　　Finding the Real You

　　Psychometric testing—personality testing—has been very popular nowadays as studies show their results to be three times more accurate in predicting your job performance. These tests are now included in almost all graduate recruitment (招聘) and are widely used in the selection of managers.

学习啦在线学习网　　The most popular of these personality tests is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). It is based on the theory that we are born with a tendency to one personality type which stays more or less fixed throughout life. You answer 88 questions and are then given your “type”, such as Outgoing or Quiet, Feeling or Thinking.

学习啦在线学习网　　Critics of personality testing raise doubts about “social engineering”. Psychologist Dr. Colin Gill warns that the “popular” personality traits (特性) have their disadvantages. “People who are extremely open to new experiences can be butterflies, going from one idea to the next without mastering any of them.” However, the psychometric test is here to stay, which may be why a whole sub-industry on cheating personality tests has sprung up. “It’s possible to cheat,” admits Gill, “but having to pretend to be the person you are at work will be tiring and unhappy and probably short-lived.”

学习啦在线学习网　　So can we change our personality? “Your basic personality is fixed by the time you’re 21,”says Gill,“but it can be affected by motivation and intelligence. If you didn’t have the personality type to be a doctor but desperately wanted to be one and were intelligent enough to master the skills, you could still go ahead. But trying to go too much against type for too long requires much energy and is actually to be suffered for long. I think it’s why we’re seeing this trend for downshifting—too many people trying to fit into a type that they aren’t really suited for.”

　　Our interesting personality now exists in every part of our lives. If you ask an expert for advice on anything, you’ll probably be quizzed about your personality. But if personality tests have any value to us, perhaps it is to free us from the idea that all of us are full of potential, and remind us of what we are. As they say in one test when they ask for your age: pick the one you are, not the one you wish you were.

　　How northern Europeans beat the winter blues

　　Ask a child from northern Europe to draw two pictures—one on a rainy day and a second in the sunshine—and this is what you will get: in the first, as raindrops fall from the top of the page, the man behind the window has an unhappy expression. When a yellow sun sends out some light from the corner, the man is smiling.

　　Northern Europeans associate rain with sadness and sunshine with happiness. They think this is true because they are so aware of how their environment affects them. ___71___In October 2008, a group of researchers examined the influence of different daily weather factors, including temperature, wind and sunlight, on 1,200 participants. The conclusion was that good or bad weather had little effect on people’s feelings.___72___ A person who is upset on dark or cold days suffers from a negative mood(情绪), and he will be likely to experience a sad winter. This is the basis of an illness called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). ___73___

　　Ani Kalayjian, professor of psychology at Fordham University, advises that we should take steps to strengthen the brain’s system against weather-driven mood changes. Research on SAD has been focused on the brain’s response to darkness and light. When our eyes detect darkness, the brain gives off melatonin, which starts sleep cycles. ___74___It takes over to help us wake up and feel better when we detect light. “We can encourage people to take charge of their feelings,” says Kalayjian. “We tell them to leave the computers and the indoor games and get out there in the sun. ___75___”

　　A day of rain can potentially destroy your plan and affect your mood. But as the Scottish comedian Billy Connolly once said: “There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing.”

学习啦在线学习网　　A. Yet that link has no scientific basis.

学习啦在线学习网　　B. It is seriously doubted among the people who suffer from SAD.

　　C. It affects about10% of the population of northern Europe each year.

学习啦在线学习网　　D. Another chemical called serotonin, however, can make people happy.

　　E. That’s when people can recharge their serotonin and get a better mood.

　　F.Most studies prove that a negative feeling is associated with bad weather.

　　G. They determined that people actually differ in their sensitivity to weather changes.

　　My experience in London

　　Last winter vacation, my classmates and I went to London to attend a winter camp.

　　To better understand the history and culture of the city, we scheduled a “museum trip”. On Saturday morning we got up early and studied the map carefully to work out the route. One of my classmates suggested going there by bus to enjoy the street view. It was a long ride, so when we got off the double-decker bus, we seemed to lose our way. The streets looked busy and strange, and we had to ask a passerby for help. She pointed out the right direction and wished us a good day. Thanks to the friendly woman, we finally got to our destination.

　　It took us some effort, but we witnessed the real beauty of the city. The experience also enabled us to practice our English. What a terrific experience!
