Question

    Everyone has got two personalities (性格) -- 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 behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people change their positions often. 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 person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You are very stubborn( 顽固的), but you aren’t very ambitious. You usuallylive for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.

If you sleep on 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 worried, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think, even if it annoys people.

【解析】

文章大意：每个人都有两种性格——一种是展现给世界的，另一种是神秘而真实的。当你醒着的时候，你不会表现出你的秘密个性，因为你可以控制你的行为，但是当你睡着的时候，你的睡姿会表现出真正的你。文章中作者通过分析人们睡觉的不同姿势，告诉我们人们的不同个性。

1.细节理解题。根据but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. 但是当你睡着的时候，你的睡姿会展现出真正的你。可知在睡觉的时候，你才能自然地展现出你的秘密和真实的个性。故答案选B。

2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的内容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…….如果你仰卧而睡，说明你是个心胸开阔的人。你通常信任别人，你很容易受到时尚或新思想的影响。结合选项，可知A、B、D选项本段都有提到，但C选项“他或她总是很容易心烦意乱。”本段中并没有提及，故答案选C。

3.细节理解题。根据If you sleep on your side, ……You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried,如果你侧卧着睡，……你处事比较谨慎，你有自信的个性，你有时会感到担心。你总是想说什么就说什么，即使这会惹恼别人。可知侧睡的人自信、谨慎、有时会很感到担心，所以A、B、D选项均是侧睡的特点，但C选项“害羞”不是侧睡的特点，故答案选C。

4.理解判断题。根据If you sleep on curled up , you are probably a very nervous person…..You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own.如果你蜷缩着睡觉，你可能是一个非常紧张的人。……你很害羞，通常不喜欢见人。你更喜欢一个人呆着。可知蜷缩着睡觉的人总是很紧张，不喜欢接触人，更喜欢独处，很难相处。结合选项可知A选项“他/她宁愿一个人也不愿和你交流。”符合题意，故答案选A。
