“Your personality has three different layers （层）,” says Robyn Fivush, a psychologist at Emory University.

First, there are your most basic personality traits（特征）,including how open you are to new experiences, and whether you like to be with other people or prefer to be alone, and how stressed out you get in challenging situations. Your basic traits are pretty obvious（明显的） even when you’re a baby.“Some babies are a little bit fussier or a little bit more active or a little bit more smiley. Those can develop into more stable personality traits,” Fivush says. “They stay pretty much the same as you grow up.”

The next layer of your personality is your experiences. If your family is loving and responsive when you ’re a baby, that teaches you “the world is a safe and trusting place, I’m going to be OK, my needs are going to be met, and if anything bad happens, I have people to take care of me,” Fivush says. That feeling of trust and security lasts for your whole life, and it tends to make you more confident and capable of dealing with difficulties when you are an adult.

“The third layer is the stories you tell about yourself,” Fivush says. "We all tell stories about our lives, both to ourselves and to other people. Those stories give meaning to your experiences. They can be stories about your own life-like how much you loved your science teacher, what a great time you bad when she helped you with your science fair project, and how that made you want to be a scientist. But your family’s stories are equally important.” Knowing about how your parents met, or what your grandmother’s childhood was like, helps you see where you come from. And talking with your family about both the happy and sad times you’ve experienced can help you understand those events more clearly and learn different ways to deal with challenges. Family stories don’t just teach you who you are-they help you figure out who you want to be.

26.According to the passage, which of the following is one of a person’s most basic personality traits?

A.Growing up in a wealthy family.

B.Being open to new experiences.

C.Sharing family stories with teachers.

D.Understanding events in an easy way.

27.What will a man most probably be like if he grows up in a loving family?

A.Confident. B.Generous. C.Honest. D.Helpful.

28.Why are family stories important?

A.Because they can make your dream come true.

B.Because they can make you feel happy and relaxed.

C.Because they can help you understand who you want to be.

D.Because they can help you deal with any difficulties you meet.

C

Recently, I asked a seeing friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. “Nothing special,” she replied.

How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight（视力）? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days.

On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep.

On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend at the movies.
