If it was something along the lines of law or business, you might want to look away now. Thats because according to new research, whi

17、ch has found a link between our university subjects and our personalities, you have selfish, uncooperative tendencies and are not very in touch with your feelings. On the plus side, youre probably the life and soul of a party, the findings suggest.Researchers analyzed data from more than 13,000 univ

18、ersity students who were involved in 12 separate studies. From this, they discovered a correlation between the “Big Five” major personality traits and the subjects they were enrolled on.For example, those studying law, economics, political science and medicine tended to be much more outgoing than th

19、ose taking other subjects, the study found. But when it came to “agreeableness”the tendency towards being helpful, generous and consideratethe lawyers scored particularly low, as did business and economics students.Arts and humanities students， as well as those studying psychology and politics score

20、d highly for openness, meaning they were curious, imaginative and in touch with their inner feelings, while economists, engineers, lawyers and scientists scored comparatively low. However, the arts and humanities students also tended to be less conscientious and more nervous, typically exhibiting si

21、gns of anxiety and moodiness. Psychology students were not far behind arts and humanities students for these traits.Study author Anna Vedel， from the University of Aarhus in Denmark, said she was surprised by the results. “The effect sizes show that the differences found are not trivial, far from,”s

22、he said. “On the more humorous side they do confirm our more or less prejudicial stereotypes of the disturbed psychologist, the withdrawn natural scientist， the cynical economist.”And she said that the findings could help those school pupils who currently have no idea what to study at university, as

23、 well as helping academics to plan their lectures.“Im not arguing that these results should play a major role in either guidance or selection, but it might provide some inspiration for students that are in doubt about study choices and want to make a choice based on more than abilities, for example,

24、” said Dr Vedel. “Or teachers might better understand their student population.”21.The first paragraph implies that law or business students may.A.be amused by the researchB.be interested in the researchC.dislike the researchD.enjoy the research22.According to the research, law students scored parti

27、micallyD.school pupils go to better universitiesPassage TwoAlphaGos victory over Go（围棋） champion Lee Se dol reportedly shocked artificial intelligence experts, who thought such an event was 10 to 15 years away. But if the timing was a surprise, the outcome was not. On the contrary, it was inevitable

28、 and entirely foreseeable.Playing complex games is precisely what computers do supremely well. Just as they beat the world champions at checkers(跳棋)and then chess, they were destined to beat the champion at Go. Yet I dont believe, as some do, that human defeats like this one presage an era of mass u

29、nemployment in which awesomely able computers leave most of us with nothing to do. Advancing technology will profoundly change the nature of highvalue human skills and that is threatening, but we arent doomed.The skills of deep human interaction, the abilities to manage the exchanges that occur only

30、 between people, will only become more valuable. Three of these skills stand out: The first, the foundation of the rest, is empathy, which is more than just feeling someone elses pain. Its the ability to perceive what another person is thinking or feeling, and to respond in an appropriate way.The se

31、cond is creative problem solving in groups. Research on group effectiveness shows that the key isnt team cohesion or motivation or even the smartest members IQ; rather, its the social sensitivity of the members, their ability to read one another and keep anyone from dominating.The third critical abi

32、lity, somewhat surprisingly, is storytelling, which has not traditionally been valued by organizations. Charts, graphs and data analysis will continue to be important, but thats exactly what technology does so well. To change peoples minds or inspire them to act, tell them a story.These skills, though basic to our humanity, are fundamentally different from the skills that have been the basis of economic progress for most
