of describing differences in personality was to classify people according to types and such a system is called a Typology A famous example of this method was set forth in Greece about the year 400 B C A physician named Hippocrates theorized that there were four fluids or humors in the body Corresponding to each humor he believed there existed a definite type of personality The four humors were blood yellow bile black bile and phlegm A person in whom all four humors were in perfect balance had a harmonious personality If a person had too much blood he was called sanguine 血红色血红色 or cheerful and optimistic Someone with too much yellow bile was choleric or irritable and easily angered Too much black bile made a person melancholy or depressed and pessimistic An oversupply of phlegm caused a human being to be phlegmatic or slow and unfeeling Scientists have long since discarded Hippocrates fluid theory But the names of the humors corresponding to these temperaments have survived and are still useful to some extent in describing personality Other features of people such as their faces and physics have also been used to classify personality Today however personality theories and classifications may also include factors such as heredity 遗传特征遗传特征 the environment intelligence and emotional needs Psychology biology and sociology are involved in these theories Because of the complexity of human personality present day theories are often very different from one another Psychologists vary in their ideas about what is most important in determining personality 63 According to Hippocrates fluid theory a man with too much phlegm will be A optimistic B easily angered C unexcitable D pessimistic 64 The main idea of this passage is about A the complicated factors in determining

psychologists A have common opinion about personality theories and classifications B use biology archaeology and sociology to study personality theories C have abandoned Hippocrates fluid theory entirely D all agree that human beings are characterized with complex personalities 66 According to this passage the factors which are still NOT used to classify personality are A one s born features and needs of love and success B one s height and weight C one s hobbies and ideals D the environment and intelligence Section B Directions You should answer Questions 67 75 which are based on the following passages Mark your answer on the answer sheet Talking Point Learning a second language fuels children s intelligence and makes their job prospects brighter But the fact is in New Zealand as in many other English speaking countries speakers of two or more languages are in the minority Eighty four per cent of New Zealanders are monolingual speakers of only one language This leaves a small number who claim to speak two or more languages a small percentage of whom were born in New Zealand No matter how proud people arc of their cultural roots to speak anything other than English is a marker of difference here That s why eight year old Tiffany Dvorak no longer wishes to speak her mother tongue German and eight year old Ani Powell is embarrassed when people comment on the fact that she is able to speak Maori 新西兰毛利人的毛利语 As Joanne Powell Ani s mother points out In Europe it s not unusual for kids to be bilingual But if you speak another language to your children in New Zealand there are some people who think that you are not helping them to become a member of society But in fact the general agreement among experts is that learning a second language is good for children Experts believe that bilinguals people who speak two languages have a clear learning advantage over their monolingual schoolmates This depends on how much of each language they can speak not on which language is used so it doesn t matter whether they arc learning Maori or German or Chinese or any other language Cathie Elder a professor of Language Teaching and Learning at Auckland University says A lot of studies have shown that children who speak more than one language sometimes learn one language more slowly but in the end they do as well as their monolingual schoolmates and often better in other subjects The view is that there is an improvement in general intelligence from the effort of learning another language Dr Brigitte Halford a professor of linguistics at Freiburg University in Germany agrees Bilinguals lend to use language better as a whole she says They also display greater creativity and problem solving ability and they learn further languages more easily So with all of the benefits why do we not show more enthusiasm for learning other languages Parents and teachers involved in bilingual education say pressure from friends at school general attitudes to other languages in English speaking countries and problems in the school system arc to blame In New Zealand immigrants face the possibility of culture being lost along with the language their children no longer wish to speak Tiffany s mother Susanne Dvorak has experienced this When she and husband Dieter left Germany six years ago to start up a new life in New Zealand they thought it would be the perfect opportunity to raise their two year old as a bilingual After all bilingual Turkish families in Germany were normal and Susanne had read all the books she could find on the subject The idea was to have home as a German language environment and for Tiffany to learn English at nursery school But when Tiffany went to nursery school she stopped talking completely She was quiet for about two or three months Then when she took up talking again it was only in English Concerned for her language development Dieter started speaking English to his daughter while Susanne continued in German Today when Susanne speaks to her daughter in German she still answers in English Or sometimes she speaks half and half I checked with her teacher and she very seldom
