Wonder why you can get angry so easily while your friend smiles all the time? It’s probably because you both have different personalities(個性).

Personality is also about how people think, behave, and react (反應) to everything around them from day to day.

So what makes people think and behave in certain ways?

Part of the reason is that people are born like this. A baby gets its blood type, genes (基因) and other physical things when it’s still inside its mother. These things may help decide what the baby will be like.

But one’s personality doesn’t stop here. Family life, school learning and life experiences can also make you the person you are. This doesn’t mean it’s impossible to change your personality. You can always try to make yourself better. Don’t get too worried about your shortcomings (缺點). Just accept them. This is a good way to start making changes.

If you don’t know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because you’re too shy? Tell yourself to smile at people. Start talking to people using warm greetings.

Don’t give yourself a hard time about it all. It’s not easy to change lifelong habits in one night. Keep working at it. One day you’ll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new you!

1.Personality is about the following except        .

A．how you behave

B．what you look like

C．how you react to something

D．how you think about something

2.We know that         from the passage.

A．people are born the way they’ll always be

B．a(chǎn) person can try to change his/her personality

C．personality decides what a person looks like

D．blood type decides what a person will be like

3.From the last two paragraphs, we learn that         .

A．a(chǎn) shy person can’t make many friends

B．you can work hard to improve yourself

C．everyone can change him- or herself in life

D．there is no way to change your lifelong habits

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing(縫紉)or reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”

You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you.
It’s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 Players when read books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.
