1 . 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’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 fall asleep with.
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 upset people.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 tomorrow.
If you sleep curled up(卷曲),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 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 strengths and weaknesses.You’re usually careful.You believe in yourself.You sometimes feel anxious,but you don’t often get unhappy.You always say what you think,even if it makes people rather angry.

2 . Last week,we talked about the conflict(冲突)between sleepy teenagers and early morning classes.Many people commented on our website.
For example,Damla Ece in Turkey wrote:I agree with the idea of starting lessons later so teenagers can feel better in the morning.But sleeping more than seven hours can be wasting time for students.
Tran in Vietnam disagreed:I think teenagers,on average,need eight to ten hours of sleep every day.It's useless to try to force them to concentrate while they can't concentrate.
Afshin Heydari from Iran wrote:Schools should start early to avoid heavy traffic later in the morning.
And Suze from Jordan wrote:When I was a teenager,I enjoyed taking my courses as early as possible.That way I could find a long time in the day to do my own activities.
But Azra from Kyrgyzstan said:The reason why schools start early here is a lack of classrooms.
And Joruji in Japan wrote:When I was a teenager,I used to get up before six to go to school,which was far from home,and I don't remember having problems.I think nowadays the Internet,TV games and cell phones make teens go to sleep later.
Thirtyyearold Kika in Spain said:In my opinion,young people are very lazy.
But Dennis Jin disagreed:For high school students in China,we must reach class at 6:20 in the morning and be back home usually at 10:00 in the evening.Then we'll have some extra schoolwork to do.Can you imagine how long could we sleep every day?
Teenagers are not the only ones who suffer.Kathy in Canada wrote:My daughter likes complaining about everything in the morning,and I know that this is from lack of sleep.I wish schools should change their start time to 8:30 or 9:00 in the morning.
And Naima Star in Libya wrote:Getting up so early in the morning and leaving the warm bed is so difficult,especially in the cold weather.It reminds me of that old song:“It's nice to get up in the morning,but it's nicer to stay in bed.”
