11．Imagine a world 400 years ago where children were used as chimney sweeps．The pay was low，it was a dirty trade and there was little reward for the men who did the job and even less for children．
Medway's annual Sweeps Festival recreates the joy and laughter enjoyed by the chimney sweeps at their traditional holiday：the one time of the year the sweeps could leave the soot（烟灰） behind and have some fun．The sweeps'holiday was traditionally held on 1 May each year．Locally，they used to mark the occasion by staging a procession through the streets of Rochester．
Their fun continued with the Jack-in-the-Green ceremony，a seven-foot character that they used to waken at dawn on Blue Bell Hill，Chatham．The Jack-in-the-Green would walk with the chimney sweeps in their parade．When the Climbing Boys'Act 1868 made it illegal to employ young boys to carry out the trade，the traditional procession gradually began to fade．The final May celebration was held in the early 1900s．
The modern day Rochester Sweeps Festival is a colorful mix of music，dancing and entertainment with more than 60 Morris sides and entertainers celebrating throughout the three-day festival．The festival was revived in 1981 by local businessman Gordon Newton，a keen historian．He decided it was time to bring it back and over the years he has helped develop the festival into what it is today-an excellent performance of traditional Britain．
Gordon researched the Sweeps'tradition and organized a small parade，involving local Morris teams．In time，Medway Council took over organization of the festival but Gordon remained actively involved．Today he is festival producer and plays melodeon（簧风琴） for several Morris teams．Doug Hudson is the festival's music director，a role he has held for many years．Through Gordon's vision and hard work，Doug's musical ability and the council's help，the Rochester Sweeps Festival has become the largest May Day celebration of its kind in the country．

If you sleep curled up，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．
