Unit 1 Personality羞怯的痛苦对许多人来说，羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。
各种各样的人——矮的、高的、愚笨的、聪明的、年轻的、年老的、瘦的、胖的——都说自己是羞怯的。
羞怯的人会焦虑不安，感到不自然；也就是说，他们过分地关注自己的外表和举止。
脑海中不断盘旋着一些使自己不安的想法：我给人留下的是什么印象？他们喜欢我吗？我讲话是不是傻里傻气？我长得难看。
我穿的衣服毫不引人注目。
很显然这种不安的感觉会对人产生不利的影响。
一个人的自我看法反映在自己的行为方式之中，而一个人的行为方式又影响他人的反应。
通常，人们如何看待自己对他们生活的各个方面都会产生深刻的影响。
例如，具有积极的自我价值观或很强自尊心的人往往表现出自信。
而由于自信，他们不需要他人不断地称赞和鼓励，也能使自己感觉良好。
自信者热情、自发地投入生活。
他们不因别人认为他们“该”做什么而受到影响。
有很强自尊心的人不会被批评所伤害；他们不会把批评看作是人身攻击。
相反，他们认为批评是一种提醒他们改进的建议。
相比之下，羞怯的人自尊心较弱，往往消极被动并且容易受他人影响。
他们（是否）在做“该做的事情”需要得到别人的肯定。
害羞的人对批评非常敏感；他们觉得批评正好证实了他们比别人差。
他们也很难因别人的赞美而高兴，因为他们相信自己不值得称赞。
羞怯的人也许会用这样的话来回答别人的赞美之辞：“你这么说只是为了让我感觉好一些。
我知道这不是真的。
”显然，尽管自我意识是一种健康的品质，过分的自我意识却是不利和有害的。
能否彻底消除或者至少减轻羞怯感呢？幸运的是，人们能够通过坚持不懈的努力建立自信从而克服羞怯。
由于胆怯和缺少自尊是密切相关的，因此正视自己的弱点和正视自己的优点一样重要。
例如，大多数人希望每门功课都得A。
如果仅仅因为在某些领域有困难，就把自己列为差生，这不恰如其分。
人们对自己的期望必须现实。
老是想那些不可能的事情会令自己觉得无能，甚至产生嫉妒。
当我们嫉妒比自己成绩好的学生时，我们正在自我否定。

In America many people have a romantic idea of life in the countryside. Many living in towns dream of starting up their own farms, of living off the land (依靠土地为生) . Few get round to putting their dreams into practice. This is perhaps just as well as the life of a farmer is far from easy, as Jim Doherty discovered when he settled down in the country. Nevertheless, as he explains, he has no regrets and remains enthusiastic about his decision to change his way of life.

Personality traits that are valued in one culture may be frowned upon in another culture.Most research tends to suggest that our basic personality is inherited but that many factors shape and mould our personality as we grow mature.Recognizing one’s strengths and weaknesses is an important step in the process of personal development.In recent years, various studies have shown that health and personality are interrelated. In constantly looking at the dark side of things, pessimists can become discouraged to feel helpless; optimists, on the other hand, attempt to make the best of a situation.2.

She was brave and determined. Hua Mulan was a legendary/fictional female warrior from the Northern and Southern Dynasties period of Chinese history. Disguised as a man, she took her aged father’s place in the army. Mulan fought for twelve years and gained high merit, but she refused any reward and retired to her hometown.2. I strongly agree with this proverb. Our destiny is often decided by how we choose and what we do. And our character determines how we choose and what we do. In turn, those choices and actions shape our character too. Character tells who we are and determines what happens in our life and what path we take.I will take Scarlett as an example. Katie Scarlett O’Hara is a fictional character in Margaret Mitchell’s 1936 novel Gone with the Wind. She is vain, self-centered, and spoiled by her wealthy parents. She can also be insecure, but is very intelligent, despite the Old South’s pretense of ignorance and helplessness. She is somewhat unusual among Southern women, whom society preferred to act as dainty creatures who need protection from their men.

Openness:Openness indicates how open-minded a person is.A person with a high level of openness to experience enjoys trying new things. They are imaginative, curious, and open-minded. Conscientiousness:Conscientiousness is the personality trait of being careful, or diligent. Conscientiousness implies a desire to do a task well, and to take obligations to others seriously.Extroversion:Extroversion (also spelled extraversion) is defined, by Carl Jung, as “an attitude-type characterized by concentration of interest on the external object”. Extroversion tends to be manifested in outgoing, talkative, energetic behaviour, whereas introversion is manifested in more reserved and solitary behaviour. Agreeableness:Agreeableness is a personality trait manifesting itself in individual behavioural characteristics that are perceived as kind, sympathetic, cooperative, warm, and considerate.Neuroticism:Individuals who are neurotic are more likely than average to be moody and to experience such feelings as anxiety, worry, fear, anger, frustration, envy, jealousy, guilt, depressed mood, and loneliness. They respond worse to stressors and are more likely to interpret ordinary situations as threatening and minor frustrations as hopelessly difficult. They are often self-conscious and shy, and they may have trouble controlling urges and delaying gratification. ExerciseIII. 1.I am an agreeable person. I find it important to getalong with others and I’m willing to put aside my interests for other people. I feel it hard to say NO to others. People like to come to me and I never refuse to help them even though I myself am busy at that time.2.Personality traits predict general patterns of behaviour over time rather than single instances of behaviour. Odelia is excited and interested because she is an open person. She plans to explore the island and learns new things. Claire is concerned about the seriousness of the situation because she is a conscientious person. She wants to make sure that they can survive. Emile is thrilled because he is an extrovert. He wants to celebrate and explore the island with others. Albert is kind because he is an agreeable person. He cares for Nora and agrees to everything. Nora has a breakdown because she is a neurotic person. She feels stressed and lost.3.Emile has the idea to make a fire. He calls the others to help.

羞怯的人会焦虑不安，感到不自然；也就是说，他们过分地关注自己的外表和举止。
脑海中不断盘旋着一些使自己不安的想法：我给人留下的是什么印象？他们喜欢我吗？我讲话是不是傻里傻气？我长得难看。
我穿的衣服毫不引人注目。
很显然这种不安的感觉会对人产生不利的影响。
一个人的自我看法反映在自己的行为方式之中，而一个人的行为方式又影响他人的反应。
通常，人们如何看待自己对他们生活的各个方面都会产生深刻的影响。
例如，具有积极的自我价值观或很强自尊心的人往往表现出自信。
而由于自信，他们不需要他人不断地称赞和鼓励，也能使自己感觉良好。
自信者热情、自发地投入生活。

能否彻底消除或者至少减轻羞怯感呢？幸运的是，人们能够通过坚持不懈的努力建立自信从而克服羞怯。
由于胆怯和缺少自尊是密切相关的，因此正视自己的弱点和正视自己的优点一样重要。
例如，大多数人希望每门功课都得A。
如果仅仅因为在某些领域有困难，就把自己列为差生，这不恰如其分。
人们对自己的期望必须现实。

These traits include a vast variety of attitudes and attributes such as shyness, generosity, patience, flexibility, sadness, humor, cheerfulness, selfishness, independence and aggressiveness. Most people are a mix of positive and negative traits. Personality traits that are valued in one culture may be frowned upon in another culture. Similarly, qualities that are encouraged in boys might be regarded as negative traits in girls.It is common that many Chinese students feel self-conscious or uncomfortable to speak English in or out of class. As a result, they lose more opportunities to practice English. Thus, shyness is in the way to English improvement.B. TasksTask 1: Describe Personality1.

Warming-Up Questions (in-class reading)Work in groups to answer the following questions.1.
