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. Younormally 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.( )29.

Men can wear them, too. In Scotland, men wear a kind of skirt called a kilt. The kilt is their national dress and an important part of their tradition. A kilt is a coloured skirt reaching down to the knee. It has checks on it with different colours, like red or blue. Each family in Scotland has its own colours.How did the Scots start to wear kilts? There are many stories about it. One story is that the kilt was invented in the 1720s by anEnglish factory owner, Thomas Rawlinson.Rawlinson had a number of Scottish workers in his factory and he thought their clothing got in the way of their work. So he cut their long clothes into a shorter skirt.Today, most Scotsmen see kilts as formal dress. They usually only wear them at weddings or big dinners. There are only a few men who still wear a kilt every day.Scots also wear kilts in parades when they play their traditional musical instrument: bagpipes (风笛). The army still has kilts as the dress uniform, but they no longer wear them to fight. ( )33. A kilt is ____.A. B. C. D.( ) 34.

The story mainly tells us ____.A. things about Scotsmen's traditional kiltsB. how to wear kiltsC. when to wear kiltsD. Scotsmen's important traditionCPisces is the twelfth star sign. There is a legend about its name.Long, long ago, there was a war between gods and a bad monster (怪物). It lasted ten years. One day, the gods were surprised to find that the monster was coming towards them. The goat god Pan shouted a warning and tried to change himself into a fish. One god, Aphrodite, took her little boy Eros and tried to hide among the bushes near Euphrates River. She was the god of love and her son was the god of war. It is said that two fish swam to carry Aphrodite and her child to safety. Some people also believe that Aphrodite and Eros changed into fish themselves and swam away to safety. Later the fish represent Aphrodite and her son Eros.As they appeared in the sky, the two fish were tied together by a rope (绳子). Some said that Aphrodite tied the little boy to her body so that he would not get lost as they swam away to safety. That’s the story about Pisces.In Western countries, some people believe people will share similar characteristics if they have the same star sign. So if you’reborn between February 19th and March 20th, your star sign is Pisces. It means that you are generous, easy-going and creative. ( )37.
