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 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.

49. Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends. She probably goes to sleep _____.

A. on curled up    B. on her stomach     C. on her back     D. on her side

50. What does the word "defensive" mean in the passage?

A. 易怒的        B. 攻击性的        C.外向的         D.有戒心的

51. 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.

   Circles can be found everywhere in the natural world, but with no exact way to measure(测量) them they are very mysterious（神秘的） and might never be completely understood. When you take the distance around a circle and divide it by the distance across a circle, you will always get Pi. While Pi is about 3.14 when rounded, it is endlessly long. With the help of computers, mathematicians(数学家) have been able to work Pi out to over a trillion decimal places(小数点后万亿位). This makes Pi mysterious, even to the most famous mathematicians.

   Pi Day is celebrated on March 14, since the way we write this date, 3/14, looks just like Pi when rounded. In 2009, U. S. Congress voted to formally make March 14 Pi Day. Certain parts of the world—places where March 14 is written as 14/3—will instead celebrate Pi Approximation Day which takes place on July 22nd because of the division(除法) result of 22/7.

   Pi has appeared in movies, comics, music, and more. “In modern movies, any time the filmmaker wants to create a sense of mystery, the symbol Pi is used,” says Blatner. People also love working to remember the digits(数位) of Pi and competing against others to see who can remember most. The Guinness World Record for remembering the most digits of Pi is held by Lu Chao of China, who successfully remembered Pi to nearly 67,000 decimal places.

   Above all, Pi Day is about having fun with the number, according to Blatner. People will celebrate Pi Day by eating pie and throwing pie, and with fun Pi-related games. Princeton, New Jersey holds a series of Pi-related festivities. Events this year include a surprise birthday party for Albert Einstein whose birthday also falls on March 14, and a “Walk a Pi Event” where participants will walk 3.14 miles together. Just like the number itself, the possibilities for Pi Day are truly endless.

52. What makes Pi mysterious?

    A. Ways to divide a circle     B. Ways to use it when rounded

    C. Being unable to write it as an expression  D. Its endless decimal places

53. Why is Pi Day celebrated in some places on July 22nd?

    A. Because it is announced (宣布）formally     B. Because it was corrected originally

    C. Because the division result is similar to Pi    D. Because that day is easier to remember

54. What is the purpose of using Pi in films according to Blatner?

    A. To move more viewers    B. To call for viewers’ attention

    C. To make the films more frightening  D. To add something mysterious to the film

55. What can we learn from the text? 

   A. Lu Chao is the first Chinese to recite Pi.

   B. Many states in the USA celebrate Pi day on July 22nd.

   C. There are many different events to celebrate Pi Day in the world.

   D. Scientists will try their best to work out the digits of Pi thoroughly.

Many people do not know what to do in face of a decision, big or small. Most decisions aren't life-changers. But often, the decision isn't between this or that; it's between acting or not. If this challenges you, here are some tips.

Jog or ride a bike to nowhere. Just start moving in hopes of leaving the familiar. Walk down every street or path you can find until you lose your way. Then, see where you end up. Remember what it felt like to wonder where you were going. Try to lose yourself more often. It'll make you better at making a decision.

Sit outside without any technology for an hour. Let yourself get bored. Can you hear the birds singing? The wind blowing? Yourself breathing? Try to do this once a week, then every other day, then every day. One of the reasons we find it hard to make a better decision is that we keep getting attracted to new things. A break from the noise will lead you to the decision you need to make.

Do something that scares you. People who have trouble making a decision fear mistakes. Tell someone you love them. Laugh out loud in a public place. Give a speech to a stranger. And when you do this, remember how you feel. When you're sacred by a risky situation the next time, tell yourself that you didn't lie. And try to trust the process in the future．

Some of these things may seem silly, but the more you do them, the more you'll control yourself. It doesn't matter where you're going. Just go. Once you start moving, you can always change direction.
