Are yu an “I persn” r an “E persn”? These tw persnality labels in particular are widely discussed nline. They are part f a ppular
persnality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicatr, r MBTI. There are 16 persnalities in all, f which “I” and “E” refer t “intrverted” and
“extrverted”, respectively.
Even if smene is typically quiet, many nline discussins suggest that an “I persn” can still act utging at times. Fr example, when an
intrverted persn is with a grup f intrverted friends, they might becme mre scial like an “E” persn.
Accrding t psychlgists, this idea f temprarily switching persnalities is called “masking”. That is hiding yur true persnality in specific
situatins. “Human beings want t feel they belng, and they might becme peple-pleasers t d s,” wrte the MasterClass website.
Thinking n this, I may actually be the kind f persn that these peple are discussing. Mst times, I just wish t make the atmsphere mre
interesting and exciting and shw peple that I’m easy t get alng with. But deep dwn, I mstly enjy being alne and quiet.
Using the MBTI result t identify and describe smene’s persnality seems fun. Hwever, I went t far at ne time. My sister was excitedly
making a day-t-day travel plan when I remembered frm an article that a “P persn” desn’t like t make r stick t plans, s I said t her, “Yu
dn’t seem like a ‘P persn’”. “Why?” she asked back. “Since when d I need t fllw what my persnality test tells me t d?” It was then
that I realized that I’d taken the result t seriusly.
The MBTI persnality test may shw smething yu dn’t knw abut yurself and can even be a fun ice-breaker questin when meeting new
friends. And that’s all it is—fr fun. Knwing smene’s MBTI result desn’t mean yu really knw this persn.

B．She failed t help her sister fllw her plan.
C．She believed blindly the result f the persnality test.

When pening certain mbile apps, users ften find disruptive (有干扰性的) pen-app advertisements that impact their experience. Open-app
advertisements are advertisements that appear in between cntents r during transitin screens, such as when an app is lading the next page. Sme f
these advertisements can redirect users t anther app if the phne is shaken, causing a lt f frustratin fr cnsumers.
These pen-app advertisements functin as gateways and becme mre cmmn during nline shpping festivals, redirecting users t shpping
platfrms such as Taba and JD. Mst smartphnes have a gyrscpe sensr (陀螺仪传感器) t detect shaking, leading t unintentinal redirectin.
Many users nt nly find it annying t find themselves n an advertisements page, but als have truble disabling the gyrscpe feature since
smetimes their phnes lack the chice t d s t avid this issue.
In respnse, authrities have intrduced detailed regulatins n shaking advertisements gateways. A regulatin published in December 2022
utlines specific rules fr the design f “shake-t-pen” advertisements. It says that these advertisements can nly be “clicked thrugh” if the
phne’s rtatin angle exceeds 35 degrees, with an actin time lnger than three secnds.
Additinally, in February, the Ministry f Industry and Infrmatin Technlgy emphasized that pp-up r pen-app advertisements shuld nt
disrupt users’ experiences. A regulatin intrduced in May states that advertisements must include a clear buttn fr users t clse them.
Gvernment enfrcement f these regulatins presents challenges, as the number f apps and develpers is great. Hwever, this shuld nt be an
excuse fr internet platfrms t break the rules, as this behavir causes far mre harm than gd. A survey by the Jiangsu Cnsumer Cuncil shwed
that ver 90 percent f users strngly dislike pen-app advertisements, feeling that their rights are being threatened.
While these advertisements might lead t mre clicks, the fact is that the advertisements may harm the credibility f the platfrms that the
advertisements lead t and weaken the users’ willingness t use the platfrms. Platfrms can achieve a mutually beneficial (互惠互利) slutin nly if
they respect users’ chices and prvide suitable advertisements that users are willing t accept.
【小题1】What des the first paragraph mainly talk abut cncerning pen-app ads?
A．The benefits f pen-app ads fr nline shpping platfrms.
B．The lack f regulatins gverning traditinal advertising methds.
C．The effectiveness f pen-app ads in increasing users’ engagement.
D．The negative impact f disruptive pen-app ads n users’ experience.
【小题2】What was regulated in December 2022 abut “shake-t-pen” ads?
A．They can be clicked thrugh withut any restrictins.
B．They can nly be clicked thrugh n certain cnditins.
C．They shuld have a clear buttn fr users t clse them.
D．They shuld appear fr nly three secnds n the screen.
【小题3】Hw can platfrms reach a win-win slutin as mentined in the last paragraph?

A．By ignring users’ chices.
B．By respecting users’ preferences.
C．By presenting mre irrelevant ads.
D．By flding users with mre prfitable ads.
【小题4】What is the best title f the passage?
A．The Preferences f Shpping Platfrms.
B．The Challenges f Online Shpping Festivals.
C．The Rle f Advertisements in Imprving Users’ Experience.
D．The Battle against Disruptive Advertisements n Mbile Apps.

stred in sil, s releasing even a small part f this int the atmsphere can have a huge impact n climate change.
It’s estimated that wild pigs destry mre than US＄74 millin wrth f crps and grass each year in Australia, and mre than US ＄270 millin in

This includes Australian grund frgs, tree frgs and multiple rchid species which are imperiled, as pigs destry their habitats and hunt them fr fd.
Their gegraphic range is expected t expand in the cming decades, suggesting their threats t fd security and bidiversity will likely wrsen. But
here, let’s fcus n their cntributin t glbal emissins.
One such study was cnducted fr three years in hardwd frests f Switzerland. The researchers fund wild pigs caused sil carbn emissins t
increase by arund 23% per year. Similarly, a study in the Jigng Muntains Natinal Nature Reserve in China fund sil emissins increased by mre
than 70% per year in places disturbed by wild pigs.
【小题1】Why are wild pigs unppular accrding t the text?
