Researchers at the University of Kansas say that it's easy for people to judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes． "Shoes contain useful information about their wearers．" the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality． Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style， cost， color and condition of someone's shoes． In the study， 63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants． Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes， and then filled out a personality questionnaire． Some of the results were expected： People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes， and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people． However， some other results are strange enough． For example， "practical and functional" shoes were generally worn by more "pleasant" people， while ankle boots were more connected with "aggressive" personalities． The strangest of all may be that those who wore "uncomfortable looking" shoes tend to have "calm" personalities． And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take very good care of them， you may suffer from "attachment anxiety"， which means you are likely to spend lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance． There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal （主张变革的） types wearing "shabbier and less expensive" shoes． The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities， but researchers noted that volunteers didn't fully realize that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities． 1.What does this text mainly tell us？ A. Shoes can hide people's real personalities． B. Shoes contain false information about the wearer． C. People's personalities can be judged by their shoes． D. People know little about others' personalities． 2.Which of the results is beyond people's expectation？ A. Wealthy people often wear expensive shoes． B. Pleasant people are likely to wear ankle boots． C. Flashier shoes are typically worn by outgoing people． D. Calm people like wearing uncomfortable shoes． 3.People suffering from "attachment anxiety" tend to ． A. wear strange shoes B. worry about their appearance C. have a calm character D. become a political leader 4.The author wrote the text in order to ． A. inform us of a new study B. introduce a research method C. teach how to choose shoes D. describe different personalities

Why do we read poetry？ First obvious one： because we enjoy it．1. But that's not why this is here． Many of us read poetry simply because we often feel depressed and hopelessly lost， and in poetry we see how beautiful and strange everything is．2. There are many different kinds of poems． They are not all calming． Some poems make me anxious， angry， scared， and sad， which is why I value them． 3. I want the sweet and the bitter． Often， I read poetry when I'm already relaxed． In fact， I read more when I'm not stressed out． Here are the main reasons I respond to poetry， as far as I can tell． 4. Usually， this is done by setting up a rhythm（节奏） and then violating（违反） it or almost violating it． And then returning to it again． This satisfies my desire for order and also my desire for testing boundaries． Poetry plays with language． It often slams words together in surprising ways like the way food can be when the chef has paired ingredients that you never thought would taste good together but somehow do． Many poems are dense． Words mean two or three things at once and lots of suggestions are packed between the lines． This is intellectually（在智力上） inspiring． 5. And， of course， there's the subject matter． It interests me just as it would if the same subject was explored in a story or essay． Not all poems interest me in this way， but then not all stories and essays do， either． A． So in that way poetry calms our anxiety． B． As a reader， I want a full meal， not just dessert． C． Another reason is to appreciate the suggestions offered． D． The only other reason seems to be for academic purposes． E． The best part about poetry is that they are not fixed in length． F． Metrical（格律的） poems are about setting up rules and then bending them． G． It allows me to read the same poem over and over， always finding new things in it．
