You like to study philosophical religion (宗教哲学). You are an idealist (理想主义者) with beautiful dreams, but you can get happiness from the dreams only when you can make them come true.

The mouse is the first of the 12 animals which represent years. The others are the ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the goat, the monkey, the rooster, the dog and the pig.

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.
Different sleeping positions may ???? 1????? people’s secret personalities
Sleeping on your back You’re open. You? 2??? people. You are shy and unconfident.

五、阅读与回答问题（10 points）
Nearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons i n self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists (心理学家).
Make a decision not to be afraid in talks. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t refuse party invitations just because of your shyness.
Prepare yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. Think about what you would like to say at first. Then say it.
If you start feeling yourself in a group, take a deep breath and put eyes on other people. Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.
Even actors think that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so they can face the cameras and the public.
Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards (回报) . But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know more about you.
