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.

    I have a nice family. My parents love me very much. I have no {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（兄弟）and no sisters. but I have some cousins. This is Kate. She is my {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（叔叔的）daughter. She is a nurse（护士）. She likes{#blank#}3{#/blank#}（蓝色）, and her room is always very {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（整洁的）. She has a cat Mimi. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（是）she and her cat in the room now? No, they are in the kitchen. And this is John. He is my aunt's son. He likes {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（模型）planes very much. They are{#blank#}7{#/blank#}（到处）.Tom is my aunt's son, too. He is a middle school student. He often helps me with my study. I {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（感谢）him very much for his help. Where is{#blank#}9{#/blank#}（他们的）mother? Oh, she is playing computer games. Two {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（手表）are on the desk, too.

    Gordon stands in the hallway(走廊). No one is there. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} It's 8: 10 a. m. He is late for class. He has to go to the music room, but he doesn't know where it is.

    He knows the music room isn't on the first floor. His classroom is on the first floor. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} He knows he has to walk quickly. The teacher will be worried(担心的).

    Gordon goes to the second floor and he turns(转弯) to the right. He goes down the hallway. On the left, he sees a door. "It may be the music room," he thinks. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} A young teacher is in it. Gordon asks the teacher, "Sorry, I'm new here. Do you know where the music room is?"

    "Sure," the teacher says. "It's on the third floor. Go upstairs and turn left. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} That is the music room. "

    Gordon thanks her and goes upstairs. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} "There you are!" Mr. Lewis says. "Your music teacher Mrs. Green asks me to find you." Gordon says, "I find you first!"

    "How can I improve my English?" Alot of my students have been asking me about this same question again andagain.1 the answer won't be suitable for everyone, I'mstill going to tell you some of my experience. I hope that you will improveyour English learning skills.

    One thingI can tell you is that, once you start learning, you should try to think inEnglish as

   2as you can. If you seesomething when you're riding your bike or walking down the street, just3"How would I say them inEnglish?" At first, you may think with simple words but later with longersentences. Now I'm in America, and for4thetime, I would think in English and  speak it directly. It's amazing how much this helps.

    WhenI started learning, I was5 afraid of talking with others in Englishbecause I didn't want to make mistakes. Finally, I had a chance to6. And while traveling inAmerica, I'd try to hang out with American friends,7 I'd have no choice but to speak English. Also,I decided if I said anything stupid and other people would look8 me, then so be it. After that, my English startedto9 much more quickly.

    Besides,it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you're writing,and give you some10 for improvement.

Could you spend 24 bours without the Internet? I'm not sure how I'd deal with it. These days we all depend heavily on technology, you may or may not be surprised by the results of some recent research about the effects of online and digital （数字的） technology on people's lives. More than half of the people who were questioned said they'd feel "upset" without an Internet connection even for a brief period of time, which is, about 15-30 minutes when they were away from the Internet. 

The scientists also challenged people to spend one whole day without using technology and then report back on what it was like. Some people were surprised that they could not even turn their phones to silent. Nearly fifty percent of them said they felt lonely when they weren't using social media. According to the research, it is harder for the younger people to give up technology. They said that the modern technology has already become a part of their lives. However, there are about 25% of people actually said they felt freer without an Internet connection. It meant they found time to do something they wouldn't usually do such as reading a novel. Some of them said they enjoyed spending more time talking to family and friends face to face. 

So, what about you? As a middle school student, could you take the Internet challenge and spend 24 hours without going online? Or would it be a bad dream for you? Here we have different opinions from Chinese students aged from 12-16, maybe they'll be able to help you with your Internet use.
