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 behavior, 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(顽固的), but you aren’t very ambitious. You’re 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.

【解析】

试题分析：每个人都有两种性格--一种是外在的，另一种是内在的。当人醒着的时候，内在的性格特点不会显露出来。一个人的睡姿可以显示出他的内在性格特点。

1.细节理解题。根据第一段最后“You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake...but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you”可知，人在睡着之后才会显露出真实的性格，故选B。

2.细节理解题。根据第二段“you’re a very open person...You normally trust people...you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people”，可知，A、B、D与文章相符，C项与文意相反，故选C。

3.推理判断题。第三段中“You’re very stubborn(顽固的), but you aren’t very ambitious.”和“You usually live for today not for tomorrow”可知，喜欢趴着睡觉的人没有雄心壮志，只贪图眼前的享受，因此难以有所成就。故选C。

4.推理判断题。根据第四段“You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people.”可知，喜欢蜷缩着睡觉的人害羞，不喜欢与人交流，难以与人相处，故选A。

5.推理判断题。根据第五段“You know your strengths and weaknesses.”和“You have a confident personality. ”可知，侧着睡的人心理素质好，清楚的知道自己的优缺点，坚持正确的主张而不是固执。故选B。
