A“Mom, I’m going to take my travel journal to school, okay? I want to show my teacher. ” The summer holiday is one of the main topics of conversation at the beginning of each school year. Friends and teachers want to know all about the fun. What better way to recount the experience than show them with a travel journal? Travel journals are as individual as your child, but with the following tips, you can make one too.Start with the bookA good journal is big enough to allow room for drawings, writing, photos, and souvenirs. If it’s too small, nothing will fit. My family finds artist sketchbooks to be the best because the paper is heavier and a good quality to draw on. They also hold up well when souvenirs such as postcards or ticket stubs are pasted in.Educational additionsLoad a simple map of your route and paste it in the book. If you’re traveling through several states or provinces, create a section in the book for each leg of your journey. Use a brightly colored marker to plot your route and stickers to show important points along the way. You may also wish to include coloring pages of state flags and animals, along with interesting trivia about your family travel destination.A picture says a thousand wordsYou may be surprised how judicial(公正) kids become when given a disposable camera and permission to take photos of whatever is important to them. Develop the photosen route, and you have an instant quiet time activity. Avoid disappointment; take a back up photo on you camera as well.With a travel journal, the question, “What did you do this summer? ”takes on a whole new meaning. A drawing here, a quote there, and a few pictures quickly add up to a wonderful book full of memories that can be shared with friends and family for many years to come. After all, isn’t that what family vacations are for?21. The first paragraph serves as _________.A. a descriptionB. a suggestionC. an introductionD. a summary22. Why does the author’s family like artist sketchbooks the best?A. They hold many drawings.B. They are heavy and large enough.C. They can be kept as good souvenirs.D. Their paper is suitable for drawing.23. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. How to make a travel journal.B. Making a summer holiday fun.C. Advantages of keeping a travel journal.D. The real meaning of a family vacation.BUp until about 3 years ago, I never really questioned my identity but now I amf a r m o r e a w a r e o f i t. Sometimes I’ll say really crazy things like “I wonder what I’d look like with pale yellow hair”, and my father only smiles. I guess growing up with Western parents and living in a fairly Western society have made me feel rather “Western”. However, my mother thought that it was still important for me to stay connected to my “roots”.Our family would go on various trips to China, sightseeing and learning more about the culture. I would attend Saturday Chinese (language) school and whenever my school had a culture or an international day, my mother would encourage me to dress up in Chinese dress or bring Chinese food. The key word: encouraged. Not forced.Understanding my native culture and tradition and knowing other children just like me were obviously important ideas my mother valued when it came to bringing up her two Chinese daughters. I have never really had any identity issues; however, Ifind that now I have become less interested in maintaining a strong link to my Chinese tradition. This is because I started traveling and seeing more of the world, and grew up in a very Western lifestyle.What do I mean by this? I have started to become more aware of their customs. But do not think I did not appreciated the opportunity I had to learn about my culture;I will never truly stop being Chinese, but as I grow older, I want to declare myselfa full-and-through Australian.I am on a Chinese Adoption Facebook group and I decide to ask for some ideas on how they feel about being open to learning their native culture.24. According to the text, the writer’s roots are in _________.A. ChinaB. AustraliaC. AmericaD. France25. The writer stays connected to China by the following ways EXCEPT _______.A. traveling to ChinaB. cooking Chinese foodC. attending Chinese language schoolD. learning Chinese culture26. What can we infer about the writer and her family?A. The writer is a nice girl with beautiful golden hair.B. The writer wants to be strongly connected with Chinese tradition.C. The writer prefers the Western lifestyle to the Chinese one.D. The writer’s present parents both come from Australia.27. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. The experience the writer’s family had while traveling in China.B. The writer’s feeling about her special identity.C. The effect the Western lifestyle has on the writer.D. Others’ responses the writer received to her question.CCommon-cold SenseYou can’t beat it, but you don’t have to join it. Maybe it got the name “common cold” because it’s more common in winter. The fact is, though, being cold doesn’t have anything to do with getting one. Colds are caused by the spread of rhinoviruses(鼻病毒), and, at least so far, medical science is better at telling you how to avoid getting one than how to get rid of one.Children are the most common way cold viruses are spread to adults, because they have more colds than adults—an average of about eight per year. Why do kids seem so much more easily to get colds than their parents? Simple. They haven’t had the opportunity to become immune to many cold viruses.There are more than 150 different cold viruses, and you never have the same one twice. Being infected by one makes you immune(免疫的)to it –but only it.Colds are usually spread by direct contact, not sneezing or coughing. From another person’s hand to your hand and then to your nose or eyes is the most common route. The highest concentration of cold viruses anywhere is found under the thumbnails(拇指甲)of a boy, although the viruses can survive for hours on skin or other smooth surfaces.Hygiene is your best defense. Wash your hands frequently, preferably with a disinfectant(消毒剂) soap, especially when children in your household have colds.But even careful hygiene won’t ward off every cold. So, what works when a coughing, sneezing, runny nose strikes?The old prescription(处方)of two aspirins, lots of water, and bed rest is a good place to start. But you’ll also find some of the folk remedies worth trying. Hot mixtures of sugar (or honey), lemon, and water have real benefits.28. According to the essay, you may have a cold because ____________.A. the weather is too coldB.another person’s coughing passes the cold to youC.the spread of rhinoviruses gets people infectedD.you wash your hands too often29. Children have more colds because _________.A. they are not immune to many cold viruses yetB.they are usually infected about eight times each yearC.they never wash their hands so that their thumbnails are dirtyD.they don’t like eating lemon30. When you are having a cold, ___________.A. it is always the same kind of cold that you had last timeB.it is certainly not the same kind of cold that you had last timeC.it may be the same kind of cold that you had last timeD.it is probably not the same kind of cold that you had last time31. When one is having a cold, he may often have all the following symptoms EXCEPT ________.A.coughingB. having a sore throatC. having a stomachacheD. havinga runny noseDThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade”, and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include the hierarchy(等级) and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friend don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining andpassing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if they aren’t speaking for some unfortunate reason. The mother and child relationship is still closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well-being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps” friends.32. The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “___________”.A. preventB. differC. benefitD. change33. What do we know from the passage?A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B. A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.D. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.34. The author proves his statements mainly by __________.A. listing dataB. giving explanationsC. quoting sayingsD. making examples35. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to be a good mother and daughterB. Can a mother be a daughter’s best friend?C. A friend in need is a friend indeedD. Who is a mother’s best friend?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Charing Cross.BFor almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people's lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed.“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope（听诊器）and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London. At first, I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and other doctors, it's easy to take people in.” he said.One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came into hospital, York was standing over her.“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection." she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didn't think there was anything wrong. "I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadn't showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I cou ld hardly believe my ears.”Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was "shocked and horrified,, that he got away with his deceiving（欺瞒）for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders.“1 can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunities to study the behavior of the psychiatrists（精神科医生）who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psych iatrist after you are set free, 1 shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence.” Judge Adams warned York.24.York was proud of the fact that.A. a surgeon let him watch an operation.B. he could perform some duties of a doctorC. he had cheated doctors for so longD. people thought he could become a real doctor25.York learned how to behave like a doctor by.A. watching other doctors workB. talking to doctors and nursesC. getting some training and experienceD. observing doctors while he was a patient26.Why was Laura Kennan in hospital?A.She had swallowed something and almost died.B.She had to have an emergency operation.C.She had been injured in a road accident.D.She had lost consciousness while driving.27.The judge's remark implied that York would be more severely punished if he.A. pretended to be a psychiatristB. tried to get away from prisonC. was proud of what he had doneD. studied the behavior of the psychiatristCThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert （警觉）.Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze （注视）starts to lose its focus —until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns; she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coining into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects （a comb, a key, an orange and so on）, changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise （同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.28.The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby's ______.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smell29.Babies are sensitive to the change in___.A. the size of cardsB. the color of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects30.Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of theexperiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies9 interest.31.Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children's literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and services to the attention of people. Throughout history, advertising has been an effective way to promote the trading and selling of goods. In the Middle Ages, merchants employed “town criers” to read public messages aloud to promote their goods. When printing was invented in the fifteenth century, pages of advertisements （ads） could be printed easily and were either hung in public places or put in books.By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people, printed materials became an important way to promote products and services. The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century. Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text. Everything, from clothes to drinks, was promoted with clever methods such as repetition of the firm's name or product, words organized in eye-catching patterns, the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.Near the end of the nineteenth century, companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as ""advertising agencies （广告商）The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of a group. Throughout the twentieth century, advertising agencies promoted consumerism （消费主义）as a way of life, spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the "right“ products.32.What was advertising like in the Middle Ages?A.Merchants were employed to promote products.B.Ad messages were shouted out in public places.C.Product information was included in books.D.Ad signs were put up in towns.33.What does the word "This" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Advertising in newspapers.B. Including pictures in ads.C. Selling goods in markets.D. Working with ad agencies.34.The 18th century advertising was special in its.A. growing spendingB. printing materialsC. advertising companiesD. attractive designs35. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. The Story of AdvertisingB. The Value of Advertising DesignsC. The Role of Newspaper AdvertisingD. The Development of Printing for Advertising其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C or D. Choose the one that suits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AThey say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules(骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early; my husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizona’s famous heat se emed to roast us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.The next day, after we’d had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon – by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转) the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!”When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I’d suggest a fourth buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.66. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A. They made a careful preparation before the tripB. They children were more joyful than their parents.C. Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.D. The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.67.The underlined expression “Our legs were like jelly” probably means _____________. .A. we were weakB. we were unhappyC. we were dissatisfiedD. we were disappointed68. Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?A. It proved to be frightening.B. It was more fortableC. It turned out to be excitingD. It made each of them tired.69. We can infer from the passage that ____________. .A. experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best wayB. one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon.C. the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion.D. the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident.BChina news, Beijing, Feb. 9 –Housing price in China has always aroused heated discussions among property developers and ordinary Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is still low pared with many developed countries. However, the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000 yuan per square meter, while in China, it is even higher than in the United States. This shows that there are some bubbles in Chinese real estate market, the International Finance News reported.Although the average price of residential houses in the United States, after converted to Renminbi, is about 8,000 yuan per square meter, the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. If US property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. In most big Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US.The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles. Moreover, Chinese houses can not be pared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. Furthermore, it should be noted that American people’s average ine is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people. How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in US?At the beginning of xx, Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. Now in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can regulate the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans and lands to property developers. At the same time, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels, such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. By applying these multiple means, it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered.70. According to the passage, what is the average housing price per square meter in China?A. 8000 yuanB. 10000 yuanC. 7000 yuanD. It’s not mentioned here71. Which of the following does NOT support the idea that the average housingprice in China is even higher than in the United States?A. Chinese houses can not be pared with houses in US in terms of buildingquality, environment and supporting facilities.B. American people’s average ine is several dozen times higher than thatof Chinese people.C. The houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chineseproperty developers do when they sell their houses.D. There are more people who need houses in China.72. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The housing price in China is so high that the government should dosomething useful to prevent it.B. There are some bubbles in Chinese real estate market.C. The average housing price in China is even higher than in the United States.D. Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public.73. How many measures are mentioned in the last paragraph in order to reduce the high housing prices?A. FourB. ThreeC. FiveD. TwoCSome futurologists have assumed that the vast increase of women in the workforce may portend (预示) a rejection of marriage. Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry. The opposite of this concern is that the prospects of being a multi-paycheck household could encourage marriage. In the past, only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now, however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to put off marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy es to life, the number of marriages also rises.The increase in divorce rates follows to the increase in women working outside the home. Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusions. The impact o f a wife’s work on divorce is no less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally plausible(似是而非的). Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role i n ending a marriage. By raising a family’s standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her family’s financial and emotional stability.Psychological factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand, if she can find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union.Also, a major part of women’s inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that, in most cases, men have remained the main breadwinners. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities.74. It is said in the passage that when the economy slides_____.A. men would choose working women as their marriage partnersB. more women would get married to seek financial securityC. even working women would worry about their marriagesD. more people would prefer to remain single for the time being75. If women find fulfillment through work outside the home,_____.A. they are more likely to dominate their marriage partnersB. their husbands are expected to do more houseworkC. their marriage ties can be strengthenedD. they tend to put their career before marriage76. One reason why women with no career may seek a divorce is that_____.A. they feel that they have been robbed of their freedomB. they are afraid of being bossed around by their husbandsC. they feel that their partners fail to live up to their expectationsD. they tend to suspect their husbands’ loyalty to their marriage77. Which of the following statements can best summarize the authors’ view in the passage?A. The stability of marriage and the divorce rate may reflect the economic situation of the country.B. Even when economically independent, most women have to struggle forreal equality in marriage.C. In order to secure their marriage women should work outside the home andremain independentD. The impact of the growing female workforce on marriage varies from case to case.Section DDirections Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words. ( no more than 10 words)When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars.A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t wan t —an end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong –even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.78. What is likely to happen if you have disagreements with your friends?79. The author wrote the article mainly to tell us .80. The underlined word nurture probably means ________________.81. What causes the change of friendships?第II卷(共47分)I.

ALee Lok Sze was the first woman in Hong Kong to reach both the North and South Poles. In 1992 and 1993，she went to Mount Everest and the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang. “I wanted to be an adventurer when I was small. I have loved reading adventure books since I was a child. ”Since 1970，Miss Lee has always been on trips，tr avelling to different parts of the world with a backpack and a sleeping bag.She said that these journeys changed her values. “After visiting these places，I started to treasure my life much more than before. During this time，I came to realize how small I am in the universe，but nothing in this world is unsolvable.”Miss Lee said she had a lot of unforgettable experiences on her journeys. There was one terrible storm at sea when she was returning from the South Pole. The whole team was happy to be returning home after a one－year stay at the South Pole. During the storm, waves reached heights of up to 30 meters，as high as a 10－story building. She stayed calm at the time and took steps to protect their research findings. She hoped the rescuers would find them even if they lost their lives. Part of the ship was destroyed and a lot of water came in. Luckily they all survived，but she came away from the experience with a realization about the power of nature.Miss Lee is also the founder of the China Polar Museum Foundation. Building a polar museum has always been her dream. According to Miss Lee，the museum will use advanced technology to help develop scientists' work in polar areas. Also，it will provide places for scientists to do research.21.

Here is some information you may need.25. Most of the students had their trips organized by ___________.A. EF FoundationB. AFSC. Rotary InternationalD. SCCE26.

For a student without much money, the best place would be ___________.A. IcelandB. FranceC. GermanyD. ThailandCWhether in the workplace or on the football field, effective teamwork can produce amazing results. However, working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem. Effective teamwork certainly needs a great deal of hard work and compromise. There are a number of factors that must be in place to make a good team.Effective leadership is one of the most important components of good teamwork. The team's leader should possess the skills to create and preserve a positive working environment and motivate and inspire the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed. An effective team leader will promote a high level of spirit and make them feel supported and valued.Communication is a vital factor of all interpersonal relationship and especially that of a team. Team members must be able to articulate their feelings, express plans and goals,share ideas and see each other's opinions.Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together. The best way to deal with conflicts is to have some organized methods of handling conflicts. Team members should be able to voice their concerns without fear of offending others. Instead of avoiding conflict issues, a handson approach that settl es them quickly is much better. It is often advised that the team leader sit with the conflicting parties and help work out their differences without taking sides and trying to remain objective if possible.The team leader must set a good example to create good teamwork. In order to keep team members positive and committed and motivated, the team leader herself/himself needs to show these qualities. The team turns to the leader for support and guidance.

How to Handle Conflicts in a TeamDResearchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately（精确地，准确地） judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes. “Shoes convey useful information about their wearers，”the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality.Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style，cost，color and condition of someone's shoes. In the study，63 University of Kansas researchers lookedat pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes，and then filled out a personality questionnaire.Some of the results were expected：People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive sho es，and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people. However，some of the more specific results are strange enough. For example，“practical and functional”shoes were generally worn by more “pleasant” people，while ankle boots were more linked with “aggressive”personalities. The strangest of all may be that those who wore “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them，you may suffer from “attachment anxiety”，spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance. There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal(主张变革的)types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities，but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities.32.What does this text m ainly tell us?A.
