Usually you need to get to know a person well enough before you can discover the full depth that persons personality. Explaining why personalities develop as they do is not easy. That is because two influences are at work: heredity and environment. And no one knows which one has the greater effect, in fact the combination of these influences may not be the same for every person. Heredity is the set of characteristics that you inherit from your parents and ancestors. “Hes just like his father, ”Mrs. Miller always says about her son Tod, now 17. Since Tods father died when the boy was one year old, heredity explains the resemblances, for evidently, Tod has had no opportunity to learn these traits from his father. Other aspects of personality are shaped by what goes on around a person. Environment-the circumstances, objects and conditions that surround people-also has an impact on personality. This influence is very strong and very complicated. Home life, for example, affects childrens personality as they grow. People who feel loved and secure are likely to develop more positive personality traits than those who are troubled as they grow up. That is why divorce is a harmful social practice that exerts a negative effect on the growth of young children. Personalities make people interesting. We are different due to our personalities. Some personalities are more pleasing than others. What about you? Are you satisfied with your personality? Adolescence (青春期) is a time for personality development. For young university students, shaping your personality as you want it to be may be easier now than later, for you are changing while you are learning. Just as an athlete builds skills you can build the personality you want to have but only if you are determined to do so.16. Peoples behavior may display their personalities _.

A) broken families are likely to develop less desirable personalities B) home life is indispensible (必不可少的) for every young people in personality C) single parent families invariably contribute to the boring personalities D) broken families can not provide love and security for the young children参考答案：A19.

A) an athlete dont need to build their personalities while training B) the college student have to change their personalities while learning C) one can build the personality he wants to have with determination D) the ole people can never adjust their personalities even with determination参考答案：CPassage 2 For a long time people believed that the only way to learn a language was to spend a great deal of time in a country where it was spoken. Of course it is clear that Students who go to England, America, or Australia to learn English have great advantage over others, but a large number of students cannot afford to do so. Some students go to the opposite extreme and think they can teach themselves at home with dictionaries. But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language and vice versa, and it is impossible for any translation method to provide students with natural forms of a language in speech, let alone produce good pronunciation and intonation. Behaviorists are fond of making students repeat phrases and making them do exercises where they continually have to change one word in a sentence. If we were parrots or chimpanzees, these methods might be successful. A large number of theorists seem to think it is a pity we arent, because it would make it easier to use their methods. In my personal opinion, no one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he is interested in it. Human beings, unlike parrots and chimpanzees, do not like making noises unless they understand what the noises mean and relate them to their own lives. It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication. What people want to say and write in another language is probably very similar to what they want to say and write in their own. What they listen to and read cannot be a formula. It must be real.21. In the past it was believed that the only way to learn a language well is to _. A) live in a country where the language is spoken B) wear the clothes of the language-speaking c
