C) Reading Comprehension

5- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Everyone is individual and different. In the same way as everyone's fingerprints are unique, so is everyone's personality. We can usually see people's personality in the clothes they wear, or how they look after their things, or how they behave with other people. When we say that we know someone well, what we really mean is that we can make accurate guesses about what that person will do or think. We know the different features of their personality. These features are called "personality traits".
(16)

Psychologists think that we have "central personality traits". These affect how we behave, and how we react to people and situations. Examples of central personality traits are friendliness, neatness, competitiveness, shyness and optimism. This means that generally a person will be friendly or shy, neat or untidy, optimistic or pessimistic in different situations. Some psychologists think that we inherit these central traits from our family and that they usually stay with us all our life.
Psychologists say that we also have "secondary traits", connected with the things we prefer, such as our favourite food, music, films or colours. These can change as we get older, but very often many of them stay the same all our lives. For example, when we are adults we may buy clothes the same colour that we liked when we were children.

On leaving, Mrs Magda gave instructions to the new baby-sitter, whose main work was to look after the baby. The baby-sitter had never done this work before and Mrs Magda was a little bit anxious. “Make yourself comfortable, Soha.” Mrs Magda said. “I’ve prepared a tray of food and fruit for you. You can listen to the radio or watch TV, but don’t have it on too loud because it might wake the baby. Sound moves terribly in this house. If the boy wakes up, go to his room and stay with him there until he goes back to sleep. Anyway, he is two years old, so you wouldn’t have any trouble. My husband and I will be back at about five o’clock.”
Mr Kamal and his wife Magda returned rather later than they had expected. They heard the sound of TV. A light was still on in the living room. Their little baby was crying loudly. His face was covered with tears. Mr Kamal switched off the TV. Mrs Magda went to the living room immediately and came out holding the baby who was very hungry.
“What is she doing there? Where is Soha? She is fast asleep. She has eaten all the food here!”.
