Question

Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real．You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behaviour，but when you're asleep， your sleeping position shows the real you．In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their position．The important position is the one that you go to sleep in．

If you go to sleep on your back，you're a very open person．You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas．You don't like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings．You're quite shy and you aren't very confident．

If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive（不坦率的）person．You worry a lot and you're always easily upset．You're very stubborn（頑固的），but you aren't very ambitious．You usually live for today not for tomorrow．This means that you enjoy having a good time．

If you sleep curled up（卷曲），you are probably a very nervous person．You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive．You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people．You prefer to be on your own．You're easily hurt．

If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well-balanced personality．You know your strengths and weaknesses．You're usually careful． You have a confident personality．You sometimes feel anxious，but you don't often get depressed．You always say what you think even if it annoys people．

試題分析：本文講述了人的睡眠姿勢反應出他的個人性格，列舉了多種睡覺的姿勢和性格的關系。

1.B 細節題。根據文章3，4行，but when you're asleep， your sleeping position shows the real you．說明在睡覺的時候，人們會暴露出他們本來的性格。故B正確。

2.C 細節題。根據第二段you're a very open person和You don't like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings．You're quite shy and you aren't very confident．都說明ABD項是正確的，C項內容沒有提及。故C符合題目要求。

3.D 推理題。根據第三段2,3行You're very stubborn（頑固的），but you aren't very ambitious．You usually live for today not for tomorrow說明這樣的人安于現狀，沒有雄心壯志，那么是不會去的很大的成功的。故D項與這類人相符。

4.A 細節題。根據第四段2,3行You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people．You prefer to be on your own．說明這樣的人喜歡獨處，不愿意與別人交往，那么我們是不會喜歡和這樣的人交朋友的。故A項正確。
