user: Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Finding the Real You Psychometric testing--personality testing--has been very popular nowadays as studies show their results to be three times more accurate in predicting your job performance. These tests are now included in almost all graduate recruitment   and are widely used in the selection of managers. The most popular of these personality tests is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). It is based on the theory that we are born with a tendency to one personality type which stays more or less fixed throughout life. You answer 88 questions and are then given your "type", such as Outgoing or Quiet, Feeling or Thinking. Critics of personality testing raise doubts about "social engineering". Psychologist Dr. Colin Gill warns that the "popular" personality traits   have their disadvantages. "People who are extremely open to new experiences can be butterflies, going from one idea to the next without mastering any of them." However, the psychometric test is here to stay, which may be why a whole sub-industry on cheating personality tests has sprung up. "It's possible to cheat," admits Gill, "but having to pretend to be the person you are at work will be tiring and unhappy and probably short-lived." So can we change our personality? "Your basic personality is fixed by the time you're 21,"says Gill," but it can be affected by motivation and intelligence. If you didn't have the personality type to be a doctor but desperately wanted to be one and were intelligent enough to master the skills, you could still go ahead. But trying to go too much against type for too long requires much energy and is actually to be suffered for long. I think it's why we're seeing this trend for downshifting--too many people trying to fit in to a type that they aren't really suited for." Our interest in personality now exists in every part of our lives. If you ask an expert for advice on anything, you'll probably be quizzed about your personality. But if personality tests have any value to us, perhaps it is to free us from the idea that... Question: In Dr. Gill's view, how easy is it to change your personality? Options: A: It's possible in your adult life. B: It's easy if you have great motivation. C: It's difficult before the age of 21. D: It's unlikely because it requires much energy.

Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Life in 2060     Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let's make believe(;) it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.     Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment  of young and old.     What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on heir  supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.     Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.     Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.     People are now largely vegetarians . You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.     Such would be our life in 2060. Question: The passage tells us that in 2060,   _   on the earth than now. Options: A: there are fewer population B: there are more pests C: there is less water D: the crops are getting better
