Do you think we can understand people's characters from the way they write? Many people would disagree with the idea. However,some business leaders and a group called “graphologists(筆跡學家)”believe our personalities are revealed in our handwriting.
Graphology is a term used to describe the practice of analyzing people's handwriting to determine what kind of personalities they have. It's thought that certain letter formations and patterns in wnting reveal personality types.
Many organizations in France invite graphologists to help with the selection of employees. Applicants are required to submit a handwritten letter so that graphologists can determine if they have the right personality for the job. Handwriting that is big and carefully planned is thought to indicate that the writer is outgoing and confident. Thus,jobs that require such a personality would be given to people with this type of handwriting. People with plain handwriting who use small letters would be thought to be shy and thus not suitable for the job.
The slant(傾斜) of a person's handwritjng is ajso thought to reveal something about his character. Writing with a slant to the right、vShows that the person thinks about the future,while writing with a slant to the left reveals a tendency to be stuck in the past. A person whose letters are round rather than (有棱角的) would be thought to be friendly.
Though graphology is widely used,it is not supported by scientific evidence. The reason it seems to work is that the personality descriptions revealed are highly generalized. It is much like a horoscope(占星術) or palm reading,which describes personalities using very general terms. And people tend to notice the parts of the description that are true while ignoring the parts that are not true.
5. Applicants* handwriting is analyzed mainly to find out whether they .
A. have the ability to handle the job
B. can devote themselves to the job
C. were good students in the past
D. have big plans for the future
6. Which of the following about graphology is mentioned in the text?
A. The size and angle of letters.
B. The space between letters or words.

D. The speed and pressure of the writing.
7. What do we know about a person by his handwriting according to the text?
A. A person who writes round letters is silent.
B. Angular writing shows someone is easy-going.
C. A person who has a right slant in his writing is future-oriented.
D. Large writing shows someone likes to live in the past.
8. The text is mainly about .

In my junior year of college I came to a university in Madrid,Spain. The experience of studying abroad has changed my life greatly. Here is how.
My Spanish phone has no access to the Internet. It isn’t easy for me. But without Google to answer my questions,I often ask my teachers for help. When I need directions,I look up at street signs instead of looking down at my phone. It turns out that I have absorbed more when my eyes aren't glued to my screen.
In my hometown,if I wasn't in a quiet library,I could not focus on studying. However,here,without a library nearby,I have to find other locations to study. I choose to study in the darkest comer of a cafe,determining to stay away from anyone who wants to chat. As time goes by,I’ ve become habituated to the laughter and light. Now when I face a problem,an encouraging smile is all I need to get back on track. What starts off as a method of survival has changed into a love of cafes and the ability to work anywhere.
My freshman year of college was a race to find friends. I worried if I didn't immediately join a group,I would be alone for the next four years. In fact,relationships have developed more naturally abroad. With wonderful friends waiting for me back in Atlanta,I feel no pressure to make as many friends as possible. If I discover someone isn't my cup of tea,no sweat; I have the freedom to develop quality over quantity.
Before a family or school trip,my mom used to plan every detail. But in Madrid,every aspect of the trip—transportation,lodging activities,and food — is my responsibility and anxiety runs high.

Big waves are very bad news indeed. History is full of examples of devastation(破壞)The biggest wave ever recorded was the one that hit Alaska in 1958,after a huge landslide (山崩) created a tsunami that peaked at 500 meters above sea level. That's not a misprint: It was more than twice as high as the ：tallest building in Britain today — Canary Wharf Tower. Scientists know how high it was because the giant wave removed trees and soil from nearby mountains up to that ：altitude.
The Alaskan wave is believed to have been a tsunami caused by a landslide. Italy has been hit by as many as 67 tsunamis in the past 2 ,000 years,though none ：of them was as devastating as the one that killed 230,000;people around the Indian Ocean in 2004.
It's useful to tell the differences between tsunamis, which are caused by geological events,and enormous waves generated by weather. But it is probable that both types will become a lot more common as a result of worldwide global warming. The oceans absorb more than 80 percent of the heat added to the climate system. As the waters heat up,wind speeds increase,storms become more violent,polar ice melts,and sea level rises.
“Now is the time to prepare for great floods,” Lloyd, an editorial in New Scientist,advised. ”In the future,the UK's coastal cities will be jn jeopardy due to rising sea levels,” reported Lloyd. Similarly,nine out of the world's ten largest cities are located on low-lying coastal land.
But giant waves are not new. For centuries,sailors told of the existence of enormous waves up to 100 feet high that could appear without warning in mid-ocean and often in perfectly clear and calm weather. Researchers ： had reservations until the' existence of extremely huge waves was confirmed in 1995 in Norway,where an ： 84-foot wave occurred in the sea where the average of the : tallest 33 percent of waves was 39 feet.
9. How did scientists determine the height of the Alaskan wave?
A. By comparing it with Canary Wharf Tower.
B. By observing the damaged mountains.
C. By watching it from a tall building.
D. By studying the huge landslide.
10. According to the text,more giant waves will be caused by .
Ai tsunamis B. landslides
C. climate change D. rising sea levels
11. The underlined words “in jeopardy” in Paragraph 4 probably mean .
A. in place B. in peace
C. in danger D. in control
12. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Giant waves are less common recently.
B. The biggest wave ever recorded was in Norway.
C. Enormous waves appear with warning in the ocean.
D. Researchers had doubts about huge waves before 1995.

Don’t try this — ever. Hiking to the end of the Awa’ awapuhi Trail(路徑) on the island of Kauai,Hawaii is a pretty scary experience. But photographer Scott Sharick did that. Holding a camera stick,he walked along the mountain's ridge. The resuld? The scariest (自拍) we've ever seen.
Scott Sharick did that because he is a photographer and he needs to take risks at times. It doesn't mean we can follow his footsteps. The state forbids hikers to go where this man has gone.
While the trail starts with a fairly easy walk through the Na Pali-Kona Forest Reserve,where you* 11 enjoy fine views of the ocean and valleys,it ends with two lookout points(瞭望哨) showing off the amazing Awa awapuhi and Nualolo valleys below. “The trail slopes down,so getting there is quick,” Sharick explained. “Once you get to the lookout points,you can then take a walk down the ridge.”
If you go past the raz/zVzgs (金屬圍欄) ，which is extremely dangerous and not suggested,and onto the mountain's ridge like Sharick did,you’ 11 find yourself surrounded by panoramic views of.Kauai‘s famousNa Pali coastline. "Anyone hiking should be aware of the challenges of any given hike ,” Sharick warned. “And they should not take risks just to see a beautiful view or to get a picture."
David Chatsuthiphan,who writes the hiking blog Unreal Hawaii,offered a similar warning. “Extreme caution should be exercised at the end of the trail because it's a cliff,” he wrote. “It would be very easy for a person to slip and fall to his death."
Follow the state's official trail and access a guide to reach the Awa,awapuhi Trail head. Going onto the mountain's ridge is strictly banned.
9. Why did Scott Sharick hike to the end of the Awa,awapuhi Trail?
A. To show his bravery.
B. To take a scary selfie.
C. To admire the scenery of the ocean and valleys.
D. To find a way to cross the Awa,awapuhi valley.

A. are advised to walk along the mountain's ridge
B. can then take an easy walk along the Na Pali coastline
C. can get a better view of the two amazing valleys below *
D. will find themselves surrounded by the Na Pali-Kona Forest Reserve
