这道题看起来有些抽象，但是旁观者清,只要大家想象下你们朋友的情况:你朋友的喜欢看的书和电影跟他们的实际情况有联系吗？ ‘ learn about another person’我们开始拆分来看，性格，兴趣，工作，这样一道抽象的题就变得具体了。 |

Agree： 性格其实潜在地影响人看的书和电影的类型，所以反过来，从这些中也能反映出一个人的部分性格特点，至少从他从来不看的书本和电影类型中。例如一般文静的人不喜欢看节奏很快的武侠类，活泼的人不喜欢看基调沉重的文艺类。 一个人的兴趣爱好也能体现出来。现在的书籍和电影十分五花八门，那些跟他的兴趣爱好相关的电影总能在最初就抓住他的眼球。例如喜欢天文科幻的人，找电影书籍时总是先找‘科幻’标签的；喜欢汽车的人，买的最多的可能就是汽车杂志，喜欢的电影一般也是看类似‘速度与激情’这类的；喜欢足球和篮球的人，看的最多的就是比赛。 通过书籍可以窥见一个人的工作领域。因为在现代社会技能要求高，而且知识更新快，所以为了防止被淘汰，人们都无法避免的要去看书扩充专业知识。例如律师看新的法律，技术人员看新的程序，老师更新看书课件防止学生无趣等等。 |

Spending a significant amount of time with someone is necessary to get to know their personalities and temperaments. Sometimes, people can also tell a person’s quality and determine his or her personality by analyzing their behaviors. When it comes to the question of whether one can learn about another person from the books or movies that the person likes, I personally am in favor of this statement based on the following reasons.
First off, by judging from the books or movies or even TV programs that someone like we can tell a person’s interests and hobbies, consequently we can learn more about them. For example, My roommate back in college was really into auto magazines, TV shows and even movies featuring fancy sports cars. At first, I didn’t know him so well to know his hobbies and interests, however, I was sure at that time that he must have been a big fan of cars. Indeed, my judgment was right and he was a car freak, he likes all kinds of vehicles like sedan, SUV, recreational vehicles, etc. It is not an exaggeration to claim that he can tell not only the brand but also the version of a specific vehicle by just checking out the picture of the cockpit of the car. Ultimately, we can tell a person’s hobbies by the movies and books they like.
Additionally, the genre of the books that someone reads says a lot about the person’s character and temperament. Actually, it is natural for someone to shape their characters just because the characters in the novels or movies have a dramatic impact on the person’s behavior and attitude, regardless of the types of the characters like fairy, alien or someone with superpower. For instance, girls who read a lot of romantic novels like Gone With the Wind might be very emotional and very committed to someone they love. For someone who read science fiction novels or watch movies featuring future events and exploration of outer space tend to be very creative and willing to take risks, to be more specific, they might be someone who friends can depend on when they got stuck in some sort of exploration.
For someone who likes to read classics of all times like the works by Jane Austen or Ernest Hemingway, they tend to cherish the simplicities and trivialities in lives.
In a nutshell, by judging from the genre of the book that someone reads, not only can we tell a lot about the person’s interests and hobbies but also the person's character and temperament.

In the lecture, the professor refutes against the view raised in the reading that the ancestor mammals in Madagascar were from Africa by crossing the sea.
Firstly, the reading holds that the situation where mammals can cross the ocean is very accidental, except in the extreme weather conditions such as tempest, which is still a harsh suffering for the animals to survive. Thus, the group migration is more impossible. However, the professor refutes that it is found that all the animals in Madagascar only have four ancestors dating back to 40 million years ago, which offers them sufficient time and opportunities to flow to Madagascar.
Secondly, the reading claims that the direction of ocean current near the Africa coast is not towards Madagascar. The floating mammals will be carried away from Madagascar by the current. But the professor disagrees with this by suggesting that the direction of the current 40 million years ago was different from that of now. Besides, the location of Africa and Madagascar is also changed now. So it is very likely that the ocean current near the Africa coast can carry the animals towards Madagascar.
Finally, in the reading passage, it indicates that the distance between Africa and Madagascar is very faraway, so the time that it takes to float to Madagascar is very long, which means the animals are prone to starve to death and die of thirst due to lack of freshwater. In contrast, the professor holds mammals can use torpor when they need to rest, they do not need to drink or eat when they are in the torpor with low rate of metabolism.
