Men and women often do things in different ways. Scientists are curious to know the reasons. Through some research on the human brain, they’ve discovered some interesting facts.
Generally, women’s brains make them notice and remember details (细节) more easily. They are more likely to think back to the smell in a room, the sound of a song, or the little things they see during the day. For example, a woman might easily remember what her friend wore last week. However, men’s brains are more focused on the task at hand. A man will pay more attention to a single job until it’s fully finished. He might work on fixing a car without being influenced by other things.
These different thinking patterns also influence how they view their lives. Women usually see all sides of their lives as connected. If they have a bad day at work, it might influence their mood at home. However, men usually see each part of their lives, like work, hobbies, and family, as separate (独立的) pieces.
In a team, men and women contribute (贡献) differently. Women are more likely to share ideas and build good relationships among team members. Men, on the other hand, prefer to arrange tasks and make everyone work effectively (有效地).
Although men and women have their differences, both ways of thinking are important. They help us solve different problems and answer all kinds of questions in life.

A.Men’s way of thinking is better than women’s.
B.Women’s way of thinking suits family problems.
C.We need both men’s and women’s ways of thinking to live better.
D.Men and women can’t work together well because of their different thinking.

Sherlock Holmes was an INTP. Ernest Hemingway was an ESTP. Michael Jackson was an ISFP…
What do these four-lettered words mean? Well, if you have heard of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), you might know them. With 93 questions, the test groups all of the different people in the world into 16 personality tests in the world, but the MBTI is perhaps the most popular one. More than 1.5 million people take it every year.
However, the MBTI is not an accurate (精准的) way to find something as changeable as a person’s personality. Its creators, Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs-Myers, were not trained psychologists (心理学家). What’s more, the two were unable to scientifically prove (证明) their findings.
Then how has this test become so popular? To answer this question, we need to find out what drove Briggs and Briggs-Myers to create it. Briggs was a mother. After reading Carl Jung’s Psychological Types, she decided to create a tool to help parents understand their children’s interests. Briggs-Myers continued to work on the MBTI in the 1940s. Traditional personality tests would divide people into two simple groups: those who were good and those who were bad. The woman wanted everyone to be able to understand her test, while people may be different from one another, they are all created equal (生而平等). This perhaps holds the key to the MBTI’s success: The test never judges personalities negatively (负面地).
The MBTI may not be the best way for checking one’s personality, but this doesn’t mean it’s totally useless. Many people are hungry for self-knowledge. The MBTI just offers that knowledge in a painless way.
1.According to the MBTI, how many personality types are there in the world?
2.What was the relationship between the two creators of the MBTI?
3.Why did Katharine Briggs decide to create the MBTI?
4.What’s the key to the MBTI’s success?
5.In your opinion, how can MBTI help us in our daily life?
【答案】1.16/Sixteen. 2.Mother and daughter. 3.To help parents understand their children’s interests. 4.The test never judges personalities negatively. 5.I think it offers self-knowledge in a painless way. (答案不唯一,言之有理即可)
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了MBTI的起源、特点及其受欢迎的原因。
1.根据文章第2段“With 93 questions, the test groups all of the different people in the world into 16 personality tests in the world, but the MBTI is perhaps the most popular one.”可知,通过93个问题,该测试将世界上所有不同的人分为16种性格类型。故填16/Sixteen.
2.根据文章第3段“Its creators, Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs-Myers, were not trained psychologists.”可知,它的创造者是Katharine Briggs和她的女儿Isabel Briggs-Myers,两人为母女关系。故填Mother and daughter.
3.根据文章第4段“After reading Carl Jung’s Psychological Types, she decided to create a tool to help parents understand their children’s interests.”可知,她决定创建一个工具来帮助父母了解孩子的兴趣。故填To help parents understand their children’s interests.
4.根据文章第4段“This perhaps holds the key to the MBTI’s success: The test never judges personalities negatively.”可知,MBTI成功的关键是:该测试从不负面地评判性格。故填The test never judges personalities negatively.
5.开放性问答,言之有理即可。参考答案:I think it offers self-knowledge in a painless way. (我认为它以一种无痛的方式提供了自我认识。)

How to have good friends? Here are some tips for you.
Choosing Friends
Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends with the same interests. But that doesn’t mean you have to be like each other. It’s OK if you enjoy some of the same things.
Making Friends
●The quickest way to make friends is to smile. Remember that most people hate an angry face.
●One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice. For example, you could talk about a great answer to a teacher’s question and so on.
● Ask your new friends questions about themselves. “Who’s your favourite singer? Where do you live? What do you do after school?” are all good questions.
Having Activities Together
It’s always fun to play your favourite activities with your friends together. For example, inviting a friend to your house is a great way to make your friendship closer. Make sure the activities can be done together. You may both love playing computer games, but if one person is playing and the other has nothing to do but watch, that will be boring.
Friendship is an important part in our life, for friends make us happy and support us through hard times. If you are still waiting for your “friends”, start with the tips above.
1.What kind of friends do most people want to have?
2.What is the quickest way to make friends?

【答案】
1.the 2.to 3.ways 4.differently 5.talented 6.nicer 7171.will reach 8.sharing 9.Although 10.them
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章讲述了作者和她的双胞胎妹妹在穿着、性格和交流方式上的不同。作者认为每个人都有独特之处,就像世界上没有两片相同的叶子。
1.句意:我总是认为世界上没有两片叶子是完全相同的。根据“no leaves (叶子) are ... same in the world.”可知,此处表示“世界上没有两片叶子是完全相同的”,固定短语the same意为“相同的”。故填the。

The way you look is special. Do you know what I mean by that? We all look a little different. Some of us are tall. Some of us are fat. The point is, all of us have our own look—our own face.
Sometimes, we might feel bad about looking different. We might feel like we look ugly or weird (怪异的). But our differences are what make us special.
I recently watched a speech by a man named Robert Hoge. Hoge was born with a strange-looking face. His mother worried about the difficulties he would face in life.
But Hoge didn’t give up. Strangers would stare at (盯着看) him or even make fun of him. But he didn’t care. He decided to own his face and feel confident in himself. He has gone on to live an amazing life.
It’s hard when you feel like you don’t look “normal (正常的)” or “perfect ”. But the truth is, no one is perfect. The important thing to remember is that you are special, no matter what you look like.

Men and women often do things in different ways. Scientists are curious to know the reasons. Through some research on the human brain, they’ve discovered some interesting facts.
Generally, women’s brains make them notice and remember details (细节) more easily. They are more likely to think back to the smell in a room, the sound of a song, or the little things they see during the day. For example, a woman might easily remember what her friend wore last week. However, men’s brains are more focused on the task at hand. A man will pay more attention to a single job until it’s fully finished. He might work on fixing a car without being influenced by other things.
These different thinking patterns also influence how they view their lives. Women usually see all sides of their lives as connected. If they have a bad day at work, it might influence their mood at home. However, men usually see each part of their lives, like work, hobbies, and family, as separate (独立的) pieces.
In a team, men and women contribute (贡献) differently. Women are more likely to share ideas and build good relationships among team members. Men, on the other hand, prefer to arrange tasks and make everyone work effectively (有效地).
Although men and women have their differences, both ways of thinking are important. They help us solve different problems and answer all kinds of questions in life.
1.What does the underlined word “curious” mean in Paragraph 1?
A.Interested. B.Happy. C.Surprised. D.Angry.

Unluckily Nick still lost the game. This time Nick had no excuses. He lowered his head and planned to leave. However, Jack went over to him and said, “Do not be sad!

In families with many children, the oldest, middle and youngest children are often very different. Studies show that many first-born children are more hard-working and more serious than their brothers and sisters. 1 . They work hard to please their parents.
The youngest is always the parents’ “baby”, so the youngest is usually more outgoing and funnier than the other children. The youngest child is also usually the most spoiled (惯坏的) of all the children in the family. There is a common joke that all salespeople are the youngest in their families, 2 .
3 . Many middle children are good at making peace between people, because they have to learn how to live with the very different personalities of the youngest and the oldest. Middle children sometimes feel unhappy, because they feel that the hard-working oldest child and the outgoing youngest child get most of their parents’ attention. 4 , because they are used to thinking for themselves and choosing their own way.

Sadly, I found out that all of my close friends were not in my new class. And my new classmates were quite different from my old ones. 2 They also weren’t in the school activities I was in. I couldn’t find common interests with them.
3 I also began to envy (嫉妒) people in other classes. Why could they be with all their friends? But then I found out, they didn’t have many friends at first. 4 They seemed very happy with their new friends.
5 I found out that the people with many friends were very active. They often talked to others first, while I was too afraid to talk to others, and hoped other people would talk to me first.

Sherlock Holmes was an INTP. Ernest Hemingway was an ESTP. Michael Jackson was an ISFP…
What do these four-lettered words mean? Well, if you have heard of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), you might know them. With 93 questions, the test groups all of the different people in the world into 16 personality tests in the world, but the MBTI is perhaps the most popular one. More than 1.5 million people take it every year.
However, the MBTI is not an accurate (精准的) way to find something as changeable as a person’s personality. Its creators, Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs-Myers, were not trained psychologists (心理学家). What’s more, the two were unable to scientifically prove (证明) their findings.
Then how has this test become so popular? To answer this question, we need to find out what drove Briggs and Briggs-Myers to create it. Briggs was a mother. After reading Carl Jung’s Psychological Types, she decided to create a tool to help parents understand their children’s interests. Briggs-Myers continued to work on the MBTI in the 1940s. Traditional personality tests would divide people into two simple groups: those who were good and those who were bad. The woman wanted everyone to be able to understand her test, while people may be different from one another, they are all created equal (生而平等). This perhaps holds the key to the MBTI’s success: The test never judges personalities negatively (负面地).
The MBTI may not be the best way for checking one’s personality, but this doesn’t mean it’s totally useless. Many people are hungry for self-knowledge. The MBTI just offers that knowledge in a painless way.
1.According to the MBTI, how many personality types are there in the world?
2.What was the relationship between the two creators of the MBTI?
3.Why did Katharine Briggs decide to create the MBTI?
4.What’s the key to the MBTI’s success?
5.In your opinion, how can MBTI help us in our daily life?

How to have good friends? Here are some tips for you.
Choosing Friends
Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends with the same interests. But that doesn’t mean you have to be like each other. It’s OK if you enjoy some of the same things.
Making Friends
●The quickest way to make friends is to smile. Remember that most people hate an angry face.
●One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice. For example, you could talk about a great answer to a teacher’s question and so on.
● Ask your new friends questions about themselves. “Who’s your favourite singer? Where do you live? What do you do after school?” are all good questions.
Having Activities Together
It’s always fun to play your favourite activities with your friends together. For example, inviting a friend to your house is a great way to make your friendship closer. Make sure the activities can be done together. You may both love playing computer games, but if one person is playing and the other has nothing to do but watch, that will be boring.
Friendship is an important part in our life, for friends make us happy and support us through hard times. If you are still waiting for your “friends”, start with the tips above.
1.What kind of friends do most people want to have?
2.What is the quickest way to make friends?
3.How many ways of making friends are mentioned in the passage?
4.How can you make the friendship between you and your friend closer?
5.Why is friendship an important part in our life?
