A
It’s no secret that your
personal characteristics directly affect how you
interact with the
world
-
but you might be
surprised at just how deep it goes.
Experts
think
that
your
personality
can
even
affect
how
you
exercise
and
influence what sports are suitable for
you.
Highly Sensitive
Highly
sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with
group exercise
classes or team sports
where they feel their every move is being
observed.
Additionally, they may feel
more upset over an ineffective or poor workout,
says researcher Elaine Aron.
For
such
people,
individual
or
non-competitive
activities
like
biking,
running and hiking are ideal.
Type A Personality
Type A
individuals often have an “all or nothing
approach” to exercise.
This
personality
type
is
known
for
sticking
closely
to
their
plan,
not
to
mention
being super competitive. However, this can cause
them to stick too
closely
to
a
fitness
routine,
which
means
they
might
try
to
push
past
an
injury.
To
get
better
exercise
results,
Type
A
people
need
to
be
aware
that
following an exercise plan too strictly
may limit their progress. They should
be more flexible and listen to their
body, especially when they are in pain.
Type B Personality
This
laid-back group may get too lazy about their
exercise plan, which
prevents
them
from
seeing
results.
They
are
often
less
willing
to
devote
enough
time
and
energy
to
their
fitness
goals,
especially
if
exercise
is
something that makes them anxious.
Type B individuals succeed in creative
and co-operative
environments,
so team sports and group gym classes
may be perfect.
Remember, there are
plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to
suit
your needs, regardless of your
characteristics. Just keep in mind what you
like.
21. Type B
personalities can be best described as ______.
A. committed
and lazy
B. flexible and cooperative
C. Independent and flexible
D. lazy and cooperative
22. What matters most when you interact
with the world?
ation
B.
interest
C. independence
ivity

23. What is the title of
the text?
A. Personality determines
your interaction with the world.
B.
Personality determines your interest.
C. Characteristics directly affect your
creativity.
D. Characteristics directly
affect your cooperation.

At
first
sight,
Alma
Deutscher,
a
twelve-year-old
girl
from
England
appears to be like any other typical
pre-teen. She loves to skip rope, read and
play with her younger sister. But this
modest youngster, who composed her
first
musical
work
at
age
six,
first
short
opera
at
age
seven,
and
first
full-length
opera
based
on
Cinderella
at
age
ten,
is
anything
but
average.
Though her parents downplay her
extraordinary talent, young Alma is being
described as “little Mozart” by the
music world
.
Alma’s operatic
take on the classic
fairy tale, which
she began writing at
age
eight,
has
a
slight
twist.
Her
Cinderella
is
a
musician
who
meets
her
Prince
Charming through a song. “In my
Cinderella
, she sings the
beginning
of a ballad --- but at
midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds
her after
asking all the maidens of the
land to sing the end of the ballad.”
The
opera
was
first
performed
in
Vienna,
Australia
on
December
29,
2016, where the then eleven-year-old
skillfully switched between the piano
and the violin and receives
enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since
performed two new piano works, one in
Australia and the other in China.
While
this
may
appear
to be
a lot
for
someone so
young,
Alma
is not
worried. She says,
“Of course I have to work hard. But all children
hav
e to
work
hard
for
exams,
and
at
least
when
I
work
hard,
I
work
hard
for
something incredibly
exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on
stage”.
Alma’s musical
talent first came to light before she could even
talk. Her
parents recall that as an
18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch
perfect version of the children’s rhyme
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
However,
Alma’s
abilities
only
gained
international
attention
in
2012,
after
a
family
friend
posted
a
video
online
comparing
her
to
Mozart.
The
family was suddenly
swamped with media requested and Alma became an
overnight
star,
dubbed
“little
Mozart”.
This
nickname
makes
her
parents
unhappy because they believe it puts
added pressure on the young girl. They
would instead prefer her to be called
“a composer and musician”.
Alma does not want to be compared to
the famous artist either, saying,
“There was only one Mozart, and I
prefer to be little Alma.” Regardless of
2
what she calls herself, the twelve-
year-old is changing the world of music
forever!
24. Which words can
best describe Alma Deutscher?
A. Lucky and hard-working.
B. Talented and productive.
C. Fortunate and average.
D. Creative and cooperative.
25. What
’
s the
meaning of underline word
“
tw
ist
”?
A. unexpected luck.
pment .
C. ups and downs.
D.
frustration.
26. Which nickname does
Alma like best?
A. The young genius.
B. Little
Mozart.
C. Little Alam.
D. A composer
and musician.
27. What’
s
Alma’s parents
attitude
toward Alma?
A. approving.
B. objective.
C.
indifferent.
D.
disapproving.

The
belief
that
new
technologies
are
causing
the
death
of
work
is
the
idea
that
never goes away.
Despite
evidence
to
the
contrary,
we
still view
technological
change
today
as
being
more
rapid
and
dramatic
in
its
consequences
for
work
than
ever
before.
But
this
is
nothing
new.
People
have
always viewed the technological changes that take
place during their
lives as the most
dramatic and dangerous that ever have happened in
history.
In the 1930s, the
British economist John Maynard Keynes predicted
the
widespread
use
of
electricity
would
produce
a
world
where
people
spend
most
of their time doing nothing. In the United States
during the 1960s, the
government
repeatedly
investigated
fears
that
automatic
machines
would
permanently reduce the
amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian
historian claimed that at least a
quarter of the workforce would be without
jobs within 10 years because of
computers.
Of course, none
of these disasters came to pass in the United
Kingdom,
the United States and
Australia, or anywhere else.
Yet
today,
we
are
seeing
the
return
of
these
predictions,
with
some
experts
claiming
the
world
of
work
is
once
more
undergoing
radical
and
unprecedented
change.
They
argue
that
robots
and
other
workplace
technologies are
causing a reduction in the total amount of work
available,
or
are
bringing
a
more
rapid
pace
of
substitution of
machines
for
humans
than has been seen
previously.
But there is a
little evidence to support such beliefs.
Statistics show that
3
the percentage of people in
work, the number of hours they work, and how
frequently
they
change
jobs
have
remained
remarkably
constant
over
the
past 20 years.
This stability should not come as a
surprise. There are good reasons why
we
should
not
expect
new
technologies
to
cause
the
death
of
work.
New
technologies always
cause job losses, but that is only part of the
story. What
also
needs
to
be
understood
is
how
they
increase
the
amount
of
work
available.
One
way
this
happens
is
through
the
increases
in
incomes
that
accompany
the
use
of
new
technologies.
With
the
introduction
of
these
technologies,
goods
and
services
can
be
produced
faster,
which
results
in
higher real incomes for workers. Higher
incomes then increase demand for
other
products
and
consequently
more
workers
are
needed
to
make
them.
Additionally, while
new technologies are likely to substitute for some
types
of
workers,
they
will
also
increase
demand
for
other
types
of
workers,
especially those with higher level
skills and expertise.
So, the end of
work is no closer today than at any time in the
past. But
there
is
still
a
need
to
keep
disproving
the
prediction,
to
reduce
people's
fears.

might

technology?

Increase demand for other products

Decrease demand of workers
