“ first , we have to recognize which pieces of our personality affect us , ” says richard levak , a well-known personality expert . “ if i am always getting fired because i get into arguments with co-workers and always blame others , then i have to realize that i have to change something , ” he says .dont set your expectation too high . be patient . warren kennaugh , a behavioral strategist in sydney , says its important so start small . identify a first step and then practice it without worrying about the primary results .44. the underlined word “ innate ” is closest in meaning to _ . a. instructiveb. inbornc. indifferentd. informative45. if steve is a successful sales manager , who always gets well along with others , he probably has the personality model of _ . a. agreeableness and extroversionb. conscientiousness and openness c. agreeableness and neuroticismd. openness and neuroticism46. we can learn from the passage that both soto and kennaugh think that _ . a. adequate time and patience are needed in developing new personalities b. when in trouble , one always needs to reflect on his own behaviors c. one must begin with small things to cultivate new personalities d. we are often not sure of the impact of our personalities on our life47. what is this passage mainly about ?
