Then one day, Sue saw Jim’s music collection. She noticed a rare punk rock CD that she also owned. At that moment, she realized that they both had the same interest in music and they started talking. Sue said, “I thought we had nothing in common（相同）until I saw his CD by the New York Dolls.” They are now married and living with each other.Some psychologists (心理学家) think that your taste in music is related to (有联系的) your personality. As part of a test at the University of Texas, Austin, USA, volunteers created a CD of their favourite songs. The volunteers then listened to each other’s CDs and made guesses about the CD creator’s personality—outgoing, adventurous, happy, and so on. These strangers correctly guessed much more about each others’ personalities through their CDs than through their clothes or taste in films. For example, Sue and Jim love punk music, which means they have outgoing personalities.The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dogg (hip-hop) fans are likely to be energetic and talkative. People who like U2 (rock/pop music) are generally independent and adventurous.The psychologists also found that Louis Armstrong(jazz) fans tend to(倾向于) be shy. The psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.Title: 1 and PersonalityAn opinion Your 2 in music is related to your personality.Findings One’s clothes or taste in films is 3 important than his/her CDs in a test of guessing about one’s personality.It is said that hip-hop fans are energetic and talkative.People who 4 rock or pop music are usually independent and adventurous.Jazz fans are likely to be 5 .It’s 6 that rap and heavy metal fans are shier and quieter than many other music lovers.An 78 Sue and Jim were neighbors for five years, they were never interested in each other.After Sue noticed they both had rare punk rock CDs, she found they had 9in common.They are now married and living 10 .1___________2____________ 3____________ 4____________ 5____________6___________7_____________8____________ 9____________ 10___________五、词汇A.根据句意及汉语意思完成单词。

Everyone is surprised to see him, but they're also pleased to see him alive.Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom's best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man in the story.The theme of the story is about children's growing up.
