way they do because of their personalities and attitudes. they recycle their garbage because they care about the environment. they pay $5 for a caramel brule latte because they like expensive coffee drinks. its undeniable that behavior comes fromour inner dispositions (性情), but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist daryl bern, by observing our own behavior. we can be strangers to ourselves. if we knew our own minds, why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? if our minds were anopenbook, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes. actually, we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are. moreover, we dont just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of characterwe infer characters that werent there before. our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize. maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didnt. maybe we buylattes in order to impress the people around us. we should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition. whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though itmay not be in compliance (符合) with their true desires. therefore, we should all bear in mind kurt vonneguts advice: “we are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”54. according to the passage, personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to _.a. reflect ones taste b. influence ones surroundingsc. determine ones behavior d. result from ones habits55. what can be inferredfromthe underlined sentence in the passage?a. we fall to realize our inner dispositions.b. our behavior is the result of our true desires.c. our characters can shape our social relationships.d. we can be influenced by outside pressures.56. what does the author mainly discuss in the passage?a. personalities and attitudes b. behavior and personalities c. preferences and habits d. attitudes and preferencescthere have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. some people believe that they cant help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold thatif theystop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. here are some more myths:ill never lose weight - i come from a fat familywrong! while we cant change the body type we are born with, we cant blame our genes for making us fat. theres plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.i am fat because i burn calories slowlywrong! fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism（新陈代谢）. in fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.exercise is boringwrong! anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. the key is to develop a balanced and varied program thats fun as well as progressive. if you enjoy a sunday walk, take a different route. if you do yoga, try a tai chi class. if you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.no pain, no gainwrong! exercise is not meant to hurt. indeed, pain is your body telling you somethings wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. you may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. if you dont, rest and seek medical advice.57. what does the author think about being fat?a. it is the family genes that make people fat.b. it is the consequence of peoples unbalanced lifestyle.c. a diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.d. people are fat because they consume too little energy.58. according to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?a. by choosing simple exercise. b. by doing regular exercise.c. by taking varied exercise. d. by sticking to outdoor exercise.59. what is the authors opinion about“no pain, no gain” in exercising?a. keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.b. pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal.c. getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.d. exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.60. what is the purpose of the passage?a. to clarify some misconceptions about fatness and exercise.b. to declare the importance of keeping fit.c. to confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.d. to explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.done day, when i was working as a psychologist(心理医生) in england，an adolescent boy showed up in my office. it was david. he kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. his head teacher had referred him to me.“this boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “he is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and im very worried about him. can you help?”i looked at david and showed him to a chair. how could i help him? there are problems psychology doesnt have the answer to, and which no words can describe. sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.the first two times we met, david didnt say a word. he sat there, only looking up to look at the childrens drawings on the wall behind me. i suggested we play a game of chess. he nodded. after that he played chess with me every wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me. its not easy to cheat in chess, but i admit i made sure david won once or twice.usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before i even got a chance to sit down. it seemed as if he enjoyed my company. but why did he never look at me?“perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” i thought. “perhaps he senses that i respect his suffering.” some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.“its your turn,” he said. after that day, david started talking. he got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. he wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. now he had really started to live his own life.maybe i gave david something. but i also learned that one-without any words-can reach out to another person. all it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.61. when he first met the author, david _.a. showed up with his teacher b. looked a little nervousc. felt a little excited d. walked energetically62. as a psychologist, the author_.a. was skeptical about psychology b. was sure of handling davids problemc
