Men and women often do things in different ways. Scientists are curious to know the reasons. Through some research on the human brain, they’ve discovered some interesting facts.
Generally, women’s brains make them notice and remember details (细节) more easily. They are more likely to think back to the smell in a room, the sound of a song, or the little things they see during the day. For example, a woman might easily remember what her friend wore last week. However, men’s brains are more focused on the task at hand. A man will pay more attention to a single job until it’s fully finished. He might work on fixing a car without being influenced by other things.
These different thinking patterns also influence how they view their lives. Women usually see all sides of their lives as connected. If they have a bad day at work, it might influence their mood at home. However, men usually see each part of their lives, like work, hobbies, and family, as separate (独立的) pieces.
In a team, men and women contribute (贡献) differently. Women are more likely to share ideas and build good relationships among team members. Men, on the other hand, prefer to arrange tasks and make everyone work effectively (有效地).
Although men and women have their differences, both ways of thinking are important. They help us solve different problems and answer all kinds of questions in life.
1．What does the underlined word “curious” mean in Paragraph 1
A．Interested. B．Happy. C．Surprised. D．Angry.
2．What do men usually do in group tasks
A．Share their ideas. B．Build good relationships.
C．Finish tasks with the least time. D．Hand out tasks and ensure good work.
3．What can we infer from the passage
A．Men’s way of thinking is better than women’s.
B．Women’s way of thinking suits family problems.
C．We need both men’s and women’s ways of thinking to live better.
D．Men and women can’t work together well because of their different thinking.
4．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the text
A．To show men and women are totally different.
B．To explain why men and women think differently.
C．To encourage men and women to learn from each other.
D．To show the thinking differences between men and women.

Unluckily Nick still lost the game. This time Nick had no excuses. He lowered his head and planned to leave. However, Jack went over to him and said, “Do not be sad!

Do you know E-person and I-person These two kinds of personalities are much discussed online. Even twins may be quite different from each other, such as personalities, hobbies, friends and etc. To learn more about that, let’s hear from the following twins.
Andy, an Extrovert
I enjoy trying new things and playing with many friends. Ken and I head to the beach on Saturdays to surf, and on Sundays, I hang out with Tom, eating and riding. At school, Larry is my best friend. I don’t spend much time with him over the weekends because he likes to play video games at home just by himself. I’m cool with it because I can visit other friends. I value (重视) his friendship a lot because Larry cares about me and often gives great advice to my problems.
Anna, an Introvert
I think nothing is more enjoyable than staying on sofa by myself with a great book in hand. However, I do also need time with my two best friends, Sue and Tina. Sue is so full of life that her jokes bring much joy to my quiet days. Tina is more like me, and she understands me better than I do. We often take a long walk to share our feelings.

Lecomte likes taking photos wherever he goes. Up till now he has taken more than 118,000 photos in China. Now, he shares these photos on Chinese social media.

In families with many children, the oldest, middle and youngest children are often very different. Studies show that many first-born children are more hard-working and more serious than their brothers and sisters. 1 . They work hard to please their parents.
The youngest is always the parents’ “baby”, so the youngest is usually more outgoing and funnier than the other children. The youngest child is also usually the most spoiled (惯坏的) of all the children in the family. There is a common joke that all salespeople are the youngest in their families, 2 .
3 . Many middle children are good at making peace between people, because they have to learn how to live with the very different personalities of the youngest and the oldest. Middle children sometimes feel unhappy, because they feel that the hard-working oldest child and the outgoing youngest child get most of their parents’ attention. 4 , because they are used to thinking for themselves and choosing their own way.
However, I think no matter when a person is born, everyone can choose his or her own path in life. Everyone can choose to make his or her good qualities stronger and bad qualities weaker. 5 .
A．Middle children are often quicker and more thoughtful than the oldest and youngest
B．so they can sell everything easily
C．The order of birth does not decide anyone’s life
D．The order of birth can affect (影响) a person’s whole life
E．because they are good at convincing (说服) others to do what they want
F．They are more interested in following rules
G．But middle children very often grow up to do very unusual and great things

Sadly, I found out that all of my close friends were not in my new class. And my new classmates were quite different from my old ones. 2 They also weren’t in the school activities I was in. I couldn’t find common interests with them.
3 I also began to envy (嫉妒) people in other classes. Why could they be with all their friends But then I found out, they didn’t have many friends at first. 4 They seemed very happy with their new friends.
5 I found out that the people with many friends were very active. They often talked to others first, while I was too afraid to talk to others, and hoped other people would talk to me first.

Sherlock Holmes was an INTP. Ernest Hemingway was an ESTP. Michael Jackson was an ISFP…
What do these four-lettered words mean Well, if you have heard of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), you might know them. With 93 questions, the test groups all of the different people in the world into 16 personality tests in the world, but the MBTI is perhaps the most popular one. More than 1.5 million people take it every year.
However, the MBTI is not an accurate (精准的) way to find something as changeable as a person’s personality. Its creators, Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs-Myers, were not trained psychologists (心理学家). What’s more, the two were unable to scientifically prove (证明) their findings.
Then how has this test become so popular To answer this question, we need to find out what drove Briggs and Briggs-Myers to create it. Briggs was a mother. After reading Carl Jung’s Psychological Types, she decided to create a tool to help parents understand their children’s interests. Briggs-Myers continued to work on the MBTI in the 1940s. Traditional personality tests would divide people into two simple groups: those who were good and those who were bad. The woman wanted everyone to be able to understand her test, while people may be different from one another, they are all created equal (生而平等). This perhaps holds the key to the MBTI’s success: The test never judges personalities negatively (负面地).
The MBTI may not be the best way for checking one’s personality, but this doesn’t mean it’s totally useless. Many people are hungry for self-knowledge. The MBTI just offers that knowledge in a painless way.
1．According to the MBTI, how many personality types are there in the world
2．What was the relationship between the two creators of the MBTI
3．Why did Katharine Briggs decide to create the MBTI
4．What’s the key to the MBTI’s success
5．In your opinion, how can MBTI help us in our daily life

How to have good friends Here are some tips for you.
Choosing Friends
Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends with the same interests. But that doesn’t mean you have to be like each other. It’s OK if you enjoy some of the same things.
Making Friends
●The quickest way to make friends is to smile. Remember that most people hate an angry face.
●One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice. For example, you could talk about a great answer to a teacher’s question and so on.
● Ask your new friends questions about themselves. “Who’s your favourite singer Where do you live What do you do after school ” are all good questions.
Having Activities Together
It’s always fun to play your favourite activities with your friends together. For example, inviting a friend to your house is a great way to make your friendship closer. Make sure the activities can be done together. You may both love playing computer games, but if one person is playing and the other has nothing to do but watch, that will be boring.
Friendship is an important part in our life, for friends make us happy and support us through hard times. If you are still waiting for your “friends”, start with the tips above.
1．What kind of friends do most people want to have
2．What is the quickest way to make friends
3．How many ways of making friends are mentioned in the passage
4．How can you make the friendship between you and your friend closer
5．Why is friendship an important part in our life
