    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.

(1)、The writer mentioned _____ sleeping position(s) in the passage.
A、one B、two C、three D、four
(2)、The underlined word "sensitive" in Para. 2 means "_______".
A、脆弱的 B、敏感的 C、果断的 D、热心的
(3)、Tim is a log sleeper, and he may _______.
A、be worried and may care about details (细节) B、like keeping quiet when he stays with his friends C、face the pressure he has bravely D、be easy to go with the flow.
(4)、Which is not TRUE according to the passage?
A、most people have the same sleeping position in their lives. B、the fetal position is the most common sleeping position. C、the log sleepers are relaxed but easily believe lie-tellers. D、soldier sleepers lie on backs with hands behind the head.
(5)、What's the best title for the passage?
A、Different Sleeping Positions B、Sleeping Positions And Personalities C、Healthy Sleeping Positions D、Sleeper's Personal Life

Hi Li Ming,

l just start my life at a new school. Yesterday, I found that we all have to do sports on Wednesday afternoons. As you know, I'm not interested in sports. Now I need to choose one event from volleyball, tennis and running, but I have never tried any of them. Have you done any of these? Which is the easiest? Which do you think I should choose? Can you give me some advice please?

Write soon.

He Wei

Hi He Wei,

In my opinion(看法), l think you needn't worry too much about doing any sports. Anyway, just remember that doing sports is a great way to make friends, so it should be a positive(积极的) experience in the end!

I've played a lot of tennis, and learning it takes plenty of time. It's very hard, so perhaps I advise you to do something else. I think running is a little boring, and you need to keep practicing it every day. For that reason, you'd better avoid it.

Why don't you take up volleyball? I suggest a team sport because you'll surely meet lots of people. And it is a good thing for you at a new school. Also, unlike tennis and running, it is not so difficult to learn volleyball. You can also have fun even if you don't play it very well.
Good luck with everything! Hope my advice can help you.

Most people think martial arts(武术) are all about kicking, punching(用拳打) and fighting. But China's taijiquan, also known as tai chi, is the other way around. It is slow, calm, and peaceful. 

UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) recently added tai chi to its Intangible Cultural Heritage List(非物质文化遗产名录). Although tai chi is an ancient martial art, it is still quite popular today. It has over 100 million fans in more than 150 countries. 

People do tai chi as a way to stay fit. Unlike other exercise, it is "soft"—the muscles are relaxing, the joints(关节) are not fully bent(弯曲的), and you don't need to stretch(拉伸) too much. This means many can do it. You can practise it almost anytime and anywhere without anything. It is believed that practising tai chi can help us have better control of our bodies so that we can stand, walk and run better. 

But tai chi's benefits go beyond physical health. Marleni Calcina, a Peruvian woman who has practised tai chi for more than 10 years, says it's not only a sport, but also a way of life. Tai chi has taught her the value of living more slowly. 

Life and work used to stress her out. But she began to feel a change thanks to tai chi, which helped her get peace and inner harmony(内心的和谐). She told Xinhua, "For me now, practising tai chi is like speaking with my soul(灵魂). "

If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a clever person.

A team of scientists did research on 33 people who were getting better from heart problems after receiving medical care. They found those people exercised while listening to music. The Four Seasons did much better on language ability(能力)tests than without music. Doctors also use it on people who have had head hurts because it has a beautiful melody.

"Exercise seems to cause changes in the nerve(神经) system and these changes may improve the learning ability of people with heart problems," said Charles Emery. "And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together," he added.

The people said they felt better emotionally and physically after exercising with or without music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have showed that music can be good for health and education. It helps reduce stress and sadness, encourage relaxation or sleep, wake up the body and improve memory and thoughts.

Scientists have been studying the results of exercise to music on learning and understanding since the early 1950s. A study showed that students who listened to Mozart's violin pieces and exercised went on to get higher marks in an IQ test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music or play sports. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.
