But whats surprising is that our personality can also say something about our health. Thats according to researchers at Duke University, US.During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed (评定) their personalities into two ways: by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or a friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found that those who were careful at the age of 26 were in better health after 12 years.Being careful means that people are more likely to have a lot of self-control (自控力), and are less likely to smoke. Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and a healthy diet, the scientists said.From those who were less careful, 45 % developed health problems by the age of 38. Such health problems included gum disease and high blood pressure. To compare, only 18 % of careful people went to develop health problems.Another positive (积极的) personality was called “openness to experience”, meaning curious (好奇的) and imaginative. People who have more of this personality have higher IQ scores. So theyd be more likely to know how to find medical help to prevent disease.According to the report, if doctors assessed our personalities, it could help doctors to find which young adults need advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle.But can a doctor who knows our personality really improve our health? Or should doctors be kept away from knowing something so personal?29 . What kind of people are more likely to develop health problems? ACareful people.BLess careful people.CThose who have self-control.DThose who are curious and imaginative.30 . By the age of 38, MORE of the less careful people developed health problems than the careful people.A18%B27%C45%D63%31 . Which of the following shows the writers opinion? ACareful people are more likely to have an active lifestyle.BScientists assessed peoples personalities into two ways in the experiment.CThe study found that those who were careful develop fewer health problems.DA doctor who knows our personality may not be able to really improve our health.32 . Whats the best title of the passage? AHealthy Personality.BUnhealthy Personality.CPersonalities and Health.DDifferent Personalities.My Dog MandyThis is Mandy. She is the best dog!

However, people are very happy in Finland, despite the countrys natural challenges. Last month, the nation was named the happiest on Earth, according to the 2018 World Happiness Report released by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network. The Finns certainly have a high range of happiness, Eric Weiner wrote in his 2008 book The Geography of Bliss. Theres a stereotype（刻板印象）that Finns are introverted（内向的）and shy, because they often stay silent. But in fact, for Finns, it is extremely rude to interrupt someone. This leads to us making pauses or taking our time to talk, Krista Huhtala-jenks, a senior officer at Finlands Ministry of Transport and Communications, explained to CNN. Perhaps Finlands love for heavy metal music and tango reveals（显示）the countrys true personality, however. Indeed, young Finns love heavy metal music, while tango remains a huge part of Finnish culture for the older generation. The passionate dance started in Argentina, but its Finland that became the tango capital of the world. Every July, the Finnish town of Seinajoki draws thousands of people from all over the world to a four-day tango festival. During the festival, a tango king and queen are chosen. Another trademark（特征）of Finnish culture is the sauna（桑拿）. According to CNN, the nation has about 3. 5 million saunasroughly one for every 1. 6 people. And 99 percent of Finns take at least one sauna a week, BBC News reported. In Finns eyes, saunas are closely related to well-being. For example, if a person gets sick, he or she will take a sauna. Many women also prefer to give birth in a sauna, because the walls of traditional smoke saunas were lined with naturally bacteria-resistant soot（抑菌的煤烟灰）, making them the cleanest room in the house, BBC News noted. Medical benefits aside, the sauna is also seen as a place to collect your thoughts. “Sauna is for your mind. It really helps you to calm down in a modern society where it is never quiet,” Jarmo Lehtola from the Finnish Sauna Society, told BBC News. If somebody wants to understand what it is to be a Finn, they have to understand what a sauna is. If you do not experience sauna, you do not experience Finland.36 .

Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?AClimate and clothes.BMusic and dance.CAppearance and character.DSports activities.38 .
