Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger’s personality simply by looking at the person’s shoes.

“Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers,” the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. “Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal indications with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear.”

Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits detected in the study include a person’s general age, their gender, income, political affiliation(派别), and other personality characteristics, including someone’s emotional stability.

Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someone’s shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study’s participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.

So, what do your shoes say about your personality?

Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts(外向者).

However, some of the more specific results are interesting. For example, “practical and functional” shoes were generally worn by more “agreeable” people, while ankle boots were more closely aligned with “aggressive” personalities.

The strangest of all may be that those who wore “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities.

And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from “attachment anxiety”, spending a large amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance. There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.

The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities.

1.We can infer from Paragraph 2 that___________.

A. shoes are vital to their wearers

B. a practical purpose is to wear shoes

C. people want to buy new shoes they pay attention to

D. shoes may give away their wearers’ information

2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?

A. People with high incomes probably wear expensive shoes.

B. Ankle boots are closely aligned with “aggressive” personalities.

C. People wearing “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to be calm

D. People who wear practical and functional shoes may be hard to deal with

3.The underlined word “attachment anxiety”, probably means ___________.

A. Attached happiness to one’s personality.

B. Feeling always worried about everything.

C. Often feeling worried about his or her appearance.

D. Wasting an inordinate amount of time.

4.Which might be the best title for the passage?

B. People Are What They Wear.

D. Shoes Reflect A Person’s Personalities.

Liverpool is famed for many things — most especially The Beatles and its football team. But few would associate the city with one of the most famous political speeches in history. Yet tourism officials in the city have published the claim that Martin Luther King's “I Have a Dream” was written at a city centre hotel. The allegation (说法) has been made in a guide to a major art event named Liverpool Discovers.

A map in the guide shows more than 20 locations where famous people were born along with places associated with celebrities (名人) and events in their life. The guide claims, “Martin Luther King visited his supporters in Liverpool three times, and the first draft of his famous speech ‘I Have a Dream’ is claimed to have been written at Adelphi Hotel.” The speech, delivered to civil rights campaigners on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington in 1963, is one of the most quoted texts in history and was a definitive moment in the American Civil Rights Movement and in the fight for racial equality.

Dr. King's biographer, Godfrey Hodgson, said that the suggestion did not fit the facts. He said, “I don't believe it. If he had been to Liverpool, there would have been massive media reports, as he would have been a big figure by then. Dr. King did visit the UK on a number of occasions but he was not in the UK around the time of this famous speech in 1963.”Prof. John Belcham, a history lecturer of University of Liverpool who wrote an 800?year history of Liverpool in 2008, confirmed that he was unaware of any connection between Dr. King and the city.

1.In the first paragraph, the writer tells us indirectly that

________.

A.Liverpool Discovers was created to remember Martin Luther King

B.many famous political speeches in history were delivered in Liverpool

C.most people think Liverpool is known for the famous speech “I Have a Dream”

D.the claim that “I Have a Dream” was written in Liverpool still lacks evidence

2.The guide offers relevant information about ________.

A.the places associated with celebrities

B.the families of celebrities

C.the contributions of celebrities

D.the daily life of celebrities

3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Godfrey held a negative attitude towards Dr. King.

B.There were some arguments about whether Dr. King wrote the speech himself.

C.The connection between Dr. King and Liverpool was doubted by some experts.

D.John was unaware of any connection between Dr. King and Liverpool.

4.What would be the best title for this passage?

A.Martin Luther King and His Speech

B.Is Liverpool Connected to Martin Luther King?

C.Liverpool Is a Good Choice for Holidaymakers

D.The Most Famous People in Liverpool

What's life like on a deserted island? Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona decided to find out.

The adventurous senator took a vacation from Capitol Hill and went on a four?day Robinson Crusoe style holiday with his two teenage sons to a remote, deserted island in the North Pacific Ocean.

The senator and his sons, 15?year?old Tanner and 13?year?old Dallin, traveled 5,200 miles from Phoenix, Arizona to the island of Biggarenn. They didn't carry any food or water.

The island is part of the Marshall Islands. It offered no basic supplies, so the Flakes had to catch and cook their own food and purify their water. Their diet was made up of coconuts, crabs and fish. They caught the crab and fish themselves and cooked the food over an open fire started with a magnifying glass (放大镜).

The Flakes brought along a lobster trap (龙虾夹) in the hope of having some delicious treats, but lost it within the first few hours after it was attacked by a shark. They also carried two pumps to remove salt from ocean water. It took them hours each night to pump for just a few gallons of fresh water.

One of the most memorable moments of the trip, the father said, was when he and his 15?year?old son were almost caught by sharks after spearing (用叉叉起) a fish in the ocean.

Still, it was quite an enjoyable holiday for them. “For a dad it was a wonderful thing. No video games around, no television, no disturbance, no texting,” Flake recalled.

1.Why did the Flakes go to the island of Biggarenn?

A.To meet Robinson Crusoe.

B.To spear the shark for food.

C.To spend a special vacation.

D.To swim in the North Pacific Ocean.

2.What can we learn from the text?

A.The Flakes could easily find a fire on the island.

B.The Flakes caught lobsters for food on the island.

C.The Flakes found basic things that they needed on the island.

D.The Flakes took much trouble to get drinkable water on the island.

3.According to the text, the Flakes' holiday is ________.

A.adventurous but interesting

B.exciting but painful

C.meaningless but enjoyable

D.boring but memorable
