问题      Personality is to a large extent inherent—A type parents usually bring about a type offspring. But the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major fact or in the lives of their children.
     One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the win at all costs moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A types seem in some way better than their B type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Philippines, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying: "Rejoice, we conquer!"
     By far the worst form of competition in schools is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful. Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change into B’s. The world needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child’s personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.
     If the preoccupation of schools with academic work was lessened, more time might be spent teaching children surer values. Perhaps selection for the caring professions, especially medicine, could be made less by good grades in chemistry and more by such considerations as sensitivity and sympathy. It is surely a mistake to choose our doctors exclusively from A type stock. B’s are important and should be encouraged. [br] According to the passage B’s characteristic is suggested to be______.
选项
答案 sensitive and sympathetic
解析 推理判断题。全文都向我们展示A型学生的特点是富有竞争性，或比B型人强，由此可以推测B型人特点，尤其第四段中又给出这样一个例子Perhaps selection for caring professions, especially medicine, could be made less by good grades in chemistry and more by such considerations as sensitivity and sympathy.(也许在挑选护理人员，尤其是医务人员时，不要太看重化学考分，而应多考虑对人的敏感性和同情心。)“sensitivity and sympathy”应引起注意，因为这是与A型性格不同的。那么，继续看 It is surely a mistake to choose our doctors exclusively from A type stock. B’s are important and should be encouraged. (在选择医生时，一律只从A类型人中选显然是错误的，B类型人也能起非常重要的作用，并且应当被鼓励。)看到这儿，我们几乎可以肯定，sensitivity与sympathy是属于B型的了。但为了与问题相吻合，应该把名词改为形容词即可。
