An expert in the UK did the study on a group of English people. The research found that almost everyone’s personality changed when they grew old. The findings came out in a magazine called Psychology and Aging.

The research was based on a study that began in 1950. A group of teachers gave more than 1,200 14-year-old students personality tests. They tested six basic personality traits（特点）: self-confidence, sense of responsibility（责任感）, patience, a strong wish to win, creativity and self-control.

In 2012, researchers successfully found 174 of the 1,200 students, who were 77 years old on average at the time. They agreed to take a personality test. That was similar to the one they had completed 63 years ago.

Researchers then compared the then-and-now test results. They were surprised to find great changes to all six personality traits of these people. Self-control and sense of responsibility had changed less. But there were still not many similarities between the two results.

The younger and older self seemed to be completely different for each person.“ It was as if the second test had been given to different people,” the study’s authors noted.

In the past, personality was widely believed to stay the same. However, this new study may bring some fresh ideas.

First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says,“ At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.

Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what kind of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the topic of conversation. If someone insists on one topic, it means he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to the voice. If the voice sounds bored, then, it’s time for you to change the topic.

Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of saying good-bye. If you’re saying it, you may give him a handshake and say,“ I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret. Let people know your thoughts.

【1】Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way .

A. to make more and more new friends.

B. to begin your business talks

C. to get things going

D. to make a deep and lasting impression on others

【2】After asking somebody a question, it’ll be polite of you to .

A. agree with what others say all the time

B. listen to his reply attentively

C. change the topic

D. go on asking him more questions

【3】Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who .

A. are good at answering questions

B. never talk too much or too little

C. always speak in a gentle way

D. know when they should change the topic of the talk

【4】If you really want to meet someone again, .

A. you may take him as your lifelong true friend

B. it seems necessary for you to let him know it

C. it’s proper for you to give him a second handshake

D. it’ll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him

An old saying goes,“ When in Rome（罗马）, do as the Romans do.” I learned the 【1】 of this when I studied in Russia.

Russians have their own special habits. My Russian friend, Andrey always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home.

So they won’t leave anything necessary behind.”
