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 your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their positions. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
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 displease people. So you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t quite sure of yourself.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You always stick to your own opinions or judgment, but you don’t raise your hopes too much. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up（蜷缩）, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally 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（平衡的） personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful. You believe in yourself. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get sad. You always say what you think even if it makes people rather angryYou may find the passage in .

Durbeyfield sat down upon the grassy land by the roadside，putting his basket before him.In a few minutes，a youth from his village appeared in the distance.On seeing him，Durbeyfield held up his hand，and the boy quickened his steps and came near.
"Boy，take up that basket!I want you to do something for me. "

"Do you，do you？That's the secret — That's the secret!Now obey my orders，and Fred，I don't mind telling you that the secret is that I'm one of noble race（贵族） —it has been just found out by me this present afternoon."

Rice is one of the most commonly eaten basic foods around the world.Buying it and cooking it is a daily matter.Yet for many，its presence has been a matter of life and death.It is a main food because it is easy to grow，besides low cost and convenience.A poor community in the developing world may find it difficult to bring in foreign fruits or raise cattle for meat，but it can almost certainly use the land it has in order to grow plenty of rice.
This was the great achievement of Yuan Longping，who passed away on May 22 this year.A great Chinese scientist，Yuan successfully developed what is known as "hybrid rice" which can produce up a 30% higher output.Yuan Longping was born in the year 1930，a time when China was very different.It was a nation，without modern industry，depending on the rice which they grew.The first few decades （十年） of his life were met with major social events，and a rapidly growing population that made food supply not last all the time.This experience left its mark on Yuan Longping，which made him focus on （关注） farming science and work on his research of hybrid rice.
His achievement would see the rice supply in China increasing from 56.9 million tons in 1950 to 194.7 million tons by 2017.By 1991，20% of the world's rice output came from hybrid rice，even if only being planted in 10% of fields.
Always remember，human development begins first with the most basic and sample things，such as developing rice.We should be thankful for scientific thinkers like Yuan.
