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.”

C：Conclusion

　 Cooks around the globe like it; housewives have used it for centuries to add flavor to their cooking and grandmothers have always had some doubt about what our science has found out about it. Chinese garlic(大蒜) is a wonder drug.

　　　 Garlic is one of the most effective and common medicines for the common cold. The best way to eat it is in hot soup, but another interesting way is to put some slices of raw garlic over bread. It helps clear up the nose as well as decongesting (解除充血) the chest. In fact, a slice of raw garlic eaten every day keeps almost all illness away. But most of us are quite afraid of its strong smell so we do not take this seriously.

　　　 There is a word of caution, however. Since it is a warming and drying herb, people with a hot body should use it carefully. For some people, garlic may cause stomach pains or some other problems. Also in many cases, garlic has been known to make conditions like sleeplessness even worse. It can affect the mind and concentration, so garlic is best avoided for people performing activities that require concentration. People who easily get angry or have a red face should use garlic carefully.

　　　 In many cases, garlic may cause heat in the body. Also, because it has such strong chemical elements, some people simply cannot stand it.

　　　 Another point of caution is that since it is a blood-thinning agent, patients are advised to consult their doctors before they start taking garlic in regular quantities. In a healthy person, its intake can keep a person free of all kinds of physical discomfort over a long period of time.

26. What do we know about garlic? 　　　

A. Few cooks like using it when cooking dishes.

B. It’s not effective in treating the common cold.

C.Old people are more in favor of eating garlic than young people.

D. There’s more than one way to take garlic as a medicine.

27.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the third paragraph? 　　　

A. Eating much garlic makes it easy for people to sleep.

B. Garlic can affect the mind and concentration of people.

C. People who suffer from stomach pains are not advised to eat garlic.

D. People who easily get angry are advised to use garlic carfully.

28. What should patients do before starting to take garlic in regular quantities? 　　　

A. Ask for a doctor’s advice.

B. Have garlic cooked.

C. Take other medicine together.

D. Spend more time sleeping.

29. It can be concluded from the passage that　　

A. the more garlic people take, the healthier they will be.

B. garlic is called the wonder drug for its strong smell.

C. garlic is not suitable for all people.
