• 8．阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题纸指定区域作答。
      If you feel like you may be a people-pleaser，you're not alone.In today's highly-connected world，we have a growing obsession （痴迷） with being liked and needing to please others.People seek to please others for various reasons，including avoiding conflicts，securing feelings of being needed，and reducing fears of abjye.aionment.And they are forced to use agreeableness as self-defense.
      People-pleasing behavior can lead to mental and physical health problems such as fear of rejection，frustration，anger，addictions，headaches，stomach problems，and high blood pressure.It can also result in weak boundaries，problems with decision-making and dependency.Therefore，it's important to recognize and overcome your own people-pleasing behaviors.Here are some simple exercises that you can start working on today.
      Learn to love your own company.Trust that people will not abandon you，even if you don't drop everything for them.Believing you are lovable for who you are，not what you do，means knowing that people will still be there for you even if you do not always search for ways to please them.Practice this by going to a movie or restaurant alone.
      Value the plans made with yourself.They are as important as plans you make with other people.Otherwise，you are sending a message to your brain that a plan you make with yourself does not hold as much value.Don't break long- or short-term plans you make with yourself，whether it's going to the gym or studying for an exam.
      Say"no"when necessary.If you're a people-pleaser，you may find it hard to say"no"because you feel it comes across as cruel or uncaring.But it absolutely does not have to.Be clear，be direct，and use "I"statements.Try statements like："I would really love to be able to help you，but unfortunately，I'm already committed at that time."By consistently integrating these strategies into your life，you'll break your people-pleasing habits and develop more healthy，interdependent relationships.
  
  （1）What is a people-pleaser like？

  
  （2）Besides mental and physical problems，what other problems may a people-please r suffer from？

  
  （3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
  If you don't want to be a people-pleaser，you should love being with others，value the plans made with yourself，and decline others' requests when necessary.

  
  （4）What do you think of the behavior of pleasing others？ （In about 40 words）
