A
Throughout all the events in my life，one in particular sticks out more than the others.As I
reflect on this significant event，a smile spreads across my face.As I think of Shanda，I feel loved
and grateful.
It was my twelfth year of dancing，I thought it would end up like any other year：stuck in
emptiness，forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential
to achieve greatness.
However，I met Shanda，a young，talented choreographer(编舞者)．She influenced me to
work to the best of my ability，pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up，encouraged
me and showed me the real importance of dancing.Throughout our hard work，not only did my
ability to dance grow，but my friendship with Shanda grew as well.
With the end of the year came our show time.As I walked to a backstage filled with other
dancers，I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement.I waited anxiously for
my turn.Finally，after what seemed like days，the loudspeaker announced my name.Butterflies
filled my stomach as I took trembling steps onto the big lighted stage.But，with the determination
to succeed and eagerness to live up to Shanda’s expectations for me，I began to dance.All my
troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out.
As I walked up to the judge to receive my first-place shining，gold trophy(奖杯)，I realized
that dance is not about becoming the best.It is about loving dance for dance itself，a getaway from
all my problems in the world.Shanda showed me that you could let everything go and just dance
what you feel at that moment.After all the doubts that people had in me，I believed in myself and
did not care what others thought.Thanks to Shanda，dance became more than a love of mine，but
a passion.

Are you a good judge of character？Can you make an accurate judgement of someone’s
personality based only on your first impression of them？Interestingly，the answer lies as much in
them as it does in you.
One of the first people to try to identify good judges of character was US psychologist Henry
F Adams in 1927.His research led him to conclude that people fell into two groups—good judges of
themselves and good judges of others.Adams’s research has been widely criticized since then，
but he wasn’t entirely wrong about there being two clearly different types.
More on that in a moment，but first we need to define what a good judge of character is.Is it
someone who can read personality or someone who can read emotion？Those are two different
skills.Emotions such as anger or joy or sadness can generate easily identifiable physical signs.Most
of us would probably be able to accurately identify these signs，even in a stranger.As such，most
of us are probably good judges of emotion.
In order to be a good judge of personality，however，there needs to be an interaction with
the other person，and that person needs to be a “good target”．“Good targets” are people
who reveal relevant and useful signals to their personality.So this means “the good judge” will
only manifest when reading “good targets”．This is according to Rogers and Biesanz in their
2019 journal entitled “Reassessing the good judge of personality”．“We found consistent，
clear and strong evidence that the good judge does exist，” Rogers and Biesanz concluded.But
their key finding is that the good judge does not have magical gifts of perception—they are simply
able to “detect and use the information provided by the good target”．
So，are first impressions really accurate？Well，if you’re a good judge talking to a “good
target”，then it seems the answer is “yes”．And now we know that good judges probably do
exist，more research can be done into how they read personality，what kind of people they are—
and whether their skills can be taught.
5．What can we learn about Adams from paragraph 2?
A．He is a good judge of character.
B．He divided psychologists into two groups.
C．His research result has been widely accepted.
D．His research on good judges was partially right.
6．What does the author think of emotion reading?
A．Annoying. B．Joyful. C．Simple. D．Strange.
7.Which of the following would Rogers and Biesanz agree with?
A．A good target is necessary for personality judgement.
B．A good target needs to get his personality reassessed.C．A good judge can provide useful signals to our personality.
D．It’s possible to be a good judge just by looking at the other person.
8．What does the author think future research should focus on?
A．The skills of good communication. B．The features of good judges.
C．The ways to read personality. D．The accuracy of first impressions.

Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object—the book，
represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world.The image of
the reader appears throughout history，in art made long before books as we now know them came
into being.In artists’ representations of books and reading，we see moments of shared humanity
that go beyond culture and time.
In this “book of books”，artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes
these connections between different eras and cultures.We see scenes of children learning to read at
home or at school，with the book as a focus for relations between the generations.Adults are
portrayed(描绘) alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume，deep in thought or lost
in a moment of leisure.These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago，but they
record moments we can all relate to.
Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect(才智)，
wealth or faith of the subject.Before the wide use of the printing press，books were treasured
objects and could be works of art in their own right.More recently，as books have become
inexpensive or even throwaway，artists have used them as the raw material for artworks—
transforming covers，pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.
Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the
printed page outdated.From a 21st-century point of view，the printed book is certainly ancient，
but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader.To serve its function，a book must be
activated by a user: the cover opened，the pages parted，the contents reviewed，perhaps notes
written down or words underlined.And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the
information we consume is monitored and tracked，a printed book still offers the chance of a
wholly private，“off-line” activity.
9．Where is the text most probably taken from?
A．An introduction to a book. B．An essay on the art of writing.
C．A guidebook to a museum. D．A review of modern paintings.
10．What are the selected artworks about?
A．Wealth and intellect. B．Home and school.
C．Books and reading. D．Work and leisure.
11．What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Understand. B．Paint. C．Seize. D．Transform.
12．What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader?
A．The printed book is not totally out of date.
B．Technology has changed the way we read.
C．Our lives in the 21st century are networked.
D．People now rarely have the patience to read.
