Question

Whether it’s curled up(蜷缩) in the fetal position(胎儿状姿势), flat on the stomach or straighten your body across the bed, the way people sleep shows their personality(个性), a British sleep expert said.

Professor Chris Idzikowski, director of the Sleep Assessment at the University in Southern England, has discovered six common sleep positions and what they mean.

Bended in the fetal position is the most popular sleep pattern and loved by 51 percent of women, according to the results of the study he carried out for a large hotel group. Fetal sleepers tend to be shy and sensitive(敏感的). People, who have the soldier position—flat on their back with arms at their sides, are quiet and unfriendly.

Sleeping on one’s side with legs outstretched(伸长) and arms down, is a sign of social, easy-going personality. But if the arms are outstretched, the person tends to be more disbelieving.

The freefall, flat on the stomach with the hands at the sides of the head, is the most unusual position. Only 6. 5 percent of people prefer it and they are usually in a hurry and sociable.

Modest, good listeners usually sleep in the starfish position—on the back with outstretched arms and legs.

Idzikowski, who discovered the positions by comparing personality of people, their preferred way of sleeping and the most common positions, said once a sleeping way is formed it is hardly ever changed.

“What’s interesting is that the profile(形象) behind the position is often very different from what we would expect, ”he added in a statement.

1题从第一段the way people sleep shows their personality可知1题选C项。 2题同属于细节题，文中People, who have the soldier position—flat on their back with arms at their sides, are quiet and unfriendly给出了2题的答案，选A项，注意同义词互换。 3题最后一段Idzikowski是说明人睡觉的时候很难控制自己的睡姿，故3题选B。 4题是主旨题，本文题目第一段就已经给出，选C项。
