Did you know that the position you choose to sleep in says something about what kind of person you are?

A study of 1,000 British people has been done by Chris, a British professor and director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service in the UK. It looked at the six most common sleeping positions and which personalities tend to match them. Have a look.

1. Fetus (胎兒) position – This is the most common sleeping position. About 41 percent of the participants said they sleep in this position. These sleepers may appear to be strong but they are usually sensitive (敏感的) and shy. The more they curl (蜷縮) up, the more worried they are.

2. Log position (樹干睡姿) – This is the second most common position. People who sleep like a log are usually stubborn.

3. Yearner position (向往型睡姿) – This position says that you are open-minded and eager (急切的) to face challenges.

4. Soldier position – These sleepers lie on their backs with their arms down and close to the body. They are usually reserved and quiet.

5. Freefall position – People who sleep in this position are outgoing (外向的) but feel a lack of control in their lives. This is the least comfortable position.

6. Starfish position – People who sleep like this are good listeners, helpful, and uncomfortable being the center of attention.

1.What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Sleeping position decides personality.

B. Sleeping position reflects personality.

C. What the six different sleeping positions are like.

D. Different people have different sleeping positions.

1.由開頭“Did you know that the position you choose to sleep in says something about what kind of person you are?”可知， 你知道嗎，你的睡姿暗示了你是什么樣性格的人。因此選B。

2.判斷推理題。由“These sleepers may appear to be strong but they are usually sensitive and shy.”可知A“always”錯(cuò)誤；由“People who sleep like a log are usually stubborn.”可知，樹干型睡姿的人很固執(zhí)，不容易更改自己的觀點(diǎn)，故B錯(cuò)誤；從第5點(diǎn)“This is the least comfortable position.”可知這樣的睡姿不舒服，不是生活中感到不舒服，故C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；由第6點(diǎn)“…and uncomfortable being the center of attention.”�？芍@類人成為公眾關(guān)注焦點(diǎn)時(shí)很無措，故選D.

Steps to Retire as a Millionaire

Having a million-dollar savings is a retirement dream for many people. Making that dream come true requires some serious efforts. While success is never a sure thing, the steps outlined below will go a long way toward helping you achieve your objective.

1.

Vacations, cars, kids and all of life’s other expenses take a big chunk(大塊) out of your paycheck. To maximize your savings, you need to minimize your expenses. Buying a home you can afford and living a lifestyle that is below your means and not funded by credit cards are all necessities if you want to boost your savings.

2.

If you don’t save, you’ll never reach your goal. Obvious as this might seem, far too many people never even start to save. If your employer offers a 401(k) plan (一種養(yǎng)老保險(xiǎn)), simply sign up for the plan and contributions will be automatically taken out of your paycheck, increasing your savings and decreasing your taxes. It’s like getting a guaranteed return on your investment. Finding the cash to stash (隱藏起) may be a challenge, particularly when you’re young, but don’t let that stop you from pursuing future riches.

3.

If you are looking to grow your wealth over time, fixed income isn’t likely to get the job done, and inflation (通貨膨脹) can take a big chunk out of your savings. Investing in equities (股票) may have more risk, but is also statistically likely to lead to greater returns. For many of us, it’s a risk we have to take if want to see our wealth grow.

4.

Part of long-term planning involves accepting the idea that setbacks will occur. If you are not prepared, these setbacks can put a stop to your savings efforts. While you can’t avoid all of the bumps in the road, you can prepare in advance to reduce the damage they can do.

5.

Your income should rise as time passes. You’ll get raises, you’ll change jobs, and maybe you’ll get married and become a two-income family. Every time more cash comes in to your pocket, you should increase the amount that you save. The key to reaching your goal as quickly as possible is to save as much as you can.

A. Watch Your Spending.

B. Prepare for Rainy Days.

C. Start Saving.

D. Get Aggressive.

E. Save More.

F. Set the Goal.

G. Have patience.

“I will never marry, ” the future Elizabeth I declared at the age of eight, and, to the terror of her people, the Great Queen kept her word.

For four centuries, historians have guessed why Elizabeth never married. In her own day, her decision to remain single was considered absurd and dangerous. A queen needed a husband to make political decisions for her and to organize and lead her military campaigns. More important, she needed male heirs (繼承人) to avoid a civil war after her death.

There was no shortage of suitors for the Queen, both English courtiers (朝臣) and foreign princes, and it was confidently expected for the best part of 30 years that Elizabeth would eventually marry one of them. Indeed, although she insisted that she preferred the single state, she kept these suitors in a state of permanent expectation. This was a deliberate policy on the Queen's part, since by keeping foreign princes in hope, sometimes for a decade, she kept them friendly when they might otherwise have made war on her kingdom.

There were, indeed, good political reasons for her avoiding marriage. The disastrous union of her sister Mary I to Philip II of Spain had had an unwelcome foreign influence upon English politics. The English were generally prejudiced against the Queen taking a foreign husband, particularly a Catholic one. Yet if she married an English, jealousy might lead to the separation of the court.

There were other deeper reasons for Elizabeth's unwillingness to marry, chief of which, I believe, was her fear of losing her autonomy as Queen. In the 16th century, a queen was regarded as holding supreme dominion(統(tǒng)治權(quán))over the state, while a husband was thought to hold supreme dominion over his wife. Elizabeth knew that marriage and motherhood would bring some harm to her power.

She once pointed out that marriage seemed too uncertain a state for her. She had seen several unions in her immediate family break down, including that of her own parents. Elizabeth's father, Henry VIII, had had her mother, Anne Boleyn, killed; her stepmother Catherine Howard later suffered the same fate. When Elizabeth was 14 she was all but attracted by Admiral Thomas Seymour, who also went to the prison within a year. Witnessing these terrible events at an early age, it has been argued, may have put Elizabeth off marriage.

Elizabeth had to decide her priorities. Marriage or being single? Elizabeth was far too intelligent. The choice she made was courageous and revolutionary, and, in the long run, the right one for England.

1.To the suitors including English courtiers and foreign princes, Elizabeth ________.

A. held back the truth

B. gave a definite answer “no”

C. kept them expecting on purpose

D. said she preferred the single state

2.If Elizabeth had married a foreign prince, there might have been ________.

A. prejudice against her

B. separation of the court

C. jealousy among English courtiers

D. a negative impact on English politics

3.Which of the following implications is right according to the passage?

A. Queen Elizabeth was not a Catholic.

B. Some foreign princes made war on Britain.

C. Catherine Howard was killed by Anne Boleyn.

D. Admiral Thomas Seymour was killed by Henry VIII.

4.What is the attitude of the author towards Queen Elizabeth never marrying in her life?

A. Pitiful. B. Approving. C. Negative. D. Neutral.

The Occupy protests(抗議) in Hong Kong are approaching an end. Traffic on Mong Kok’s Argyle Street resumed in the late afternoon after the clearance of the barriers and tents by protesters, who remained largely calm, only resisting the clearance at several points.

Some 3,000 police officers were deployed(部署) in the operation, a much higher number than were used to assist in the clearance of a protest site in Admiralty District on November 18.

The operation in Mong Kok comes a week after the partial clearance of another protest site next to the local government headquarters in Admiralty, bringing an end to the months-long protest movement.

Some 3,000 police officers also stood guard at the former protest site in Admiralty on Tuesday.

Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying expressed on Tuesday his hope that business could resume for shops in the area. He also restated that the protest was an unlawful gathering, and called for the protesters to respect and obey the law.

“The common call of Hong Kong people has finally been answered. Now the protest is coming to an end which is necessary and unavoidable. The public has suffered enough,” Leticia Lee See-yin told the Global Times.

“Many people are living in Mong Kok or operating their businesses in the area. They are all angry at the protest for affecting their business. Two shop owners even shut down their stores because they can no longer afford losses caused by the protest,” said Lee.

It is believed that the successful clearance of the Mong Kok site has proven that the protests are decreasing as they approach an end.

“The authorities met with much less resistance compared to a month ago when protesters reacted violently when police tried to remove barriers in the same area in Mong Kok. Now the public has expressed a stronger desire than ever for the protest to end,” Tang Ka-piu, a lawmaker, told the Global Times.

1.The underlined word “resumed” in the first paragraph most probably means “_______”.

A. came to a stop B. moved faster

C. returned to normal D. piled up

2.It can be learned from the passage that the occupy protests _______.

A. have made the public suffer a lot

B. have lasted for two months

C. are supported by common people

D. have caused no loss for the citizens

3.Which of the following is True according to the passage?

A. Police officers didn’t meet with any resistance in the late afternoon clearance.

B. Many more than 3000 police officers took part in the clearance in Admiralty District.

C. The authorities are not capable of dealing with the resistance from the protesters.

D. The occupy protests are announced illegal and harmful for the business.

4.How do the Hong Kong public feel about the occupy protests?

A. Approval. B. Annoyed. C. Scared. D. Desirable.
