Once there was a parrot on sale in a pet store. It was a beautiful red and blue bird. It sat on a perch ( 橫桿 ) in the middle of the store, so that everyone could see it when they came in. The owner was very proud of it and asked a high price for it.  

One day a man went into the store. “ That’s a beautiful bird,” he said to the owner, “ But why is it so expensive? Is it an unusual bird?”

 “ No, it’s not very unusual. It’s expensive because it can talk.” the pet store owner said.

“ I see. How can I make it talk?” the man asked.

The owner asked him, “ Do you see those strings ( 細(xì)繩 ) tied to each of the bird’s legs?

“ Yes,” the man answered.

 “ Well, you pull those strings,” the pet store owner told him. That will make the parrot talk.”

The man asked, “ Do you mind if I try?”

 “ Not at all,” the owner said.

The man walked up to the parrot and pulled the string on its left leg. The parrot said, “ Good morning.”

The man pulled the string on the parrot’s right leg. This time the parrot said, “ How are you today?”

“ That’s not very interesting,” said the man. “ Any parrot could do that.” Then he laughed, “ But what would happen if I pulled both strings at the same time?”

 “ I’ll fall off my perch, you fool !”the parrot said.

Wonder why you can get angry so easily while your friend smiles all the time? It’s probably because you both have different personalities(個(gè)性).
Personality is also about how people think, behave, and react (反應(yīng)) to everything around them from day to day.
So what makes people think and behave in certain ways?
Part of the reason is that people are born like this. A baby gets its blood type, genes (基因) and other physical things when it’s still inside its mother. These things may help decide what the baby will be like.
But one’s personality doesn’t stop here. Family life, school learning and life experiences can also make you the person you are. This doesn’t mean it’s impossible to change your personality. You can always try to make yourself better. Don’t get too worried about your shortcomings (缺點(diǎn)). Just accept them. This is a good way to start making changes.
If you don’t know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because you’re too shy? Tell yourself to smile at people. Start talking to people using warm greetings.
Don’t give yourself a hard time about it all. It’s not easy to change lifelong habits in one night. Keep working at it. One day you’ll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new you!
【小題1】Personality is about the following except        .

Dear Mum:

Today I’m going to tell you something really special. I know you work very hard and feel tired every day.

Every time you come home and see the messy(雜亂的) house. I know you are very angry with me. But you always say nothing and clean up the house .I always want to help you, but I have so much homework to do. After I finish my homework, I feel like dying. I really want to help you, but I’m so tired too.

I also want to tell you one thing, I love you so much. I usually talk back to you when you say that I don’t study hard enough. But in fact I just want you to praise（贊揚(yáng)） me more. I will try my best to get good grades and get praise from my teacher. So don’t feel frustrated （失望）about my grades, OK? I have made up my mind that I will study harder and help you to clean the house. I am serious this time. I will have my homework done faster so that I can have more energy to clean the house. I will watch TV less so that I can have more time to study and get good grades. All these things are for one reason: I want to make you happy Mum.

I love you!
