A little young boy loved football with his all heart. But being half the size of the other boys, at all the games, the young boy sat on the bench and hardly ever had chances to play. His father was always standing there with cheering. He never missed a game.
This young boy was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him but also made it very clear that he did not have to play football if he didn’t want to. But the boy loved football and decided to hang in there. All though high school he never missed any practice or a game but remained a bench-warmer all four years. His faithful father was always standing there with words of encouragement for him.

Are you creative, shy or outgoing? Our personalities reveal a lot about who we are. But what’s surprising is that our personality can also say something about our health. That’s according to researchers at Duke University, US.
During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed (评定) their personalities in two ways: by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found that those who were careful at age 26 were in better health after 12 years.
Being careful means that people tend to have a lot of self-control, and are less likely to smoke, the scientists said. Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and healthy diet.
From those who were least careful, 45 percent developed health problems by the age of 38. Such health issues included gum disease and high blood pressure (高血压). To compare, only 18 percent of careful people went on to develop health problems.
Another positive personality was called “openness to experience”, meaning curious and imaginative. People who have more of this personality have higher IQ scores. So they’d be more likely to know how to find medical help to prevent disease.
According to the report, if doctors assessed our personalities, it could help doctors to find which young adults need advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle. What’s surprising is that stress didn’t play a big part on a person’s health. Even though stress and anxiety (焦虑) are usually linked to bad health.
But can a doctor who knows our personality really improve our health? Or should doctors be kept away from knowing something so personal?Which personality type may be better for our health, according to the research?
| A．Careful. | B．Stressed. | C．Shy. | D．Careless. |
From the passage, we learn that careful people ____.
| A．are too shy to talk to strangers |
| B．love to ask the doctor for advice |
| C．are likely to have a healthy lifestyle |
| D．may have high blood pressure when they’re older |
What is the main idea of the article?
| A．People can change their personality type. |
| B．Scientists have found two different personality types. |
| C．Personalities have something to do with our lifestyle. |
| D．Personalities say something about our health. |
From the last paragraph, we can infer that_____________.
| A．stress can lead to many health problems |
| B．those who have high IQ scores are very careful |
| C．it’s not clear that a doctor who knows our personality can improve our health |
| D．the writer thinks doctors should know something special about us |
