10、 personality they have. Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality. Phipps found that worriers，those who stress the most, tend to sleep in the fetal(胎儿的)position. He found that this is the most common bedtime position, with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their sid

11、e with knees up and head down. The more we curl up(蜷曲), the more comfort we are seeking, according to Phipps. The second most common position is the log. Sleeping with a straight body，with arms at each side, as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace，indicates stubbornness, and these people

12、(the 28 percent who sleep this way) often wake up stiffer(僵直的) than when they went to sleep. “The longer you sleep like this，the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself,” according to Phipps. Yearner (向往型) sleepers are next on the li

13、st. About 25 percent of people sleep in this styleon their side with arms stretched out in front, looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves. Yearners are typically their own worst critics, always expecting the best results，explained Phipps. These people often w

14、ake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead. Perhaps the most peculiar(奇怪的) of sleep styles is the freefaller position. This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population. They sleep face down with arms stretched out. These people, according to Phipps, feel like they have

15、little control over their life. Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles, but also the least comfortable, and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy. In conclusion, Phipps has only one more thing to add: “A good nights sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping posit

16、ions can determine how we feel when we wake.”21Which of the following is the best title of the passage? AA Good Nights Sleep Sets You Up for the Following Day BYour Personality Depends a Lot on How You Sleep at Night CHow You Sleep at Night Affects What You Do the Next Day DWhich Sleeping Position H

17、elps You Sleep Comfortably22Which of the following pictures is the fetal position?23The underlined word “rigid” is closest in meaning to “_” Astubborn Bflexible Ccomfortable Dstrange24Which sleeping position indicates that the sleeper tends to seek perfection? AThe fetal position. BThe log position.

18、 CThe yearner position. DThe freefaller position.25Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? CP：Central P：PointSp：Subpoint C：Conclusion B Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But

19、 it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restles

20、s kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise.

21、I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hou

22、r, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. Theyd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs fol

23、lowing their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons(见识)We eventually arrived at my parents doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining(管教)

24、 technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a

25、 world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of journeyand the best part of yourself.26.

28、ut of NecessityD. Road Trip and Country LifeC People who play computer games to train their brains might as well be playing Super Mario, new research suggests. In a six-week study, experts found people who played online games designed to improve their cognitive(认知的) skills didnt get any smarter. Res

29、earchers recruited(招募) participants from views of the BBCs science show Bang Goes the Theory. More than 8,600 people aged 18 to 60 were asked to play online brain games designed by the researchers to improve their memory, reasoning and other skills, for at least 10 minutes a day, three times a week.

30、 They were compared to more than 2,700 people who didnt play any brain games, but spent a similar amount of time surfing the Internet. All participants were given an “IQ test” before and after the experiment. Researchers said the people who did the brain training didnt do any better on the test afte

31、r six weeks than people who had simply been on the Internet. “If youre (playing these games) because theyre fun, thats absolutely fine,” said Adrian Owen, assistant director at Britains Medical Research Council, the studys lead author. “But if youre expecting these games to improve your IQ, our data suggests this isnt the case.” Computer games that are supposed to improve memory, reasoning and other cognitive skills are played by millions of people worldwide, though few studies have examined if the games work. “There is preci
