Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you. Highly SensitiveHighly 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 Type A A PersonalityPersonality - 2 - 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 Type B B PersonalityPersonality 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. Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports? A. They will feel like they are being evaluated. B. They don't like socialising with other people. C. They don't consider themselves to be athletic. D. They fear they'll be let down by their teammates. 22. Type A personalities can be best described as _. A. committed B flexible C independent D. sensitive 23. What is the purpose of the text? A. To help people understand what personality type they are. B. To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habits. C. To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exercise. D. To describe different types of workouts that are available today. B B 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. Almas 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.” - 3 - 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, once 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 have 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. Almas 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 childrens rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. However, Almas 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 requests 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 what she calls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever! 24. What do we know about Alma Deutscher? A. She comes from a famous musical family. B. She has shown great musical talent from a young age. C. She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart. D. She has adapted some famous works of classical music. 25. How did Alma get to be widely known? A. Through an online video B. By performing on television C. By putting on an opera D. Through her parents promotion 26. What is Almas attitude towards her success? A. She is still unsatisfied with her performance. B. She is uncomfortable with so much pressure. C. She is modest about her musical achievements D. She is proud to have become a professional musician. 27. What can we infer about Almas parents? A. They are very well-educated people. B. They are protective of their daughter. C. They have pushed Alma to take up music. D. They have made a good life plan for Alma. C C - 4 - Scientists have identified the order of the gene of the giraffe for the first time to help explain how the tallest animals on earth developed their remarkably long necks. Being a giraffe is not easy. To pump blood two meters up from the chest to the brain calls for a powerful heart and twice the blood pressure of other mammals. Giraffes also need special safety system to let them bend down for a drink and raise their heads again without feeling dizzy. The animals' unique body structure has long been a puzzle for biologists, including Charles Darwin. Now, by comparing the gene of the giraffe with its closest relative, the short-necked okapi, scientists have solved part of the puzzle by studying changes in a small number of genes responsible both for regulating body shape and circulation. This suggests that the development of a long neck and a powerful heart went hand in hand, driven by a relatively small number of genetic changes. The interpretation of the genetic factors behind the giraffe's remarkable heart system could also be instructive for human health, since the animals appear to avoid the kind of organ damage often found in people with high blood pressure. The more fundamental question of why giraffes developed their long necks remains open, however. The apparently self-evident idea that it was to reach ever-higher food supplies has been challenged in the past 20 years by a competing belief that it is actually due to competition among fighting males for females. Unlike long-necked birds, which have additional vertebrae (椎骨), giraffes have the same seven vertebrae found in all mammals, although theirs are greatly extended. 28. A strong heart is very important for a giraffe because it_. A. pumps blood to the brain high above its body B. keeps the blood pressure at a normal level C. helps the giraffe find a drink at lower places D. keeps the giraffe safe in different environments 29. Scientists compare the gene of the giraffe and the short-necked okapi because the latter_. A. has a quite special body structure B. is a puzzle worth further study C. is in the same family as the giraffe D. has gone through few genetic changes 30. Which possibly caused the giraffe to develop a long neck? A. Its favorite food at high places. B. Its attempts to attract females. C. Its need to avoid organ damage. D. Its greatly-extended vertebrae. 31. What's the author's purpose of writing this passage? A. To introduce a new finding of science. B. To explain genetic changes in animals. C. To describe giraffes body structure. - 5 -
