According to body language expert Robert Phipps, the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have. Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality.
- 2 -
Phipps found that worriers, those who stress the most, tend to sleep in the fetal (胎儿的) position. He found that this is the most common bedtime position, with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down. The more we curl up (蜷曲), the more comfort we are seeking, according to Phipps. The second most common position is the log. Sleeping with a straight body, with arms at each side, as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace, indicates stubbornness, and these people (the 28 percent who sleep this way) often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep.
“The longer you sleep like this, the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself,” according to Phipps. Yearner(向往)sleepers are next on the list. About 25 percent of people sleep in this style—on their side with arms stretched out in front, looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves. Yearners are typically their own worst critics, always expecting the best results, explained Phipps. These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead. Perhaps the most peculiar (奇怪的) of sleep styles is the freefaller position. This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population. They sleep face down with arms stretched out. These people, according to Phipps, feel like they have little control over their life. Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles, but also the least comfortable, and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.
In conclusion, Phipps has only one more thing to add: “A good night’s sleep set you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”

22. The underlined word “rigid” is closest in meaning to ______. A. stubborn B. flexible C. comfortable D. strange

B. The log position.
C. The yearner position. D. The freefaller position. 24. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? CP: Central Point P: Point SP: Sub-point C: Conclusion
B
John Sand was one of the most influential teachers, and people, I have ever met. Having him for two years during high school, for both history and study hall, he taught me more than any other teacher has been able to.
His unusual attitude reflects his methods of teaching. He was constantly trying to push us out of our comfort zones with video projects we did about once a month. He wanted us to face, and accept how other people saw us to prepare us for the real world. He was always making colorful Power Points to teach us the latest topic instead of standing in front of us lecturing for a period, putting us to sleep like many teachers do. He did not give us homework one day and have it due the next, but instead gave us a schedule of the homework for the section and left the responsibility up to us to remember to do it. Having that prepares us for life after high school, life less structured(有条不紊的), where the responsibility is all on us.
Mr Sand is a responsible family man. He took whatever time we had left in class to show us his newest vacation videos or his children’s sports videos. He balances his family and his career so nicely.
Mr Sand always encouraged us to explore the cultures of the world. He would tell us stories of his travels across Europe and his adventures around the US, while many

teachers just force the idea of college.
Many people may not ever get to have the experience of having Mr Sand as a teacher or ever be affected by him like I was but for them, I feel sorry. Putting aside that he was my teacher, he was one person who influenced me greatly and taught me things that went beyond the school courses.
25. According to the writer, why was John Sand different from other teachers? A. He never gave homework to his students.
B. He clearly knew what his students would be like in the future. C. He always made his classes lively and interesting.
D. He often encouraged his students to face the real world bravely.
26. Which of the following shows that the writer was greatly affected by Mr. Sand? A. He realizes what makes an excellent teacher.
B. He has the courage to take great adventures like other teachers. C. He feels more confident within comfort zones. D. He knows how to deal with life after high school. 27. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. An outstanding teacher. B. A valuable experience of schooling. C.A kind family man, and a father.
C
Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relieve these experiences in nightmares(噩梦). Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out.
