    When you're closing your eyes and hitting your pillow, you're probably not giving much thought about the sleeping position throughout the night. Most people don't change their sleeping positions throughout their lives. The following is why you might want to pay more attention: Your sleeping position can actually say a bit about who you are and what your personality is like.

    There are many sleeping positions. The fetal (胎儿的) sleeping position is generally the most common sleeping position. Fetal sleepers sleep on their side, they move into a position in which their body makes a rounded shape. People who sleep in the fetal position are often quite sensitive and generally shy. They are often worried or nervous and don't focus their attention on the main problem, but get into trouble on very small pieces of information.

    The log (木头) sleeper rests on the side with a straight body when hands and legs are kept at the sides. These sleepers are often relaxed, but also can easily believe lie-tellers. If you're a log sleeper, you might want to keep in mind that it's good to be easy-going and have less stress, but don't be so quick to go with the flow (流) at all times.

    The third one is the soldier position. Soldier sleepers typically lie on their backs with both arms close to their sides. In general, they are the strong and silent type. However, they can also put the pressure on. "They can be quite strict with themselves as well as others," a scientist added.

Most students find it d{#blank#}1{#/blank#}to lear n English well. They have so many problems when they are learning English. In fact, it's easy to learn it well if you follow my a{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. First, try to p{#blank#}3{#/blank#} the words c{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. It is very important for you to i{#blank#}5{#/blank#} your pronunciation. Then, you'd better read English as loudly as you can. You must read English every day and try to speak English more often. Just as the saying goes, "P{#blank#}6{#/blank#} makes perfect." So don't be s{#blank#}7{#/blank#} to speak to foreigners. Well, how to improve other skills like reading and listening? We usually feel it very difficult to follow the foreigners when we speak to them. It's impossible to u{#blank#}8{#/blank#} all the words. They usually speak so fast. We should catch the k{#blank#}9{#/blank#} words or the main ideas. And doing more reading every day is also the b{#blank#}10{#/blank#} thing you need to do.

According to the Chinese lunar calendar* , 12 animals mark 12 different years-rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pip. Your year of birth decides your zodiac. Some people believe that people born under the same zodiac share similar characteristics*. Here are some zodiac signs and their characteristics. 

The ox is the second animal in the Chinese zodiac. In one folk story(民间传说), all of the animals held a race to choose the 12 animals of the zodiac. The ox was in the first place. But it didn't see a rat on its back. When the ox was close to the finishing line, the rat jumped down and became the winner!It is believed that people born in the Year of the Ox are patient and hard-working! But they can be stubborn* sometimes. 

It is said that people born in the Year of the Dragon are creative, confident, outgoing and quick-tempered(性急的). They also like to help others. They're warm-hearted so that they may have many friends. 

Chinese people believe that those who are born in the Year of the Rooster are active. They also like to be the center of attention and always look beautiful. They are the happiest when they are surrounded by others, whether at a party or just around friends. 

Over the last few years, my family and I have been working towards a greener life. My mum and dad1 less and often take a bus to work. We recycle things like old paper, cans and bottles, and we give2 clothes and furniture to people who need them. In order to save energy, we3 the lights during the day. We also try to use less water by turning off the tap（水龙头）while we brush our teeth, and reusing the washing machine water to clean the toilet. Taking4 showers will help too, as it will save water. Every member of our family will take part. 

Saving the planet needs everyone's5 . Although each one of us may only do a little, together we can make a big difference. Let's work together to make our planet a better place to live.
