【阅读理解】篇目 06 SBTI人格测试：年轻人的趣味自嘲与减压新方式

📖 【文章研读】

In recent years, MBTI has become very popular. But in 2026, a new online test called SBTI — short for "Silly Personality Test" — has changed the way Chinese people describe their personality types.

Unlike MBTI, which divides people into sixteen personality types, SBTI is not based on any psychological principles (心理学原理) at all, and it has eleven more personality types than the number of types in the MBTI. After completing the SBTI test, people do not receive a serious personality type but a funny one, which helps them see themselves in a humorous way. Here are some of the SBTI personality types:

【SOLO】 It describes people who prefer to be alone. They don't like depending on others. They always say, "I do just fine on my own."

【ATM-er】 It describes people who can't say "no" to spending money. They always pay for others or buy useless things. Their wallet never stays full for long.

【OH-NO!】 It describes people who always feel worried before anything happens. The first thing they say in any situation is "Oh no!", even when things are fine.

【MUM】 It describes people who always take care of others. They give love, advice, and comfort freely to others, but hardly ask for anything in return.

Actually, MBTI and SBTI are also very different in terms of test results. MBTI has a fixed (固定的) set of questions and stable (稳定的) results, while SBTI is very different. SBTI has about 30 questions, which take only a few minutes to finish. The same person can even get three different types in one day.

For young people, this change means a lot. In a world full of pressure, SBTI offers them a humorous way to understand themselves and reduce stress.

【阅读理解】篇目 07 2026热词“奥德赛时期”：在人生转折期探寻内心的方向感

📖 【文章研读】

I still remember the last geography lesson before the gaokao. After giving us her final tips, Ms. Zhu closed her book and looked at us thoughtfully. "I hope that you've learned more than just how to prepare for exams over these years. After all, the gaokao is not an end, but a new start."

Ms. Zhu then talked about a geography term: orientation. In geography, orientation matters a lot. Explorers must always know where they are and where they are heading. "The same is true with life: always be sure about what you have achieved and what you want next."

Although I didn't fully understand then, her words left a lasting impression. Looking back, I realize that this sense of orientation has guided me whenever I feel lost.

Many people feel nervous when they move from one stage of life to another. For example, should I try to enter a top high school far away or an average one nearby? Should I join a summer camp or just finish my homework and relax?

These difficult times are now called the "Odyssey Years (奥德赛时期)" — life stages when people are not sure where they are heading. In the Greek poem The Odyssey, the hero Odysseus tried very hard for ten years to return home after the war. He had to pass the dangerous sea creatures (生物) called Sirens and was stuck on an island for years. Odysseus had moments of doubt, faced hard choices and felt alone at times, like many people now experiencing their "Odyssey Years." Yet Odysseus always knew where he wanted to go — home — and kept moving. His orientation and determination carried him through.

As the future becomes uncertain, it's natural to feel nervous or lost. At such times, try to build a sense of orientation. Ask yourself: What have I achieved? What do I want next? Then, keep moving forward.

✍️ 【试题专练】

1. What does the word "orientation" mean in the second paragraph?   A. A feeling of fear and doubt.   B. A summer study trip after the gaokao.   C. A difficult journey full of challenges.   D. A clear sense of your situation and next goal.

2. What does "Odyssey Years" now refer to?   A. The first ten years after the gaokao.   B. The years when everything goes perfectly.   C. The ten years of returning home after the war.   D. The time when people feel lost about life choices.

3. Why does the writer mention the hero Odysseus?   A. To tell what happened to Odysseus after the war.   B. To show even a hero can feel lost during difficult times.   C. To explain where the name "Odyssey Years" comes from.   D. To prove the challenges he faced were bigger than the gaokao.

4. How does the writer develop the passage?   A. By connecting a personal story to a bigger idea.   B. By listing different examples during the "Odyssey years."   C. By raising questions about life choices and answering them.   D. By comparing the writer's experience with Odysseus's journey.

5. What is the main purpose of the passage?   A. To describe the writer's geography teacher.   B. To explain why the Odyssey Years are difficult.   C. To advise readers to build a sense of orientation.   D. To compare the story of Odysseus with modern life.
