“Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” It is a popular topic among young people around China today. Many people are crazy about it so that they take a personality test named Myers-Briggs test to find out the answer.
Many people find the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Test Indicator) useful. It groups people into 16 types, which start with the letter “I” or “E”, such as “ENTJ, INFP” or more. “E” is short for “Extroversion” while “I” is for “Introversion”. “I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends. ” “I’m an ‘I’ person. I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future. ” They believe different types can help them make decisions for activities, jobs or even life choices more quickly.
But there are also problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an ‘I’ or an ‘E’? ”
When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions are generic. They can be used to describe many people. Research has found that over 50% of people get a different score when they retook the MBTI just five weeks later. Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white, scientists say. You may be introverted now but become extroverted when you get older. Or, you can be both an “I” and an “E”. Don’t label yourself! Studies have also shown that the test is not real at telling people’s success in different jobs. So, don’t take it too seriously.

With our already busy lives, finding time to exercise can be impossible. So maybe it would help if there was “a best time” to exercise.
There are clear benefits to exercising in the morning. Many of us have more free time than later in the day, and it may be easier for us to keep a morning plan. A study found that people could sleep better when they exercised in the morning or had the physical activity during the whole day. Exercising on an empty stomach (空腹) before breakfast could also have less fat (脂肪) and keep healthier.
So, good news for early birds, but what if you’re not a morning person? Working out in the afternoon or evening is also good, but different. For example, your body’s ability reaches the highest level in the afternoon, according to a 2010 study. Also, in the afternoon and evening, your mind is the quickest, and your heart rate and blood (血) pressure are lowest, and you aren’t getting hurt (受伤) easily when exercising.
But can this happen? Deciding on if you are a man or a woman? Our bodies are different, after all, so the best time to exercise may be different too. Want to reduce (降低) your blood pressure and you are a woman? Exercise in the morning. Want to improve your heart health and you are a man? Evening is better for you. But, a 2022 study found that it’s both OK for them to exercise at either time of day.
So what time is best? It seems the answer is: whatever time is best for you!
1. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________ of exercising in the morning.| A．good points | B．the steps | C．some advice | D．the experience |
| A．stop people talking clearly | B．make people act quickly |
| C．lead to have high blood pressure | D．get the legs broken easily |

【推荐1】Kevin lived in a village in Africa. One morning, the teacher came into Kevin’s classroom with a new girl. “Hi, guys! My name is Jenny. I am from America. I came to Africa with my dad. It’s nice to meet everyone,” the girl said.
Kevin noticed (注意) that he looked different from Jenny. As soon as school was over, he ran home to ask his mother, “Mom, there is a new student Jenny in our class today. She comes from the US. Everyone in Africa has curly hair, right? Then, why is Jenny’s hair straight?”

【推荐2】It’s half past seven on Monday morning: time to get ready for school. Jay Stone rolled out of bed. He did a couple of quick wake-up exercises and then he went over to his mirror and looked at himself.
“Not bad, Stone, not bad,” he said to himself and smiled. Maybe he wasn’t ready for Hollywood, but with his dark brown eyes and his thick brown hair and eyelashes, he had the looks that turned girls’ heads. He moved in closer to the mirror and smiled, checking his teeth.
“Perfect,” he thought. “Good enough for a toothpaste ad.”
As his eyes moved down to his muscular arms and chest, he smiled again. The hours he spent in the gym and doing sit-ups have paid off（回报）!
But suddenly, the smile froze on his lips. His eyes moved from the upper part of his body down to his legs. His legs were short. Not just short, but far too short for his body. He had the upper body of a six footer, but because of his legs he was much less than six feet, six inches less! Sitting, he was as tall as almost anyone. Standing, he had to look up at most of the boys and even many of the girls.
Why didn’t his legs grow with the rest of his body? At five foot six he was one of the shortest boys in his class. He was the shortest in his own family, he was even shorter than his “little” sister—by three inches! Where did his legs come from? He certainly didn’t get them from his parents. They were both quite tall. Looking through old photos in the family album, he found the answer. It was his grandfather on his mother’s side. His short legs were a gift from Grandpa Tuttle. Thanks a lot, Grandpa!
Of course, the kids at school all noticed Jay’s short legs and they had a nickname for him—Stubs! Almost no one called him by his real name; they all called him Stubs. Stubs Stone. Jay didn’t like his nickname, but he had to accept it. He had no choice.
But Jay couldn’t see in the mirror what his legs could do. They were quick and strong. He was the youngest player on the Brewer High football team. He could run faster than anyone else on the team—and, like a battery-charged rabbit, he kept going and going. Even at basketball, where the other players were much taller than him, they were still afraid of him because of his speed.
