21、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.”
【1】What is the main idea 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.
【2】Which of the following pictures is the fetal position?
A．
B．
C．
D．
【3】The underlined word “rigid” is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．stubborn
B．flexible
C．comfortable
D．strange
【4】Which sleeping position indicates that the sleeper tends to seek perfection?
A．The fetal position.
B．The log position.
C．The freefaller position.
D．The yearner position.
22、While many Chinese watched movies at cinemas during the weeklong Spring Festival holiday, Zheng Wei explained the film The Spring Festival to an audience of visually impaired(受损伤的) people at cinema in Northern China's Tianjin.
"Fireworks light up the dark on New Year's Eve, and children are playing in an open place covered with white snow, said Zheng to the audience, describing the visual elements of the movie while holding a micro-phone and a seript.
As the founder of ”cinema for the blind “ in Tianjin,the55-year- -old has insisted on brightening the dark world of the visually impaired in his own way for 11 years.
Shao Yuxiang and her husband, who are both blind, are regular visitors of the cinema. She wore an elegant yellow sweater to attend the couple's significant "movie day".
Since October 2007, the free movies, which are described through audio, start at 9: 30 am on the third Saturday of each month. More than 150 movies have been screened to more than 20,000 visually impaired
"The theater is equipped with lights a sound system, projector, and a big screen to give the blind a people so far. complete and equal movie experience, "Zheng said.

Under Wang's guidance, Zheng built a new cinema in Tianjin and screened The Dream Factory by Chinese director Feng Xi-aogang. It attracted more than 50 visually impaired people from different districts and even suburban areas in Tianjin.
Zheng always treats movie selections with seriousness He usually chooses Mandarin language movies with positive themes that reflect modern society.

23、I have never been too worried about what my kids do online. I have been using the Web for about as long as there was a Web to use, and I am not an alarmist.【1】.
My friend — I’ll call him Frank — is just like me. He’s been using computers for decades and is as comfortable online as he is off. Though he too has two PC-using kids, he ignored the Internet’s red-light zones. Frank had always assumed that as far as the bad stuff was concerned, most of it was either interesting or manageable. This story has a happy ending; that is, Frank was able to get involved in time. What technology enabled, technology solved. Frank used the Internet to hunt down the person and find his home — which, as it turned out, was only a few towns away. Then he got a judge to sign an order forbidding this creep from having any contact with his daughter. The whole affair left Frank shaken; he felt guilty and frustrated. “She needs her computer for school. I can’t take it away from her. What would you do?”
【2】. My computer-savvy daughters are 12 and 10 years old, and so much of their social lives are online;instant messaging is as much as a part of their culture as the telephone.
But giving children immediate and uncontrolled access to the Internet without preparing them is a little like giving them the keys to the car without subjecting them to any driver’s education. The population of teenagers online is rising. 【3】. And, as my friend Frank learned, the net makes it possible for the worst kind of people to creep into your home.
As a result, a whole cottage industry aimed at concerned patents has arisen. The “solutions” range from software that allows you to spy on your kids to filters that prevent access to certain websites and chat rooms to secret software agents that will quietly e-mail you when Junior is going someplace online that he shouldn’t. You can even get software timer that ends your child’s online session after a set period every day.
Clearly, this is a last-resort kind of a thing. I am entirely opposed to doing such a thing routinely. There has to be a better way.
I was relieved to find out that Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, the noted clinical professor of pediatrics emeritus (儿科名誉教授) at Harvard Medical School, agrees that spyware is not the answer and says it may even create additional problems for children. 【4】. Sit with them at the computer and discuss what they see. Share with them the values of your home and use the media to bring them out. Talking is essential.
A．Using supervision software，he cautions, is not a communication system
B．That’s the question I’m fighting with now — as are, I know, a growing number of parents
C．One way to stay ahead of the game, he says, is to talk frequently with your children about what they’re doing online
D．I can imagine being reduced to spying on my children if I believe that it was the only way to protect them from pressing hard
E．But all that changed recently, when a good friend confessed that his 14-year-old daughter had become involved with a 30-year-oldman — an adult she met in a chat room.
F．And though the windows the Web opens up for a child are powerful doors to the world, there is also some pretty kid-unfriendly stuff out there.
