Our personalities reveal a lot about who we are. But what’s surprising is that our personality can also say something about our health. That’s according to researchers at Duke University, US. During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed (评定) their personalities in two ways: by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found that those who were careful at age 26 were in better health after 12 years. Being careful means that people tend to have a lot of self-control, and are less likely to smoke, the scientists said. Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and healthy diet. From those who were least careful, 45 percent developed health problems by the age of 38. Such health issues included gum disease and high blood pressure (高血压). To compare, only 18 percent of careful people went on to develop health problems. Another positive personality was called “openness to experience”, meaning curious and imaginative. People who have more of this personality have higher IQ scores. So they’d be more likely to know how to find medical help to prevent disease. According to the report, if doctors assessed our personalities, it could help doctors to find which young adults need advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle. What’s surprising is that stress didn’t play a big part on a person’s health. Even though stress and anxiety (焦虑) are usually linked to bad health. But can a doctor who knows our personality really improve our health? Or should doctors be kept away from knowing something so personal? 1．Which personality type may be better for our health, according to the research? A．Careful. B．Stressed. C．Shy. D．Careless. 2．From the passage, we learn that careful people ____. A．are too shy to talk to strangers B．love to ask the doctor for advice C．are likely to have a healthy lifestyle D．may have high blood pressure when they’re older 3．What is the main idea of the article? A．People can change their personality type. B．Scientists have found two different personality types. C．Personalities have something to do with our lifestyle. D．Personalities say something about our health. 4．From the last paragraph, we can infer that_____________. A．stress can lead to many health problems B．those who have high IQ scores are very careful C．it’s not clear that a doctor who knows our personality can improve our health D．the writer thinks doctors should know something special about us 5．Where can you probably read the article? On___________. A．entertainment news B．a science magazine C．a movie poster D．a travel guide 任务型阅读。 Wang Qian was a lovely girl, who never argued with her parents. But when she became an eighth-grader, things started to change. “We often argue, sometimes because of unimportant things,” she said. Maybe Wang got the “eighth-grade syndrome (综合症)”. Some experts think eighth-graders usually go through a lot because of the changes in their body and mind. A survey shows that the lack (缺乏) of support from parents is also a reason. Wang’s classmate Liu Shijin is an example. “The exams in Grade 8 are difficult, but my parents still don’t support me,” she said sadly. As eighth-graders enter the rebellious phase (进入叛逆期), they want to be free and have their own ideas. The survey shows that about 47 percent of eighth-graders try to persuade (说服) their parents when they have different ideas. Wang feels this deeply. “I think I am an adult. I can make decisions by myself,” she said. For example, she thinks there is nothing wrong with playing with boys, but her parents don’t agree with her. They often argue about this. To deal with these problems, an expert from Nantong gives useful advice to eighth-graders. “First, calm down and pay more attention to your studies. Second, develop some interests and share them with your parents. Finally, learn about your changes and know yourself well. Then try to accept them,” she said. 1．Why do students have “eighth-grade syndrome”? ________________________________________________________________________ 2．What does Liu Shijin think of the exams in Grade 8? ________________________________________________________________________ 3．What do eighth-graders want when they enter the rebellious phase? ________________________________________________________________________ 4．What percentage of eighth-graders try to persuade their parents when having different ideas? ________________________________________________________________________ 5．How many pieces of advice does the expert from Nantong give to eighth-graders? ________________________________________________________________________ ( 1 / 7 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 3 Growing Up 课时2 Section A (3a-3d) 分层作业 核心知识速记 03拓展培优 01基础达标 04思维进阶 02能力提升 ( 词汇 standard /ˈ stændəd / n. 标准；水平 adj. 标准的 award / əˈwɔːd / n. 奖；奖品 get across 解释清楚；传达 clearly /ˈ klɪəli / adv. 清楚地 pressure /ˈ preʃə (r)/ n. 压力 句型 1.

Our personalities reveal a lot about who we are. But what’s surprising is that our personality can also say something about our health. That’s according to researchers at Duke University, US. During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed (评定) their personalities in two ways: by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found that those who were careful at age 26 were in better health after 12 years. Being careful means that people tend to have a lot of self-control, and are less likely to smoke, the scientists said. Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and healthy diet. From those who were least careful, 45 percent developed health problems by the age of 38. Such health issues included gum disease and high blood pressure (高血压). To compare, only 18 percent of careful people went on to develop health problems. Another positive personality was called “openness to experience”, meaning curious and imaginative. People who have more of this personality have higher IQ scores. So they’d be more likely to know how to find medical help to prevent disease. According to the report, if doctors assessed our personalities, it could help doctors to find which young adults need advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle. What’s surprising is that stress didn’t play a big part on a person’s health. Even though stress and anxiety (焦虑) are usually linked to bad health. But can a doctor who knows our personality really improve our health? Or should doctors be kept away from knowing something so personal? 1．Which personality type may be better for our health, according to the research? A．Careful. B．Stressed. C．Shy. D．Careless. 2．From the passage, we learn that careful people ____. A．are too shy to talk to strangers B．love to ask the doctor for advice C．are likely to have a healthy lifestyle D．may have high blood pressure when they’re older 3．What is the main idea of the article? A．People can change their personality type. B．Scientists have found two different personality types. C．Personalities have something to do with our lifestyle. D．Personalities say something about our health. 4．From the last paragraph, we can infer that_____________. A．stress can lead to many health problems B．those who have high IQ scores are very careful C．it’s not clear that a doctor who knows our personality can improve our health D．the writer thinks doctors should know something special about us 5．Where can you probably read the article? On___________. A．entertainment news B．a science magazine C．a movie poster D．a travel guide 【答案】【分析】试题分析：本文介绍了我们的性格会影响我们的健康。科学家通过研究发现细心的人更健康。乐观的人智商高，更有可能知道如何用医药帮助来预防疾病。因此如果医生了解我们的个性，他们就能帮助提高我们的健康。 1．推理判断题。由第三段可以推出：细心的人更健康。 2．细节理解题。由文中Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and healthy diet.得出。 3．主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了our personality can also say something about our health. 4．推理判断题。由最后一段可以推出：了解我们个性的医生是否能提高我们的健康。 5．推理判断题。本文是一篇科学研究，故有可能出现在科学杂志。 任务型阅读。 Wang Qian was a lovely girl, who never argued with her parents. But when she became an eighth-grader, things started to change. “We often argue, sometimes because of unimportant things,” she said. Maybe Wang got the “eighth-grade syndrome (综合症)”. Some experts think eighth-graders usually go through a lot because of the changes in their body and mind. A survey shows that the lack (缺乏) of support from parents is also a reason. Wang’s classmate Liu Shijin is an example. “The exams in Grade 8 are difficult, but my parents still don’t support me,” she said sadly. As eighth-graders enter the rebellious phase (进入叛逆期), they want to be free and have their own ideas. The survey shows that about 47 percent of eighth-graders try to persuade (说服) their parents when they have different ideas. Wang feels this deeply. “I think I am an adult. I can make decisions by myself,” she said. For example, she thinks there is nothing wrong with playing with boys, but her parents don’t agree with her. They often argue about this. To deal with these problems, an expert from Nantong gives useful advice to eighth-graders. “First, calm down and pay more attention to your studies. Second, develop some interests and share them with your parents. Finally, learn about your changes and know yourself well. Then try to accept them,” she said. 1．Why do students have “eighth-grade syndrome”? ________________________________________________________________________ 2．What does Liu Shijin think of the exams in Grade 8? ________________________________________________________________________ 3．What do eighth-graders want when they enter the rebellious phase? ________________________________________________________________________ 4．What percentage of eighth-graders try to persuade their parents when having different ideas? ________________________________________________________________________ 5．How many pieces of advice does the expert from Nantong give to eighth-graders? ________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】【导语】本文主要讲了八年级学生出现“八年级综合症”的原因、表现及应对建议的内容。 1．根据“Some experts think eighth-graders usually go through a lot because of the changes in their body and mind.
