新趋势创新设问 What is personality?
　　Personality is the pattern(模式) of ________, thoughts and behaviour(行为) shown through people's lives. It makes them different from others.
　　Each person's personality is made up of different personality characters such as kindness or shyness. These characters decide how people behave in different situations. For example, if someone shy is served the wrong meal in a restaurant,　he or she probably won't say anything. On the other hand, someone outgoing will probably complain and get the meal he or she ordered.
　　The human brain is like a computer because it controls the human body just as a computer controls a robot.
　　However, humans aren't robots! We have personalities. The human brain has a special part giving us personality and allowing us to think for ourselves, unlike a computer. This part of the brain is called the mind.
　　Personality types
　　Clearly scientists can not study the mind by looking inside someone's brain! All they would see is blood and gray matter. To study the mind, scientists have to study human behaviour. This includes watching people carefully and carrying out personality tests like this one:
　　1. Do you think you're pretty or good - looking?
　　2. Would you rather read a book or go to a party?
　　3. Do you have a large group of friends or just one or two close friends?
　　4. Do you mind talking in public or does it scare you?
　　5. Are you messy or neat?
　　6. Do you plan your work well or do you do things at the last minute?
　　Scientists believe that answers to these types of questions tell us something about a person's personality characters. After asking thousands of people thousands of questions, they've found that seem, personality, together, some, characters, to, go. This has led scientists to believe that there are certain personality types. For example, shy people are often quiet. They have an introverted(内向的) personality type. The opposite is an extroverted(外向的) personality type—people who are outgoing, talkative and like being around other people.
　　1. Personality is the pattern of ________, thoughts and behaviour shown through people's lives.

答案： Ⅵ.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍什么是性格，以及性格类型。
1. B 推理判断题。根据“What is personality?”下面的“Each person's personality is made up of different personality characters such as kindness or shyness.”可知，每个人的性格都是由不同的性格特征组成的，如善良或害羞，所以此处指情感。故选 B。
2. C 段落大意题。根据第二部分中的“We have personalities. The human brain has a special part giving us personality and allowing us to think for ourselves, unlike a computer. This part of the brain is called the mind.”可知，我们都有性格，人脑有一个特殊的部分，赋予我们性格，让我们独立思考，不像一台电脑，大脑的这一部分叫做思想，所以推断该部分主要讲述的是性格从何而来。故选 C。
3. By watching people carefully and carrying out personality tests.
4. some personality characters seem to go together
5. I am an extroverted person because I like being around others.（言之有理即可）
