    4．The writer of the passage agrees to all the ideas EXCEPT that . A． any small success will make us excited B． organizing a conference is a success C．aiming for success is to gain new experiences in life D．the journey to success is not so smooth to make (B) Handwriting reveals a great deal about how an individual thinks, since the brain dictates hand movements when a person writes. People who think quickly will write quickly, while people whose thinking is slow will write in the same way. Sometimes we see very elaborate handwriting, particularly among public figures, such as actors or politicians, who want to draw attention to themselves. For them, handwriting is like a dress that enables them to stand out from the crowd. The handwriting of someone who is suited to a routine job will appear well organized, clear, and regular, without any special features drawing attention to it. If the job requires proven accuracy, like that of an accountant, the handwriting, especially the numbers, should be precise. On the other hand, someone in sales or public relations must be self-assured, know how to make a good impression, and be able to befriend people even when meeting them for the first time. The handwriting of such individuals will appear rather large, with elaborate capitals and an oversized signature. It will be quick, fluent, and not necessarily readable. Handwriting analysis can be used to spot potential behavioral or personality problems. People who are impulsive, aggressive, or dishonest write differently than those who are socially well adjusted. Warning signs include broken and strongly or sporadically pressured handwriting; disorderly handwriting in which the words run over the lines on the paper, or extremely sharp handwriting. Generally, handwriting that is extreme in any aspect – too big or too small, too weak or too pressured – is suspect. Evidence of medical problems also shows up in a person’s handwriting. Individuals in pain often stop in the middle of writing. Pauses will be visible in the handwriting of people who experience difficulty breathing, because they stop writing to take a breath. Handwriting expresses the mental and physical state of the individual, as well. Depressed people write slowly, with lines sloping down and heavy pressure exerted on the page. People who are excessively excited will write quickly, and their penmanship will be extremely disorganized and practically unreadable. People who are tired tend to write lines that descend down the page, and their handwriting will appear weak and slow. Healthy and vigorous individuals will write energetically, and their handwriting will be quick, rhythmic, and fluent. 【查看更多】
