Our personalities (性格) tell a lot about who we are. 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?（1）What kind of people are more likely to develop health problems? A . Careful people.B . Less careful people.C . Those who have self-control.D . Those who are curious and imaginative.（2）By the age of 38, MORE of the less careful people developed health problems than the careful people.A . 18%B . 27%C . 45%D . 63%（3）Which of the following shows the writers opinion? A . Careful people are more likely to have an active lifestyle.B . Scientists assessed peoples personalities into two ways in the experiment.C . The study found that those who were careful develop fewer health problems.D . A doctor who knows our personality may not be able to really improve our health.（4）Whats the best title of the passage?A . Healthy Personality.B . Unhealthy Personality.C . Personalities and Health.D . Different Personalities.13. （8分）阅读理解 Friends are important to the children. Research shows that children who have no friends can suffer from difficulties later in life.

What might you do differently next time? For these ideas, read books such as Cooperative Sports and Games Book by Terry Orlick, and Team Building Activities for Every Group by Alanna Jones.Encourage children to express thanks to others.
