【推荐2】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. On 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 are asleep and completely don’t know what’s happening around you.

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 they 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.

2017 NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS
Gravitational Waves (引力波) Scientist Albert Einstein thought of the idea of gravitational waves more than 100 years ago. But it was in September that people finally found them by using LIGO . Three US scientists, Rainer Weiss, Barry C. Barish and Kip S. Thorne, won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics because of their discovery of gravitational waves which allow scientists to look at the space in a new way.
Kazuo Ishiguro	International Writer      2017 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE He has an Asian face. He writes in English. And he writes stories happening in different places across the world. Kazuo Ishiguro ( 石墨一雄)， a Japanese --born English writer, won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature because his novels remind us of how international the world is . In his first book, A Pale view of Hills, Ishiguro tells a story of a middle aged Japanese woman living alone in England. But then he went much further. When We were orphans sets the story in Shanghai. The Remains of the day tells an English butler (管家) recalling his days during the World War II. Of course, he has many other excellent books.

【推荐1】On the morning of Nov. 24, China made history by starting the world’s first lunar return mission (月球返回任务) of the past 44 years. On that day, a Long March 5 rocket was sent into space by carrying the Chang’e 5. The mission lasted for 23 days and it is special for several reasons.

A return mission

Chang’e 5 marked China’s first take off from the moon to carry samples (标本) back. This success shows China has mastered the technology for travelling between the Earth and the Moon, which also will help with China’s future space research. The last lunar sample return mission was Luna 24 of the former Soviet Union (苏联) in 1976.

Larger samples

Chan’e 5 collected 1,731g of lunar samples, while the former Soviet Union sent back only 330g. “These samples will be a treasure.” said a US Professor Jolliff, “My hat is off to Chinese scientists for completing a very difficult mission.”

A new landing site

Chang’e 5’s lunar landing site is known as the Ocean of Storms. It’s on the near side of the moon. No probes (探测器) have visited that place before. The samples collected here provide the youngest ones ever tested: just 1.2 billion years old. Samples from the U.S. and the former Soviet Union landing sites are more than 3 billion years old, scientists say.

1. What did Chang’e 5 do on the Moon?

A．Collected samples from the moon.

B．Searched for treasures on the moon.

C．Found out if there were storms on the moon.

D．Brought Luna 24 of former Soviet Union back.
