Question

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, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and 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.A主旨大意题。这篇短文中作者告诉我们一个人都有两种个性，一种是展示是人们面前的，一种是深藏不露的。但是当你睡觉的时候，你的这种隐藏起来的个性就会暴露出来。短文中作者通过分析人们睡觉的不同姿势，告诉我们人们的不同个性。由此可知这篇短文应该是在科学杂志上可以看到。故选A。

2.C细节理解题。根据短文第二段的内容可知，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.，没有提到的是C选项。

3.C细节理解题。根据短文第三段的内容可知，这一段中作者给我们介绍的是趴着睡觉的人们的个性，这样的人总是会很容易感到不安，比较固执，没有野心，只为今天而活。通过这个介绍我们可以知道C选项更接近，故应选C。
