4、阅读理解
Can you change your personality significantly For example, if you are shy, can you turn yourself into an outgoing person who never gets stage fright when speaking in public It's certainly not easy, but experts say it is possible.
First of all, you will never stay the same person. The Times reports several research studies conducted over the past few years. They show a person's personality naturally changes over time in response to life events such as entering a committed relationship or advancing in the career. From the ages of 20 to 65, people report increases in positive characteristics. Most people tend to become more agreeable, more responsible, more emotionally stable. Their personalities improve as they mature.
When researchers talk about “personality”， they mean “characteristic pattern of thinking, feeling and behaving that is consistent over time and across situations，” says Christopher Soto, a research psychologist in Britain, who also mentioned that personality is about 50 percent born and 50 percent learned.
Psychologists usually divide human personality into 5 models: openness, conscientiousness(尽责), agreeableness, neuroticism(神经质) and outgoingness. Some personality types are more successful than others. Accordingly, even small changes in a person's personality can produce important effects on relationships, careers, health and happiness. But change takes time. And people need to start by changing the behavior and then, if that new behavior can be maintained over time, it gets settled.
Where do we start “First, we have to recognize which pieces of our personality affect us，” says Richard Levak, a well known personality expert. “If I am always getting fired because I get into arguments with co workers, and always blame others, then I have to realize that I have to change something.”
“Don't set your expectations too high. Be patient. It's important to start small，” Warren Kennaugh, a behavioral expert in Australia says. “You should also let a friend or relative know what you're doing. Not only can they be supportive, but a change for you can also mean a change for them.”
( )1.From Paragraph 2, we can learn that ．
A．people will always stay the same for the whole life
B．it is impossible to speak in public if you are shy
C．people's personalities will get better as they mature
D．life events are bad for people's personalities

A．People are born with certain personalities which cannot be changed.
B．People should have high expectations when starting changing.
C．A 40 year old man could be more positive than he was 30 years old.
D．It only takes a few days for people to change their personalities.
( )3.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage
A．Learn New Behavior
B．Change Who You Are
C．Try to Be Outgoing
D．Set High Expectations
( )4.What's tone(语气) of the passage
