One thing that makes us feel no longer tired is sleep. Studies show that the way people sleep decides their personality（个性）. Robert Phipps, a body language expert, has named four sleeping positions that makes different personality.
Phipps found that worriers who stress the most are likely to sleep in the feta（胎儿的） position. He found this is the most common bedtime position. People sleep on their side with knees up and head down. The more we curl up, the more comfort we want.
The second is the log（树干型）. People sleep with a straight body, with arms at each side. People often feel harder to move their body when they wake up. “The longer you sleep like this, the more rigid your thinking is and you don’t expect any changes to your life.”said Phipps.
Yearner（渴望型） sleepers are the next. People sleep on their side putting arms out straight, looking as if they are chasing（追逐） their dreams. “Yearners are always expecting the best results.” explained Phipps. “These people often wake up refreshed and they are willing to face the challenges of the day ahead.”
The freefaller position is perhaps the strangest. People sleep face down on the stomach. “These people,” he said, “feel like they have little control over their life.” Not only is this the strangest sleeping style, but also least comfortable, and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.
At last, Phipps has only one more thing to add, “A good sleep sets us up for the following day and our sleeping positions can decide how we feel when we wake up.”
26．If a person sleeps in the fetal position, it shows that ________.
A．he feels sleepy B．he feels unhappy C．he feels comfortable D．he feels stressed
27．The underlined word “rigid” in Paragraph 3 means ________ in Chinese.
A．新颖的 B．固执的 C．愚蠢的 D．灵活的
28．According to the passage, we can learn that ________.
A．the fetal sleepers are willing to comfort other people
B．it’s easy for the freefaller sleepers to control their life
C．the yearner sleepers prefer to do the best in life and work
D．the log sleepers sleep as if they are chasing something
29．If we divide the passage into some parts, which of the following is the best?
（①＝Para.1 ②＝Para.2 ③＝Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤＝Para.5 ⑥＝Para.6）
A．①/②/③④⑤/⑥ B．①/②③④⑤⑥ C．①/②③④⑤/⑥ D．①/②③④⑤⑥
30．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Which sleeping position helps you sleep comfortably?
B．A good night’s sleep sets you up for the following day.
C．How you sleep at night may decide what you do the next day.
D．Your personality can be shown in the way you sleep at night.

七、读写综合
A．根据短文内容回答问题。
Nowadays, more and more teenagers have too much pressure. They find their schoolbags are getting heavier and they spend more time on their homework. They think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies. But their parents think the hobbies can get in the way of their schoolwork.
Lucy, a fifteen-year-old girl, is a singing star at school. She always wants to be a famous singer when she grows up. However, her parents don’t want her to practice singing because they think their daughter should spend more time on schoolwork. In order to get good grades, her parents send her to many different after-school classes. She always feels tired when she returns home after school. “She needs to spend more time on her homework because it’s difficult to become a singing star.” says her father. But Lucy really disagrees, “I know my parents care about me. And they hope that I will have a better life. But I am serious about singing. Nowadays, I can only practice singing for less than half an hour every day. I should be allowed to make my own decision. Only then will I have a chance to achieve my dream.” says Lucy.
Doctors say lots of pressure is bad for children’s development. Society should pay more attention to the health of teenagers. Parents have to own the correct attitude towards the students’ development. Although it’s normal to want successful children, it’s even more important to have healthy and happy children!
