“Mom, I have something to tell you.” I said. “I was playing soccer in the house, and I broke your mirror.” I quietly explained. “Blaming Rusty for your mistake was wrong,” mom said, “but John, thank you for being honest. Now let Rusty back inside, and you can’t go to the soccer match on Saturday.” I thought about arguing, saying it’s unfair, but it is. I made a mistake.

The kind of music you like says something about your personality. So does the way you dance to certain kinds of music. These findings come from two different research projects. They used surveys to find out what kinds of personalities people had. Then researchers looked at either how personality types matched with people’s favorite kinds of music or how people danced.
Dr. Adrian North and his team from a Scotland university had the personality study that also looked at people’s taste in music. They surveyed over 36,000 people from six different countries. Dr. North and his team first asked people questions to find out if they were outgoing, creative, hard-working or confident among many other personality types. He also asked them to rate how much they like different kinds of music.
It turns out that people who like the same kind of music seem to have similar personalities. And this is true even if the people are from different countries. For example, people who like jazz are usually confident and creative but are often not outgoing. People who like rock music are not hard-working and not confident, but they are creative. People who like country are hard-working but not outgoing. These findings didn’t match everyone exactly, but in general, people’s personality types and taste in music matched surprisingly well.
Dr. Geoffrey Luck from a Finland university studied the connection between personality and how people danced. Like Dr. North, Dr. Luck also used a survey to determine（判定）the personality types of 900 people. Then he asked 60 people with strong personality types to dance to different kinds of music. While they danced, Dr. Luck recorded them on video. He then used a computer program to analyze the way people moved their bodies.
Dr. Luck found outgoing people move around a lot while dancing. Hard-working people tend to move around a lot as well, but they also use their hands more. People with easy-going personalities tend to dance from side to side and move around more smoothly. Shy or nervous people don’t move smoothly and they move from one foot to another.
The next time you dance, watch the people around you and ask them what kind of music they like, you can learn a lot about them.
51. What did Dr. North study?
A. The music of six countries. B. Old and young people’s taste in music.
C. Music preference and personality. D. Surveys of music lovers from past research.
52. According to Dr. North’s research, what is usually true of people who like rock music?
A. They are confident. B. They are creative.
C. They are easy-going. D. They are hard-working.
53. What is true about Dr. North and Dr. Luck?
A. They studied the same people. B. They used the method of surveys.
C. They asked people to listen to music. D. They worked for the same university.
54. According to Dr. Luck’s research, how does a man who is both hard-working and easy-going probably dance?
A. He uses his hands less. B. He moves from one foot to another.
C. He moves around smoothly. D. He dances without moving much.
55. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Where different kinds of music and dance started.
B. Why people dance different ways to popular music.
C. How music and dance show people’s personalities.
D. What researchers learned about professional dancers.

When I was cleaning up the mirror, Rusty, my pet dog, jumped around me. It gave me an idea.
Mom came back and Rusty jumped up to greet her. “I’m sorry, mom, but Rusty broke your mirror.” I lied（撒谎）, looking at my feet. “Rusty, you bad boy!” mom was angry. Rusty whined（呜呜声）. A sick feeling rose in my mind, “You go outside to the yard.” said mom. “Go to your doghouse, Rusty.” I said, holding the door open. Rusty walked to his doghouse, looking sad.
I closed the door and tried to think about something else. It began to rain hard. Rain fell down Rusty’s nose, just like he was crying. “What have I done?” I asked myself.
“Mom, I have something to tell you.” I said. “I was playing soccer in the house, and I broke your mirror.” I quietly explained. “Blaming Rusty for your mistake was wrong,” mom said, “but John, thank you for being honest. Now let Rusty back inside, and you can’t go to the soccer match on Saturday.” I thought about arguing, saying it’s unfair, but it is. I made a mistake.

The kind of music you like says something about your personality. So does the way you dance to certain kinds of music. These findings come from two different research projects. They used surveys to find out what kinds of personalities people had. Then researchers looked at either how personality types matched with people’s favorite kinds of music or how people danced.
Dr. Adrian North and his team from a Scotland university had the personality study that also looked at people’s taste in music. They surveyed over 36,000 people from six different countries. Dr. North and his team first asked people questions to find out if they were outgoing, creative, hard-working or confident among many other personality types. He also asked them to rate how much they like different kinds of music.
It turns out that people who like the same kind of music seem to have similar personalities. And this is true even if the people are from different countries. For example, people who like jazz are usually confident and creative but are often not outgoing. People who like rock music are not hard-working and not confident, but they are creative. People who like country are hard-working but not outgoing. These findings didn’t match everyone exactly, but in general, people’s personality types and taste in music matched surprisingly well.
Dr. Geoffrey Luck from a Finland university studied the connection between personality and how people danced. Like Dr. North, Dr. Luck also used a survey to determine（判定）the personality types of 900 people. Then he asked 60 people with strong personality types to dance to different kinds of music. While they danced, Dr. Luck recorded them on video. He then used a computer program to analyze the way people moved their bodies.
Dr. Luck found outgoing people move around a lot while dancing. Hard-working people tend to move around a lot as well, but they also use their hands more. People with easy-going personalities tend to dance from side to side and move around more smoothly. Shy or nervous people don’t move smoothly and they move from one foot to another.
The next time you dance, watch the people around you and ask them what kind of music they like, you can learn a lot about them.
51. What did Dr. North study?
A. The music of six countries. B. Old and young people’s taste in music.
C. Music preference and personality. D. Surveys of music lovers from past research.
52. According to Dr. North’s research, what is usually true of people who like rock music?
A. They are confident. B. They are creative.
C. They are easy-going. D. They are hard-working.
53. What is true about Dr. North and Dr. Luck?
A. They studied the same people. B. They used the method of surveys.
C. They asked people to listen to music. D. They worked for the same university.
54. According to Dr. Luck’s research, how does a man who is both hard-working and easy-going probably dance?
A. He uses his hands less. B. He moves from one foot to another.
C. He moves around smoothly. D. He dances without moving much.
55. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Where different kinds of music and dance started.
B. Why people dance different ways to popular music.
C. How music and dance show people’s personalities.
D. What researchers learned about professional dancers.

【答案】例文：
Dear Jim,
I am happy to know you are learning about Chinese culture. The story “Sai Weng Lost His Horse” is also called “A Blessing in disguise”.
Once upon a time, there lived an old man. Later, he was called “Sai Weng”. One day, his horse ran away. People came to comfort him. The old man said: “It may be a good thing!” After a few months, the horse led several horses back. When the old man’s son rode a horse, he fell off and broke his leg. Many people felt bad for the old man. But he said it might be a good thing. After a year, a war happened. All the young men took up arms to fight. Most of them died. But his son didn’t go because of his broken leg.
The story tells us every coin has two sides. No matter what you meet is “blessing” or “disaster”, you should keep a happy mind.
Yours,
Li Mei
