Everyone has got two personalities (性格) —the one that is shown to the world and the
other hat 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. ( ) 56. You may find the passage in_____.
A. a guide book B. a science magazine C. a sports newspaper D. a story book
( )57. When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality?
A. In the daytime. B. At the beginning of sleep. C. At night. D. When you are awake.
( )58. Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends. She probably goes to sleep _____
A. on curled up B. on her side C. on her back D. on her stomach ( )59.What does the word “defensive” mean in the passage?
A. 易怒的 B. 有戒心的 C. 外向的 D. 攻击性的 ( ) 60. What does the passage tell us?
A. Sleeping on your side is the best way of sleeping. B. Changing positions will cause sleeping problems.
C. Sleeping positions show people’s secret personalities. D. Enough sleep makes people look better and healthier.
C
Most people hope to have a better memory which helps them succeed in study, work and life. Can memory be improved? Luckily, hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a definite answer.
A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy diet. Eating more food rich in vitamins B and vitamins E, such as vegetables and lean meat, helps you have a better memory. Doing exercise can help your brain ①active, too. Proper exercise provides much needed oxygen for the brain. Moreover, getting enough sleep is important. Only when your brain gets a good rest can it work well. ②你的生活方式越健康,你的记忆力就会变得越好,but do not expect a sudden change- it takes a long time to make a difference.
Memory skills help you remember things better. The following three are the most widely used. Chunking is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller ones. For example, to memorize a ten-digit telephone number 1805894756,you can divide the digits into three groups, first 180,then589 ,and lastly4756. ③ This method is more effective than remembering a string of 10 digits. Organization means organizing information into groups of the same kind. For example, trees , grass and flowers are plants; tigers ,pandas and horses are animals. Imagery is remembering newly learnt information by using your imagination and connecting it with something that you are familiar with.
However, memory skills will hardly work if you don’t understand the information. What’s more, only a regular review can make the memory last long.④ That is why students are always advised to go over what they have learnt as regularly as possible. 61.What’s the main idea of the passage? ____________________________________ 62. 与文中①处划线音标发音相同的是:
A.dictionary B. amazing C. farm D. marry 63. 将文中②处划线句子翻译成英语。 ____________________________________ 64. 将文中④划线处句子翻译成中文。 ____________________________________ 65. 写出③划线处句子的同义句。
Remembering a string of 10 digits is not as _____ ______ this method. 八.补全对话。(每小题2分,共8分)
A:Hi, Tom. You were not here yesterday afternoon. What was wrong ?
B: ____66________.
A:Sorry to hear that. _____67________?
B:Much better. The fever is gone. But I still cough and I feel weak. A: ______68_______?
B:Yes , I have. I went to the doctor’s yesterday afternoon. The doctor gave me some medicine and asked me to stay in bed for a few days. A:______69_______?
B:Because I’m afraid I’ll miss more lessons and I’ll be left behind. A:Don’t worry. Take care of yourself. I will help you with your lesson. B:Thank you。
