My brother used to ask me question whenever he did his homework, that made me annoyed. But every time he accepted my explanations I feel that I was the smartest person in the world. Answered his questions, I always liked to say that he was so stupid to solve such simple problems.

Last week both of them got the report cards from our school. Unexpectedly, I got a lot of Bs, though he got As. To make things worse, all that day my brother screamed how foolish it was for me not to ask questions! I could say nothing but admit that he was right. I have never made a fun of him since then.

Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger¡¯s personality simply by looking at the person¡¯s shoes.

¡°Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers,¡± the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. ¡°Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal indications with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear.¡±

Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits detected in the study include a person¡¯s general age, their gender, income, political affiliation(Åɱð), and other personality characteristics, including someone¡¯s emotional stability.

Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someone¡¯s shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study¡¯s participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.

So, what do your shoes say about your personality?

Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts(ÍâÏòÕß).

However, some of the more specific results are interesting. For example, ¡°practical and functional¡± shoes were generally worn by more ¡°agreeable¡± people, while ankle boots were more closely aligned with ¡°aggressive¡± personalities.

The strangest of all may be that those who wore ¡°uncomfortable looking¡± shoes tend to have ¡°calm¡± personalities.

And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from ¡°attachment anxiety¡±, spending a large amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance. There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing ¡°shabbier and less expensive¡± shoes.

The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities.

A. Attached happiness to one¡¯s personality.

B. Feeling always worried about everything.

C. Often feeling worried about his or her appearance.

D. Wasting an inordinate amount of time.

How to Be a Good Friend

A good friend, who wouldn¡¯t want one? Ever felt like yours just not good enough but don¡¯t know where to improve?__ 1.___ I used to annoy a lot of my friends before, just for the sake of having fun and from that, I¡¯ve learned how to be a good friend, and stay as a good friend.

Listen.

No one likes being interrupted when they¡¯re talking. So, when someone talks, keep yourself quiet and listen to them, especially if they¡¯re feeling down, you need to be the shoulder for them to cry on. If you have any comment to make, be sure that you word it in a way where you don¡¯t sound too negative.___ 2.__ When you just don't share the same interest or you¡¯re not in the mood to listen to them, politely let them know and ask them to understand.

Always smile.

__3.__ The least you can do is, whenever you see your friends, smile and say hello. That way, if they had a bad day, you can make them feel better with your smile along with your ear, and maybe, you can share something funny to cheer them up.

Don¡¯t ever lie.

Everyone would hate being lied to, especially if it¡¯s by your own friend, so don't lie! It might seem alright to lie occasionally, but once you lose your friend¡¯s trust, you may lose them forever. ___4.____

Keep secrets.

Make sure you can keep a secret. If not, tell your friends straight away you cannot help yourself when it comes to secrets. Otherwise, when you let them tell you about their secrets and you ¡°accidentally¡± share it with someone else, you¡¯ll have your friends hating you for the rest of your life. __5.____ Secrets are not meant to be shared, so don¡¯t even try.

A.Everyone has their bad days, and it¡¯s unavoidable.

B.And that is something you surely do not want to happen.

C.They¡¯ll probably call you ¡°big mouth¡±.

D.A few people seem upset at you for being so direct.

E.Otherwise, they may just take it as you are trying to put them down.

F.This same thing happened to a good friend of mine.

G.Well, you¡¯ve come to the right place.

My parents are amazing. I had the most wonderful childhood, and it¡¯s not because I had everything I wanted or because I was a cool kid. I have learned a lot about parenting from what my parents did. Here are a few gems (Õ䱦) that I use now or plan to use in the future with my two boys.

Here¡¯s how a conversation often went when I was a kid. Usually it was around 4:30 p.m. I said, ¡°I¡¯m hungry. Can I have a cookie?¡± My mom answered, ¡°No. Have a banana.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want a banana.¡± ¡°Then you¡¯re not hungry.¡± Sometimes I was angry about it, but I knew that was good for me. Thanks mom for not letting me eat junk food (À¬»øʳƷ). Now I agree with my mother and I have this same conversation with my three-year-old son. I hope it helps him form healthy diet habits.

I know many of us heard this as children. ¡°If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too?¡± If our kids asked for something just because everyone else had it or was doing it, we often got this response. It was the perfect response, and we soon learned not to ask for things because everyone else had it, but because it was something we wanted.

I will always be thankful that my parents let us try the things that interested us, not the things they wanted to push us into. This helped me try swimming, dance, and the piano before second grade. I found a love ¡ª singing ¡ª and kept up with that through my college years. It drives me crazy, as a mom and teacher, when I see kids who are pushed into their parents¡¯ favorite activities, even when they don¡¯t have a passion for them.

1.What are the gems in the writer¡¯s mind?

A. Her parents¡¯ knowledge.

B. Her parents¡¯ educational methods.

C. Her parents¡¯ love.

D. Her parents¡¯ personalities.

2. Why does the writer mention the conversation with her mother in Paragraph 2?

A. To show her mother was so strict with her.

B. To stress the importance of healthy diet habits.

C. To show her mother was not concerned about her.

D. To show how her mother helped her develop healthy diet habits.

3.The response from the writer¡¯s parents in Paragraph 3 is mainly used to .

A. refuse their kid¡¯s same request

B. meet their kid¡¯s right request

C. tell their kid not to be in danger

D. tell the good from the bad

4.Which of the following may be supported by the writer?

A. The children must do what their parents want them to.

B. The children can do anything that they want to.

C. The children must do what is useful to society.

D. The children can try the things that interest them.

1. From 18£­25, according to I.Q. scores£»but you are wiser and more experienced with increasing age. You are smartest in your 20's; around 30, your memory begins to go down, particularly your ability to perform mathematical computations(Êýѧ¼ÆËã). 2. Your vocabulary at the age of 45, for example, is three times as great as when you graduated from college. At 60, your brain has almost four times as much information as it did at the age of 21.

3. You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24; the best professional sense from 40 to 49. Before the age of 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to come£»over 30£¬we believe that they are behind us. A National Health survey agrees: after the age of 30, we become more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself. If we keep our health, achieve professional and emotional goals, happiness, we feel, will follow.

4. Generally between 30 and 39, but the peak (¶¥·å)varies with different professions(Ö°Òµ). Mozart wrote a symphony and four sonatas by the age of 8, and Mendelssohn composed his best?known work A Midsummer Night's Dream at 17, but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 39.

Though the peak in most fields comes early, most Nobel Prize winners did their top research in their late 20's and 30's¡ªcreative people continue to produce work with high quality(ÖÊÁ¿) throughout their lives. 5.

A. When are you most creative ?

B. When are you happiest?

C. When are you smartest?

D. Do you know what I.Q. refers to?

E. But your I.Q. for other tasks goes up.

F. Creative people usually produce a lot of works.

G. For the ¡°well?conditioned mind¡±, there is no upper limit.£¨ÏÞÖÆ£©
