(2015·玉溪一中高三统练)
According to body language expert Robert Phipps，the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have.Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality.
Phipps found that worriers，those who stress the most，tend to sleep in the fetal(胎儿的) position.He found that this is the most common bedtime position，with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down.The more we curl up (蜷曲)，the more comfort we are seeking，according to Phipps.
The second most common position is the log.Sleeping with a straight body，with arms at each side，as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace，indicates stubbornness，and these people (the 28 percent who sleep this way)often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep.
“The longer you sleep like this，the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible，which means you make things harder for yourself，”according to Phipps.
Yearner(向往型)sleepers are next on the list.About 25 percent of people sleep in this style－on their side with arms stretched out in front，looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves.Yearners are typically their own worst critics，always expecting the best results，explained Phipps.These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead.
Perhaps the most peculiar(奇怪的)of sleep styles is the freefaller position.This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population.They sleep face down with arms stretched out.These people，according to Phipps，feel like they have little control over their life.Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles，but also the least comfortable，and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.
In conclusion，Phipps has only one more thing to add：“A good night's sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”
语篇导读：本文为说明文。肢体语言专家发现，人们睡觉的姿势实际上揭示了很多个性类型的信息。
1.Which of the following is the best title of the passage？ A．A Good Night's Sleep Sets You Up for the Following Day B．Your Personality Depends a lot on How You Sleep at Night C．How You Sleep at Night Affects What You Do the Next Day D．Which Sleeping Position Helps You Sleep Comfortably
答案：B 解析：标题归纳题。根据本文的主题句中的“the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have.”可知，本文主要讲的是“一个人晚上睡觉
的姿势在很大程度上决定了这个人的个性特点”。
2.Which of the following pictures is the fetal position？
答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down.”可知，“胎儿睡姿”的姿势是“侧躺，头朝下，膝盖往上蜷成一团”，故选D项。
3.The underlined word“rigid”in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to“________”． A．stubborn C．comfortable
B．flexible D．strange
答案：A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“indicates stubbornness”和第四段中的“you can become inflexible”可推知，该词与A项意思最接近。
4.Which sleeping position indicates that the sleeper tends to seek perfection？ A．The fetal position. C．The yearner position.
B．The log position. D．The freefaller position.
答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段第三句中的“Yearners are typically their own worst critics，always expecting the best results”可知，“向往型睡姿”的人对自己要求严格，追求完美。
