Everyone has two personalities(性格)-- one is showed to the world and the other is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control(控制) yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. And the important position that best shows your secret personality is when you go to sleep.

If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You usually believe people and you are easily influenced(影响) by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never show your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren’t very confident(自信的).

If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easy to be sad. You never want to change your ideas, and you are pleased with your life. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.

If you sleep on curled up(蜷缩),you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often don’t want to be hurt, so you are very defensive(有戒心的). You’re shy and you don’t like meeting people. You like to be alone.

If you sleep on your side, you usually have a well-balanced(平衡的)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 unhappy. You always say out what you think, even if it sometimes makes people angry.

When I was a boy, I belonged to the Boy Scouts (童子军), so I used to go camping every summer, and once something happened which I have never been able to explain.

We were camping in a place above a river. After arriving, we all rushed down to the river and had a swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded (环绕) by cliffs (悬崖). If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to walk past our camp.

Several days later, the scoutmaster had to be away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything.

We ate rather slowly, taking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river—we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.

An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep (悄悄移动) down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow, we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking everywhere carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.

When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted if we had seen the man, but finally suggested we go and look again. We did, but there was no one there.

Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not know.
