Everyone has got two personalities (性格) -the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don't like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don't often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.

People at a book club in California, USA, spent a very long time reading a book. The book is Finnegans Wake by Irish writer James Joyce. It's famous as one of the most difficult books to read. It has strange words, jokes, and talks about many things in about 80 languages. People can't even agree on where the story happens or who the characters are. James Joyce once said people should spend their whole lives reading this book. Few people can completely understand it in a short time.
The club started the reading in 1995 and they read the last page of the book in October2023. That's to say, they spent 28 years reading the whole book.
Gerry Fialka, a person who makes movies, started this book club in 1995. They met every month, and at first, they read two pages of the book each time. Later, they slowed down and read just one page each time. It took them longer to finish the book than it took James Joyce to write it, 17 years! But their reading didn't stop. They didn't plan to read another book; they wanted to read Finnegans Wake again.
This special book club isn't the only one reading this difficult book. There are at least 52 groups around the world doing the same thing. For example, one book club in Zurich, Switzerland has been reading it for about 40 years! They're on their fourth time reading it, and their first reading took them “just”11 years.
8.What's the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. The book is popular. B. The book is difficult to read.
C. The book is long and boring. D. The book is famous around the world.
9.How long did it take the club in California to read the book
A.11 years. B.17 years. C.28 years. D.40 years.
10. What might the club do next

C. Tell people about the book. D. Invite more people to join them.
11.How does the writer explain the club isn't the only one reading the book

Smile Train is a charity (慈善团体) that helps millions of children around the world, who suffer from a facial defect (缺陷). The defect happens when a baby's top lip or mouth doesn't form properly before birth. Eating and drinking are very difficult for these babies. The charity provides free operations，which give these children a new smile, and with it, new hope and a new beginning.
Children with the defect need all the help. Although many sufferers are accepted by their families, sadly, others are not. In some countries, children with this defect are often abandoned at birth because their parents feel ashamed (羞耻的) of them or cannot afford the operations. The good news is that the operation is not difficult. It takes less than an hour and costs the family nothing. The charity raises money and finds the right medical volunteers to perform the operations.
A Smile Train doctor from the UK said, “Each child who has the operation is given a second chance at life. After years of staying at home, the children can finally go to school and be happy. Every year 1 perform hundreds of operations free of cost through Smile Train. Some of the stories I have heard are quite surprising.
One newborn baby girl was found abandoned on a train. Luckily for her, she was found and adopted(收养) by a passenger. This lady then heard about Smile Train and brought the baby to our hospital. I did the operation and gave hope to the family. Experienced doctors like me share our skills with local doctors. In this way we make sure that these operations will always be available (可获得的).”
12. The underlined word “abandoned” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A. given up B. dressed up C. called up D. brought up
13. Which is NOT TRUE about the operation
A. It costs nothing. B. It takes many hours.
C. The operation is easy. D. The right medical volunteers perform it.
14. What did the doctor from the UK think of his volunteer work
A. Dangerous. B. Surprising. C. Relaxing. D. Valuable.
