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.
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.
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.”
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 in to a type that they aren't really suited for.”
Our interest in 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.
1．The Myers Briggs Type Indicator is based on the belief that ________.
A．personality is largely decided from birth
B．certain personality traits are common
C．some personality types are better than others
D．personality traits are various from time to time
2．According to Dr.Gill, what is the problem with personality tests
A．The results could be opposite to what employers want.
B．People can easily lie about their true abilities.
C．Employers often find the results unclear.
D．They may have a negative effect on takers.
3．In Dr.Gill's view, how easy is it to change your personality
A．It's possible in your adult life.
B．It's easy if you have great motivation.
C．It's unlikely because it requires much energy.
D．It's difficult before the age of 21.
4．What final conclusion does the author reach about the value of personality tests
A．They are of doubtful value to employers.
B．They are not really worth doing.
C．They can strengthen the idea we have of our abilities.
D．They may encourage greater realism.

Around the world，music therapy (疗法) is being used to treat different medical conditions and illnesses.Some of the ways people use music therapy are to reduce pain, such as in childbirth or during cancer treatments, or to stimulate brain activity after an injury.Music therapy has also been successful in aiding children to overcome disabilities.Children can move their bodies with the music and stamp along to the beat.
Why is music a useful therapy Being comforting and relaxing，music stimulates our brains.We respond to the sounds of music emotionally and physically.The complexity of music (the different tempos, rhythms，melodies and harmonies) provokes (激发)the biggest response.Thus, classical music is most typically used for therapies due to complex sounds and patterns.Although rap or hip hop might be fun to listen to, it's unlikely that such styles of music would produce the same kind of therapeutic effect.Playing a musical instrument rather than simply listening to music can also be therapeutic for some people，helping relieve stress and anxiety.
Have scientists been able to prove that music can heal diseases Music has been shown to reduce pain by increasing the release of endorphins (内啡肽)．Endorphins are the body's natural painkillers, and when we listen to music, our brains respond by releasing these natural painkillers.It has also been known to contribute to the brain development of the babies who have just been born and even babies still in the mother's womb.Certain types of music have also been found to lower blood pressure and slow a person's heart rate.Many people are hopeful that music could replace the need for some medicines that are normally used to treat certain illnesses.At present, music therapy is used in a variety of settings such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, day cares, and schools.
Although music therapy is not yet considered a mainstream treatment, it is recognized more and more as a useful addition to traditional treatment.So next time you are feeling low or stressed out, put on some relaxing music and let the music heal you.
