to a recent study, these profile photos say a lot about people’s personality (个性). For example, outgoing people are more likely to pose in an unusual way and use things such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photos because they enjoy new and exciting experiences. However, neurotic (神经质的) people often hold back their bad feelings. They try to avoid showing their faces. So they often use something like a pet, a car or a building. “The colors used in them also give us some information about the photos’ owners. For example, outgoing people were found to have the most colorful profile photos, as they want to show themselves off.” the researchers wrote. “Although social media photos usually mean an extension (延伸) of oneself, they also allow a user to show his or her own personality and how perfect they can be,” according to the researchers. So, when choosing a profile photo, maybe we should ask ourselves first what kind of photo we’d like to show. After all, first impressions always last. 28．In social networking, we can know what kind of person someone is by ________. A．the way he or she shakes hands B．taking a look at his or her profile photo C．talking or walking with him or her D．asking his or her friends for some information 29．If Steve is outgoing, which profile photo would he like to choose? A． B． C． D． 30．What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A．Outgoing people. B．Neurotic people. C．Social media photos. D．The researchers. 31．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．The first impression will last forever. B．Outgoing people are different from neurotic ones. C．We should be careful when we use the profile photos. D．Our profile photo shows what kind of persons we are. 【答案】28．B 29．A 30．C 31．D 【导语】本文介绍在这网络时代，我们可以通过看他们的头像来判断一个人的性格。 28．细节理解题。根据“first impressions (印象) are sometimes made even before we meet someone in person — that is, by looking at their profile photos (头像).”可知，通过看头像。故选B。 29．细节理解题。根据“For example, outgoing people are more likely to pose in an unusual way and use things such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photos”可知外向的人可能使用吉他。故选A。 30．词句猜测题。根据“Although social media photos usually mean an extension (延伸) of oneself”可知，代指社交媒体的照片。故选C。 31．主旨大意题。本文介绍在这网络时代，我们可以通过看他们的头像来判断一个人的性格。故选D。 （23-24八年级上·内蒙古乌兰察布·期末）Being outgoing is good for your life.

MBTI (迈尔斯-布里格斯性格分类指标) is a personality test. Many people in China are crazy about it now. Some people use it to find out what they can be. “Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” “I”= introverted (“I’m an ‘I’ person. I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.”) “E”= extroverted (“I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.”) What type of people are you? In the MBTI test, there are 16 personality types. Let’s take a look at some of them. ◆Architect They like to find the rules behind everything they see. They can be architects, artists and TV and film writers. ◆Performer They like to have fun with things around them: food, clothes, and people. They can be actors and teachers. ◆Inventor They are clever. They like to deal with new problems. They can be writers and lawyers. ◆Protector They are warm-hearted. They like to protect others. They can be doctors and nurses. Even if someone is typically quiet, many online discussions suggest that an “I” person can still act outgoing at times. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, they might become more social like an “E” person. So, just take the test for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person. And those four letters of yours don’t define (定义) who you are. 44．What does the underlined word “it” mean? A．The MBTI test. B．The “I” people. C．The “E” people. 45．If you are a person who likes to protect others, who can you be? A． B． C． 46．What does the author say about “I” people in the article? A．They are always quiet.

C．To find out their own personalities. 48．Which of the following is True about the MBTI test? A．It is a necessary test for everyone to take. B．It can be fun but should not define a person. C．It is a very good way to understand a person. 【答案】44．A 45．C 46．B 47．C 48．B 【导语】本文介绍了MBTI性格测试。 44．词义猜测题。根据“MBTI (迈尔斯-布里格斯性格分类指标) is a personality test. Many people in China are crazy about it now.
