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 side 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(the 28 percent who sleep this way)often wake up stiffer 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 list.About 25 percent of people sleep in this style—on 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 wake 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 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 night"s sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”

解析
小题1:考查主旨大意。根据本文的主题句中的“the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have”可知, 本文主要讲的是“一个人晚上睡觉的姿势在很大程度上决定了这个人的个性特点”。
答案 B
小题2:考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down”可知,“胎儿睡姿” 的姿势是“侧躺,头朝下、膝盖往上蜷成一团”,故选D项。
答案 D
小题3: 考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“indicates stubbornness”和第四段中的“you can become inflexible”可推知,该词与A项意思最接近。
答案 A
小题4:考查文章结构。第一段是文章的主题段落,点出主题;第二段到第六段分别介绍了“胎儿睡姿”“树干睡姿”“向往型睡姿”和“自由落体睡姿”等四种不同的睡姿及其对应的个性类型;最后一段得出结论。由此可见A项表明了该篇文章的结构。
答案 A

举一反三
It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is,but if you want to save your friendship you"ll have to do just that.Don"t approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited),just take some time alone with them and let them know that you"ve been feeling like there"s been something coming between you.If they refuse to respond,then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling.Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.
When you figure out what is annoying your friend,ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better.If,for example,(s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn"t get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you.Remember,though,that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise.Don"t limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy.Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.
Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy.This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies.Before taking extreme action,chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.If you can"t,be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won"t.

A.normal | B.productive |

A.Walking up to him/her and asking him/her why he/she is jealous of you. |
B.Walking up to him/her and asking him/her what the problem is. |
C.Spending some time with him/her and letting him/her know how you feel. |
D.Spending some time with him/her and letting him/her know you think there"s something coming between you. |
A.to explain what causes jealousy |
B.to offer some advice on making friends |
C.to introduce the way to cope with a jealous friend |
D.to explain how destructive the jealous emotion is |
A.There"s always a solution to solve the problem of jealousy. |
B.Jealousy can turn best friends into worst enemies. |
C.You may lose a friend to keep your own gifts,chances or selfdevelopment. |
D.You should go a long way with your friend to work out a solution |

Staff member Tricia Cousins will teach the yoga and hip hop classes.Ms.Cousins is a skilled choreographer (舞蹈指导) as well as an experienced dance educator.She is a Master of Arts in dance education from Teachers College,Columbia University.The journaling class will be taught by Betsy Milford.Ms.Milford is the head librarian at the Allendale Public Library as well as a columnist(专栏作家) for the professional journal Library Focus.
The courses are part of the Allendale Cultural Center’s Project Teen,which was organized by Leah Martin,Director of the Cultural Center.According to Martin,this project is a direct result of her efforts to make the center a more necessary part of the Allendale community.Over the last several years,the number of people who have visited the cultural center for classes or events has steadily declined.Project Teen is primarily funded by the McGee Arts Foundation,an organization devoted to bringing arts programs to young adults.The other members of Project Teen are two students at Allendale’s Brookdale High School and three adults with backgrounds in education and the arts.
The creative journaling class will be cosponsored by Brookdale High School,and students who complete the class will be given the opportunity to publish one of their journal works in Pulse,Brookdale’s student literary magazine.Students who complete the hip hop class will be qualified to participate in the Allendale Review,an annual concert sponsored by the cultural center that features local actors,musicians,and dancers.
All classes are scheduled to begin immediately after school,and transportation will be available from Brookdale High School to the Allendale Cultural Center and the Allendale Public Library.For more information about Project Teen,contact the cultural center’s programming office at 9880099 or drop by the office after June 1 to pick up a fall course catalog.The office is located on the third floor of the Allendale Town Hall.

Food
Come mealtime,astronauts will have a special dining kitchen.Space food just keeps getting better—and more like food we enjoy here on Earth.In early space missions,astronauts could eat only freezedried food that didn’t require any preparation.But the space station is equipped with water,microwave ovens,and refrigerators,allowing the folks on board to eat more “normal” types of food,including fruit,vegetables,and ice cream!
Sleep
Each crew member has a private room.With no gravity,they’ll need to tie themselves to their beds,or they will float away!That might sound like a strange way to sleep,but astronauts from past space missions report that sleeping in space is actually pretty great!
Exercise
You might not think it,but exercise is even more important on the station than it is on Earth.There is not much gravity in space.Astronauts don’t stand up,sit down or walk in space,so their muscles and bones don’t have to work much—and this muscle and bone loss can be dangerous back on Earth.To fight this,astronauts on the station will exercise on bikes,rowing machines,and other equipment about two hours every day.
Clothing
Astronauts will have to wear special space suits while traveling aboard the U.S.shuttle or Russian rockets.But once they’re safe inside the space station,crew members can wear regular clothing.Of course,a specially designed,pressurized space suit is required for space walks.It has to withstand(经受住) flying pieces and protect the astronauts from dramatic temperature changes.It can range from 120 degrees below Fahrenheit in the shadow of the station to 250 degrees in the hot sun.
Personal Cleanliness
Simple tasks like brushing your teeth can be challenging in a weightless environment.A little water doesn’t flow in a stream—it suspends in a bubble!Astronauts will use a freshwater hose(软管) to take showers,shampoo,and wash off—then a second vacuum hose to suction(吸) off the dirty water.And how do you go to the bathroom in space?With a special “air toilet” that uses flowing air instead of water to dispose of waste.
小题1:The facts about life in space are all mentioned EXCEPT ________.
A.clothing | B.entertainment |
C.sleep | D.exercise |
A.The temperature is quite different in different places in space. |
B.Astronauts must wear special space suits all the time in space. |
C.Astronauts can wear regular clothing for space walks now. |
D.Astronauts wear pressurized space suits just to keep warm. |
A.It can make astronauts feel relaxed in space. |
B.It can help astronauts spend their spare time happily. |
C.Astronauts’ lives are more important in space than on earth. |
D.It can prevent astronauts from causing muscle and bone loss. |
A.Astronauts could eat apples in space in the past. |
B.Astronauts eat only fruit,vegetables and ice cream now. |
C.Fresh food isn’t available to astronauts in space. |
D.Space food is getting better now than before. |
Reading on the Internet has changed how we use our brains.Facing a lot of texts,video,music and links to other web pages and blogs,our minds have become used to skimming and scanning information.As a result,we have developed sharper skills at making fast decisions,particularly visual ones,Carr wrote.
But now most of us seldom read books or long articles that would help us focus.We are becoming more like librarians—able to find information quickly and see clearly the best nuggets(有价值的资料).That lack of focus hinders(阻碍) our longterm memory,leading many of us to feel distracted,he wrote.
“What we are losing is a whole other set of mental skills,which require not the shifting of our focus but the maintaining of our focus,” Carr said,adding that for centuries books protected our brains from distraction and focused our minds on one topic at a time.
But with devices such as Apple’s iPad becoming common,Carr predicts books also will change.“New forms of reading always require new forms of writing,” he said.Carr has a suggestion for those who feel web surfing has left them incapable of concentration—slow down,turn off the Internet and practice the skills of contemplation(沉思) and reflection.“It is pretty clear from the brain science that if you don’t exercise particular cognitive skills,you are going to lose them,” he said.“If you are constantly distracted,you are not going to think in the same way that you would think if you paid attention.”
小题1:What topic is Nicholas Carr’s new book mainly concentrating on?
A.Whether there is any need for us to surf the Internet. |
B.How the Internet changes our way of thinking. |
C.What we should do when we are surfing the Internet. |
D.Whether our minds are being influenced by the Internet. |
A.Anxious. | B.Relaxed. |
C.Concentrated. | D.Puzzled. |
A.prevents | B.causes |
C.protects | D.sharpens |
A.They should read more books besides surfing the Internet. |
B.They should often slow down their pace of modern living. |
C.They should often get away from the disturbing of the Internet. |
D.They should spend more time thinking while surfing the Internet. |
