You dont show your secret personality when youre awake because you can control your behavior, but when youre asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you.

If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive(不坦率的) person. You worry a lot and youre always easily upset. Youre very stubborn(顽固的), but you arent very ambitious. Youre usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time. If you sleep curled up (卷曲), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so youre often defensive. Youre shy and you dont normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. Youre easily hurt. If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. Youre usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you dont often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.31.

Research suggests eating at least seven portions(一份) of fruit and vegetables a day is more effective at preventing disease than the governments current five-a-day recommendation. Is five a day enough? Yesbut people should eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, the government says. The advice is based on World Health Organization guidelines, which are 25 years old. Experts say eating five portions a day is enough to get the protective benefits of fruit and vegetables although eating more may be additionally beneficial. What counts as a portion? Fruit juice counts towards one portion of the recommended five portions per day. For an adult, a minimum of 400g of fruit and vegetables should be eaten every day, or five portions of 80g. The amount is different for children, based on activity levels and age, but a rough guide is that one portion should fit in the palm(手掌) of their hand. Fruit and vegetables do not have to be eaten on their own and can be cooked in dishes such as soups and other meals. Experts suggest that only taking in enough nutrition can we be healthy. That is to say, we must eat enough fruit and vegetables every day.36. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Fruit and vegetables are of benefit to us.B.

First of all, there arent enough stops in the streets. And taxis often run very fast, which caused many traffic accidents. Additional, some taxi drivers refuse to pick some passengers without any reason. Another terrible thing is that deeply at night taxis waiting around entertainment places make too much noise. A friend of mine living in another city once visited to me, and she told me a taxi driver once cheated her by taking a roundabout route. How will a guest think of our city after such bad experience? I think we must take actions to tighten control over the taxi trade. The last thing to do is raise the taxi drivers professional morality.
