Keys: 1. passive appearances 2. straightforward creativity bored annoyed 3. indecisive picky demanding impatient 4. buying habits romantic partners Script: East Asia’s obsession with blood types comes from the work of Furukawa Takeji, a Japanese doctor who nearly a century ago was sure that one’s personality was caused by his/her blood type. According to his theory, each blood type had a distinctive, corresponding personality type. Type A people are conservative and passive, and are concerned with appearances. Although type A people are superficial and have a touch of mental instability, they are very patient and finish what they start. Type B people get along well with others because they are straightforward, and are noted for their creativity. But type B people are also moody and become bored and annoyed easily. Type O people are stubborn and impulsive. Their redeeming quality is that they are loyal to their friends. Type AB people are indecisive and picky. They tend to be demanding and impatient, and they have trouble seeing things through. Despite any real evidence to support these ideas, Takeji’s theory quickly caught on. By 1930, standard job application forms included a blank for blood type, and today market researchers use it to predict buying habits, and ordinary people use it to choose friends and romantic partners.

Background Information 1.1 The Johari Window The Johari Window model, developed by Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham, has been widely used for individuals to see themselves as others see them. There are four windows in the Johari model: things that we and others know about us; things that we know that others don’t know about us; things that others see or know about us that we don’t realize; and things that neither we nor others know about us or the unconscious self. Training workshops using this model have been established for participants to find out about themselves through self reflection and through feedback from others. 1.2 Personality Tests There are many personality tests available online that one can take.

Difficult Sentences and Sentence Patterns 3.1 Difficult Sentences 3.1.1 A closer look at personalities will show you why they are not so simple, and you will also discover that your personality can be shaped if you make the effort.

(L.60-62) That is why divorce is not good and it often has negative influence on the growth of young children. 這也就是為什么婚姻破裂的家庭會對兒童的成長產(chǎn)生負面影響。 本句中exert a (negative) influence on 意為“對…產(chǎn)生(負面)影響”；句中why divorce is a harmful social practice作表語, 而that often exerts a negative effect on the growth of young children 是定語從句,修飾和限定a harmful social practice。 3.2 Sentence Patterns 3.2.1 prefer… rather than…(L.25) 寧愿做… 而不愿做… e.g. I prefer to go to the movies rather than stay home. 我寧愿去看電影而不愿意待在家里。 prefer doing…(L.31) 更喜歡做…; 覺得…更可取 e.g. I would prefer your staying out of the dispute. 我倒認為你還是不參加辯論的好。 3.2.2 have sb. doing … (L.32) 使某人做; 允許某人做… e.g. He had us laughing all through lunch. 他讓我們在整個午餐中笑個不停。 I won’t have you running around in the house. 我不允許你在屋子里亂跑。 3.2.3 be likely to do… (L.59) 可能會… e.g. He isn’t likely to win. 他不可能會贏。 It is likely to rain tonight. 今晚可能會下雨。 4. Discourse Analysis 4.1 Main Idea of the Text People come with distinctive personalities — the combination of different characteristics. A person’s personality is composed of three main kinds of elements: emotional, social and intellectual, and can be shaped by two influences: heredity and environment. And adolescents, especially young university students can make some personality adjustments so as to build themselves a more pleasing personality. Main Idea of Each Paragraph Directions: Text A has twelve paragraphs (1-12). Choose the most suitable heading for each paragraph from the list below. A) Intellectual traits of personality B) Environment influence on personality C) Emotional traits of personality D) What is personality E) Three elements of personality F) Two influences on personality G) A good time for personality adjustment — adolescence H) Personality can be adjusted I) Behavior reveals personality J) Social traits of personality K) Personalities are not simple L) Heredity influences personality Keys: 1-D; 2-K; 3-E; 4-C; 5-J; 6-A; 7-I; 8-F; 9-L; 10-B; 11-H; 12-G 4.2 Structure of the Text The text explores what personality is and what shapes one’s personality. The author starts with a brief introduction to personality , then points out that one’s personality cannot be easily described and is composed of three main elements: emotional, social and intellectual, and the development of personality can be influenced by two factors: heredity and environment. Finally the author states that people can change some personality traits into more pleasing ones and adolescence is the best stage to develop one’s personality. The structure of the text can be clearly seen in the following chart. The definition of personality (para.1—para.7) The development of personality (para.8— para. 12) A brief introduction to personality (para.1) Two factors influence the development of personality. (para.8) One’s personality cannot be easily described but can be shaped.(para.2) Heredity: the set of characteristics that one inherits from parents and ancestors influences one’s personality. (Para.9) Environment: the circumstances, objects, and conditions that surround people also have strong and complicated impact on personality. (para.10) One’s personality is composed of three main elements. (para.3) Emotional: how people handle their emotions (para.4) Social: how people relate to others (para.5) Intellectual: how people’s mind works (para.6) These personality traits are expressed through behaviors. (para.7) People can change some personality traits into more pleasing ones. (para.11) Adolescence is the best stage to develop one’s personality. (para.12) 4.3 Rhetorical Devices in the Text The author applies the rhetorical device— simile（明喻） in the last sentence of the text: “Just as an athlete builds skills, you can build the personality you want to have…”. In this sentence the possibility for an athlete to build skills is compared to that for one to shape one’s personality. By using simile here, the author implies that one’s personality can be built and improved step by step. In the fifth and sixth paragraphs, the author uses the structure of “some…..others….” and “one …. another…” to achieve the effect of contrast so as to show the differences in how people relate to others.
