Everyone has got two personalities—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 your behaviour, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to upset people, 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 rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You're very stubborn,but you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up (卷曲), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself, so you're often defensive. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.
1.Which is NOT mentioned in the second paragraph about a person's personality
A.He or she is always open with others.
B.He or she always likes new ideas earlier than others
C.He or she is always easily upset.
D.He or she tends to believe in others.
2.Which of the following shows the personality of a person sleeping on his or her stomach
A.He or she is careful not to offend others.
B.He or she doesn't want to stick to his or her opinion.
C.He or she likes enjoying himself or herself.
D.He or she likes to bring others happiness.
3.Why don't you possibly want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up
A.He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.
B.He or she is rarely ready to help you.
C.He or she prefers staying at home to going out.
D.He or she wouldn't like to get help from you.
4.It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because ________.
A.he or she always shows sympathy for people

C.he or she has more strengths than weaknesses
D.he or she often considers annoying people

Diamonds may be a girl's best friend. But some women are falling in love with colorful beads (珠子) from Uganda made of recycled paper. The beads are sold by a nonprofit(非盈利的) organization called BeadforLife.
BeadforLife began as a chance meeting between three American women on a trip to Uganda and a local jewelry maker. Millie Grace Akena was rolling paper beads near her home. She made paper beads as a hobby. But there was no real market in her country.
Torkin Wakefield says she, her daughters Devin and Ginny brought some of the beads back home. Immediately people started admiring the beads.
The three Americans started BeadforLife in 2004. Nearly 700 women have taken part. The group says its beaders earn an average of more than 2,000 dollars a year in the program. This is five times what they earned before. The beads are sold across Uganda and in Boulder, Colorado. They are also sold online and at jewelry shows called bead parties.
“Because these are gifts that help people,when they buy our beads they feel a sense of generosity. They feel like they can really join in dealing with the poor situation,” Torkin said.
The jewelry costs between five and thirty dollars. BeadforLife says for every ten-dollar necklace sold, the beader gets two dollars and forty-three cents in money or materials. It says more than 90% of the earnings are put into social development projects in Uganda. Up to now BeadforLife has helped more than 8,000 people this way.
So what about Millie Grace Akena, the jewelry maker Mrs. Wakefield says she has gone on to organize a small group of women who work with her and they sell their beads across Uganda.
5.Millie Grace Akena rolled paper beads at first to ________.
A.make money

C.send them to America
D.entertain herself
6.BeadforLife was started by ________.

B.they are more beautiful than the diamonds
C.they represent the important things in life
D.they are hard and can keep for a long time

A.She has developed a nonprofit organization.
B.She has already developed her own business.
C.She has already helped more than 8,000 people.

答案与解析:
