Finding the Real You

Psychometric testing—personality testing—has been very popular nowadays as studies show their results to be three times more accurate in predicting your job performance. These tests are now included in almost all graduate recruitment (招聘) and are widely used in the selection of managers.

The most popular of these personality tests is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). It is based on the theory that we are born with a tendency to one personality type which stays more or less fixed throughout life. You answer 88 questions and are then given your “type”, such as Outgoing or Quiet, Feeling or Thinking.

Critics of personality testing raise doubts about “social engineering”. Psychologist Dr. Colin Gill warns that the “popular” personality traits (特性) have their disadvantages. “People who are extremely open to new experiences can be butterflies, going from one idea to the next without mastering any of them.” However, the psychometric test is here to stay, which may be why a whole sub-industry on cheating personality tests has sprung up. “It’s possible to cheat,” admits Gill, “but having to pretend to be the person you are at work will be tiring and unhappy and probably short-lived.”

So can we change our personality? “Your basic personality is fixed by the time you’re 21,”says Gill,“ but it can be affected by motivation and intelligence. If you didn’t have the personality type to be a doctor but desperately wanted to be one and were intelligent enough to master the skills, you could still go ahead. But trying to go too much against type for too long requires much energy and is actually to be suffered for long. I think it’s why we’re seeing this trend for downshifting—too many people trying to fit in to a type that they aren’t really suited for.”

Our interest in personality now exists in every part of our lives. If you ask an expert for advice on anything, you’ll probably be quizzed about your personality. But if personality tests have any value to us, perhaps it is to free us from the idea that all of us are full of potential, and remind us of what we are. As they say in one test when they ask for your age: pick the one you are, not the one you wish you were.

1.The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is based on the belief that ______.

A. certain personality traits are common

B. personality is largely decided from birth

C. some personality types are better than others

D. personality traits are various from time to time

2.According to Dr. Gill, what is the problem with personality tests?

A. Employers often find the results unclear.

B. They may have a negative effect on takers.

C. People can easily lie about their true abilities.

D. The results could be opposite to what employers want.

3. In Dr. Gill’s view, how easy is it to change your personality?

A. It’s possible in your adult life.

B. It’s easy if you have great motivation.

C. It’s difficult before the age of 21.

D. It’s unlikely because it requires much energy.

4.What final conclusion does the author reach about the value of personality tests?

A. They are not really worth doing.

B. They may encourage greater realism.

C. They are of doubtful value to employers.

D. They can strengthen the idea we have of our abilities.

Though great progress has made in science these years, there are still many people living in poor conditions. They make their lives by collecting and selling used thing. Their children cannot go to school because they have not enough money to send their children to there. Why you think so many people still suffer from poverty now? The answer lies on the population explosion. A president of a developing country once said; "It is us who are to blame for the poverty because we used to 'produce' child without limit." Although this few words sound simple enough, they have clear pointed out one of the causes of the population explosion.

Mark Twain was a great writer. He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humor. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.

One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he’d better not go there. Mark Twain waved (摇动) his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I don’t think they will come to visit me.”

After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. “I’m very sorry, Mr Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in our town.” One of them said to him.

In today’s China, exchanges between Chinese and English-speakers are increasingly frequent. English skills are important to Chinese if China wishes to play a stronger role on the world stage. However, the general English level of the Chinese people is on the decline.

China’s ranking in the 2015 EF English Proficiency Index dropped 10 drops. It was ranked 47th out of 70 countries rated, and is now similar to several Latin American countries. The report triggered widespread discussion in China：in an increasingly international nation, why is the peoples’ level of English getting worse?

A decline in the English level of the Chinese people is no accident. With China’s exam-based education system, worsening English is unavoidable. English education in China is too focused on grammar and ignored oral practice. This results in students often being too scared to speak, for fear of making a mistake. Exam-based courses lead to the problem that students merely learn for the test, not learn the language.

In Latin America, nations do not have a rigorous exam system for English, but focus on promoting the language itself. Such programs that promote English include Chile’s “English Opens Doors,” program, Panama’s “Panama Bilingual Education Program,” and Mexico’s “10 Million People Plan.” Brazil, which also has a government program, is ranked first in the region for English.

The Chinese government should first think about how to reduce the amount of pressure on students taking exams in order to promote change in the current system of rote English education. This is the most important step.

Everyone has been recently focused on overseas returnees. The number of Chinese studying abroad has rapidly multiplied in past years. At the same time, the number of overseas returnees is increasing as well. The job market is also increasingly competitive for them and it is often more difficult for returnees to find a suitable job than it is for domestic graduates.

Difficulties and pressure in the job market for overseas returnees discourages a number of Chinese from studying abroad. As a result, the number of Chinese with high-level English, carefully perfected abroad, has been reduced. This could be a major reason for why English is getting worse overall in China.

While China’s overall level of English has declined, it has not affected China’s huge emphasis on English education and training. China remains one of the nations that is most committed to the study of English.

1.What does the writer want to do with this article?

A. To advise the Chinese government to reform its exam-based education.

B. To analyze the reasons why China’s general English level is on the decline.

C. To report the phenomenon that there is a decline in English level of Chinese people.

D. To compare the different ways of learning English between China and Latin America.

2.Which statement is FALSE according to the passage?

A. Nations in Latin America has carried out some programs to promote the English language itself.

B. China has a rigorous exam system focusing on English grammar while ignoring oral practice.

C. The major reason why there is a decline of Chinese people’s English level is that the Chinese government no longer lays emphasis on English education and training.

D. In China, due to the competitive job job market these days, it’s often easier for domestic graduates to find a suitable job than overseas returnees.

3.What measure can help improve English level of Chinese people?

A. Stopping testing English in the educational examination system.

B. Reducing the amount of pressure on students studying English.

C. Encouraging more students to study in Latin American countries.

D. Focusing more on expressive abilities and less on grammatical exams.
