Driving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting but nerve-racking (神經(jīng)緊張的). I had never been to such an amazing national park before, yet I wasn’t the most athletic person so I knew that I couldn’t stick through all the hiking up and down. It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience.

The ride there was definitely long but worth it. As I woke up from my nap, I saw the beautiful scenery of the tall mountains and beautiful streams. The trails were made nicely for visitors. The waterfalls were breathtaking. Climbing up rocks was one of my favorite parts. Even though I fell a couple of times, I still have a lot of fun. The fact that my family and I spent so much time together all trying to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us closer together.

The great thing about nature is that, it’s just you, the views, and the people around you. There’s nothing there to bother you and it’s the best way to relax and enjoy yourself. Yosemite has 5 of the world’s highest waterfalls, and about 300 lakes. The structure of each mountain is incredible; it’s formed in ways that almost take your breath away. Some of them are of a deep dark color with waterfalls forming; some are formed with spots of green peeking (窺探) out. It’s definitely something you wouldn’t want to miss.

Yosemite isn’t the only great National Park but based on my experience I highly recommend going out and enjoying nature with family and friends. It’s a great time to bond, laugh, and take in what Mother Nature offers.

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 are awake because you can control your behavior，but when you are asleep，your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their positions. 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 displease people. So you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't quite sure of yourself.

If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You always stick to your own opinions or judgment，but you don't raise your hope too much. You usually live for today not 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(防衛(wèi)的). 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 strength and weakness. You're usually careful. You trust yourself. You sometimes feel anxious，but you don't often get sad. You always say what you think even if it makes people rather angry.

1.According to the passage，a person，who is not willing to change his mind probably sleeps ________.

A．on his sideB．on his back

C．curled upD．on his stomach

2.If a person prefers to sleep curled up rather than on his back，he maybe want to ________.

A．do things personallyB．stay alone

C．keep things secretD．trust others easily

3.The main idea of this passage is that ________.

A．one's sleeping position has something to do with one's character

B．everyone has got both real and secret personalities

C．the position in which one goes to sleep is the most important one

D．when awake，one does not show one's secret personality
