In the normal walk of life, we come across people who are more popular than others. Popularity is a subjective phenomenon and many a sociologist is still trying to figure out what makes for popularity. A person with a bright personality is usually more popular than a person with a dull personality, right? Beautiful people are usually more popular than ugly people, right? Actually, it's hard to pinpoint (确定) what kind of personality is popular and what is unpopular.
Behavior. can be described as the manifestation of personality in response to a situation. No two persons will react to the same situation in the same manner. This is because of the person's personality. Let's take the example of an introvert and an extrovert. We shall create a situation to study how they behave in the same environment. The introvert and the extrovert are placed into two identical rooms at the same time. Every effort is taken to ensure that the environment is the same. They are told to read a book in 2 hours. Then, we ask a group of hooligans (小流氓) to go into the rooms and beat the rooms. How do you think the introvert and the extrovert will behave in such an environment? We don't know but we know they will behave differently.
Are you satisfied with how your career is turning out? You may not consciously know it but your personality has a great bearing of your job performance. If you are extremely shy and hate to socialize, you are not cut for a sales job or a PR(公共关系)position. You may try to change your ways and take on a more outgoing style. but you may not be happy. There are some personality characters which are inherent. If you know yourself well, you will find a career that suits your personality and excel in it.
We may infer from the first paragraph that______.
A.we have to face the world with masks
B.personality can be shown through one's actions
C.people's personalities are all fixed through their life
D.people's personalities are totally different from each other
All informed predictions of future performance are based upon some knowledge of relevant past performance. How well the predictions will be validated by later performance depends up on the amount, reliability and appropriateness of the information used and on the skill and wisdom with which it is interpreted. Anyone who keeps careful score knows that the information available is always incomplete and that the predictions are always subject to error.
Standardized tests should be considered in this context: they provide a quick, objective method of getting some kind of information about what a person has learned, the skills he has developed, or the kind of person he is. The information so obtained has, qualitatively, the same advantages and shortcomings as other kinds of information~ Whether to use tests; other kinds of information, or both in a particular situation depends, therefore, upon the empirical evidence concerning comparative validity and upon such factors as cost and availability.
In general, the tests work most effectively when the traits or qualities to be measured can be most precisely defined(for example, ability to do well in a particular course of training pro gram)and least effectively when what is to be measured of predicted cannot be well defined, for example, personality or creativity. Properly used, they provide a rapid means of getting comparable information about many people~ Sometimes they identify students whose high potential has not been previously recognized.
In this passage, the author is primarily concerned with ______.
A.the necessity of standardized tests
B.the validity of standardized tests
C.the method used in interpreting the results of standardized tests
D.the theoretical grounds of standardized tests
W: What do you want to know?
M: Well, I met a really nice woman, Linda, through an online music mailing list, you know, a discussion group on the Internet. I need some advice. You see, she invited me to spend two weeks in Germany. And well, I told her I had studied a little bit about the country and language, and she's kind of expecting that I know more than I really do.
W: Hum, you are really in trouble now! What do you want to know?
M: Well, she is planning on introducing me to her parents.
W: Hey. Sounds kind of serious.
M: It isn't, at least I think it isn't. Anyway, what should you do when you greet someone for the first time in Germany?
W: Well, it depends upon your relationship with the person. If you're meeting someone formally for the first time, you should make sure you arrive on time.
M: Okay. What about common greetings?
W: Germans often shake hands, and use the person's family name, unless they're really close friends.
M: What about with Linda? I'm not sure what I should do in her case.
W: You can call her Linda, shake hands, and why not take her some flowers?
M: Oh, how do you say "Nice to meet you" in German anyway?
W: Honestly, I think you need to take an intensive course in the German language before you leave. Otherwise, Linda might think you're speaking Japanese or something!
