How Your Personality Type Affects Your Health

Personalities play an important role in determining one’s behavior and habits, so it’s little wonder that your personality type has much to do with your health. Now research has found that personality traits (特点)can be important health predictors. One study even found that the personality traits exhibited during childhood are linked to self-rated health during middle age.

So how is your health influenced by your personality? Let's take two common personality types for example. One is the classic type A personality. People with this personality type tend to be more competitive, impatient, tense, and even aggressive. According to research, this personality type is associated with many negative health outcomes like high blood pressure, heart disease, increased job stress, and social isolation (孤立). So, if you tend to have some of the more negative features of a type A personality, such as a tendency to be stressed out, explore things you can to lower your chances of developing health problems. For instance, you can practice stress management skills, which can help you to better handle life's daily problems.

The other one is the “eager to please” personality type. People with this personality type tend to be accommodating, passive, and conforming (从众). Their passive nature also means they're more likely to feel hopeless or helpless in the face of a negative health event. They may also be less likely to seek help when something is wrong. When faced with a diagnosis (诊断),they may simply assume that nothing they do will make much of a difference. So, what can you do to protect your health if you tend to be a people-pleaser? Don't always place your own well-being last. Being considerate of others can be a positive trait, but be sure to take time for your own health as well. Besides, don't fall into thinking that your health is out of your hands. Instead of focusing on the external influences that affect your health, pay attention to the things that you can change through your own actions.

Why does personality have an impact on health? Why are certain traits so tied to certain diseases? The answers aren't clear, but one potential explanation is that personality impacts the ways people choose to behave and live. People who are more responsible may be more likely to make healthier choices while those who are neurotic (神经质的)may be less likely to seek medical help.

Understanding your personality might be a great way to help determine what sort of health choices or changes you need to focus on making. By being aware of the potential clangers you may face, you can turn to your health care professional and come up with a plan to minimize the clangers.

本文为说明文，作者讲述了你的性格如何影响了你的健康，并提出了一些建议。

【1】

句意转换题。从文章第一段第二行… your personality type has much to do with your health…可知，所用短语为have much to do with意为“与…有关”，故填related/ connected/ linked。

【2】

词性转换题。从第一段…Now research has found that personality traits can be important health predictors(现在研究发现，人格特征可以成为重要的健康预测因素)…并分析本句的句子成分，可知此处应填predictors的动词形式，故填predict/ foresee。

【3】

信息归纳题。从第二段举例…like high blood pressure, heart disease…等等可知此处是指“生理健康问题”，所设空与其前的mentally并列，因此用副词，故填physically。

【4】

信息归纳题。从第三段…Their passive nature also means they're more likely to feel hopeless or helpless in the face of a negative health event(他们被动的天性也意味着他们在面对负面健康事件时更容易感到绝望或无助)可知,这种个性的人面对负面的健康问题常常消极应对或者听之任之。Abandon oneself to…表示在某种困境中自暴自弃，听之任之，故填abandon。

【5】

句意转换题。句意：这种性格的人更容易陷入绝望和无助，这使得他们在需要帮助时不愿寻求帮助。从第三段…They may also be less likely to seek help when something is wrong（当出现问题时，他们也不太可能寻求帮助）…再分析设空处的句子意思，可知此处意为“阻止”，且在情态动词can之后，应用动词原形，故填discourage/ prevent/ keep/ stop/ prohibit。

【6】

句意转换题。从第三段…Don't always place your own well-being last(不要总是把自己的幸福放在最后).可知place … last意为“将…置后，忽略”，故填neglect/ ignore/ overlook。

【7】

归纳题。从第三段…Instead of focusing on the external influences that affect your health, pay attention to the things that you can change through your own actions(不要把注意力放在影响你健康的外部因素上，而要关注那些你可以通过自己的行动来改变的事情)…可知，不要把注意力放在外部因素上，意即要将注意力更多地关注到“内部”影响上，故填internal。

【8】

段落大意归纳题。从第四段Why does personality have an impact on health? Why are certain traits so tied to certain diseases? （为什么性格对健康有影响?为什么某些特征与某些疾病联系如此紧密？）两个句子可知，本段解释可能的原因，故填reasons。

【9】

句意归纳题。从第四段…while those who are neurotic (神经质的) may be less likely to seek medical help…可知那些神经质的人则不太情愿寻求医疗帮助，故填reluctant/ unwilling。

【10】

句意归纳题。从第五段…you can turn to your health care professional and come up with a plan to minimize the dangers(你可以向你的医疗专业人员寻求帮助，并想出一个将危险降到最低的计划)…可知,要向你的医疗专业人员咨询请教，故填Consult。
