Passage 1(词数183 建议用时7分钟)
People in ancient Greece believed that a person's character was shown by the four humours in the body: blood, yellow bile, black bile and phlegm. This idea lasted for over 2,000 years.
Today, scientists have a different way to describe personality. They use the "Big Five" model: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. Each person has these five qualities in different amounts.
People who are high in openness like new ideas and experiences. They enjoy art, music and travel. Those who are high in conscientiousness are careful and organised. They plan things well and finish what they start. Extraverts get energy from being with other people. They are talkative and enjoy parties. People who are agreeable are kind and helpful. They care about others' feelings. Those who are high in neuroticism often worry and feel stressed.
Knowing your own personality can help you choose the right job. For example, a conscientious person may make a good accountant, while an extravert may enjoy being a salesperson. It can also help you understand why you get along well with some people but not with others.
1. How long did the idea of the four humours last?
2. What kind of people are careful and organised?
3. What do extraverts get energy from?
4. What can knowing your own personality help you do?
5. List another way to describe a person's character besides the "Big Five" model.

Wu Wei is a born artist. His sculptures are wonderful. He is quiet and doesn't like to talk much, but his work shouts. He is modest and easy to work with. He likes to share his best art with people. He is also very creative — he often gets new ideas from nature.
Su Ning is a manager of a big company. She is active and energetic. She loves working with people. She is confident and is not afraid of making speeches. She is also very organized — she plans everything well before she starts.
Liu Tao is an engineer. He is very careful. He pays attention to every detail. He is patient and does not get angry easily. He is also very practical — he always thinks about how to solve real problems.
These three people have different personalities, but they all do their jobs very well. The key is to know yourself and find the right place for your talents.

Passage 3(词数156 建议用时6分钟)
Are you a "people person" or a "loner"? A people person enjoys being with others. A loner prefers to be alone. Both are fine — it just depends on your personality.
People persons are usually outgoing. They like to talk and share. They feel happy when they are with friends. They are good at making others feel comfortable. They often work well in teams.
Loners are often quiet. They enjoy their own company. They may like reading, drawing or thinking. They are often good at focusing on one thing for a long time. They do not need many friends, but they are loyal to the few they have.
It is important to understand that one type is not better than the other. People persons may be good at jobs like teaching or selling. Loners may be good at jobs like writing or science. The best thing is to accept who you are and use your strengths.

2. What do people persons often do well in?
