Dear Uncle John,

How are you? I’m writing to tell you about my new life at middle school. I’ve made some really cool friends.

My best friend is Alex. He is a tall boy with curly brown hair and green eyes. He is very athletic and loves playing basketball. We share a passion for history. We both want to become archaeologists one day.

His sister, Emma, is in our grade too. She is tall and thin, with long blonde hair and blue eyes. She is more outgoing than Leo and loves singing.

I feel lucky to have such a diverse group of friends. They each have their own strengths and quirks, which makes our time together never boring.

On the right is Max, who is also my cousin. He is shorter than Jack but more athletic. He plays soccer for the school team. He and Olivia are in different schools, but they get along well. Max often invites us to watch his matches. He is very outgoing and makes everyone laugh with his jokes.

C

① Have you ever noticed that some people are natural leaders while others prefer to follow? This is often linked to personality types. Psychologists have long studied what makes people tick.

② One well-known theory divides personalities into “introverts” and “extroverts”. Introverts are quiet, thoughtful, and enjoy solitary activities. They feel drained after social interactions. Extroverts, on the other hand, are energetic, talkative, and gain energy from being around others. These tendencies are believed to be partly genetic.

③ However, environment also plays a crucial role. A child raised in a large, noisy family may become more extroverted, while a child with few siblings might develop introverted habits. Moreover, cultural norms affect how these traits are expressed. For example, in some cultures, loudness is seen as confidence, while in others, it’s seen as rudeness.

④ But personality is not fixed. People can shift along the introvert-extrovert spectrum over time. Life events, career choices, and deliberate practice can change how we interact with others. For instance, a shy person might take a public speaking course and become more confident. Or an extrovert might learn to appreciate quiet reflection after taking up meditation.

⑤ Ultimately, neither type is better than the other. Each has its strengths. Introverts often excel at deep thinking and creativity, while extroverts are great at networking and teamwork. The key is to understand your own tendencies and make the most of them, while also stepping out of your comfort zone when needed.

31. According to the passage, what is the difference between introverts and extroverts?
A. Introverts are smarter than extroverts. B. Extroverts get energy from socializing, while
