Everyone has got two personalities (

性格

)

—

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'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. You normally 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.

Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure

to be there. They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help find out who

you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your

classmate, neighbor, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know

that every moment they will affect (

影响

) your life in some serious way.

Sometimes things happen to you. At the time they may seem terrible, painful (

痛

苦的

) and unfair. But later you realize that without getting over those difficulties you

would have never realized your further ability and strength. Everything happens for a

reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.

The people you meet affect your life, and the successes and failure (

失败

) you

experience, create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact,

they are probably the most poignant and important ones.

Enjoy every day even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly

can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never

talked to before, and really listen. You should set your sights high, hold your head up,

tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.

You can make your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out

and live it.

Rock climbing(

攀岩

) did not become a sport until late in the 1900s. But now it

has become a popular outdoor activity. While rock climbing may still be necessary for

mountain climbing, most people just climb low mountains for fun.

If you have ever done rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport.

ng both need practice. What most people don’ t know

is that rock climbing is one of the sports that depend on your body and mind(

is to always have three parts of your body on the rock face. Another important rule is

that your arms only hold you close to the rock face while your legs are pushing you

up, the closer you are to the rock face, the easier it is to climb.

find more fun. People who like games such as chess playing or problem-solving may

love rock climbing, because they are nearly the same in the way of thinking. For

anyone who wants to get into beautiful shape, rock climbing is a fun and good way.

现金

), or do you like to pay

by credit card(

信用卡

) If you are like a lot of people, you probably have at least one

credit card. Also, you might use it more often than you probably should.

Credit cards first became popular in the 1920s, At that time, businesses, such as

hotels and companies, gave credit cards to their best customers(

顾客

). Unlike today's

credit cards, customers could only use these cards at the Store or business that gave

out the card. Customers had to pay for things in full. They couldn't pay for something

a little at a time.

restaurants. Customers liked the card because they didn't have to carry a lot of cash
