相似考题
参考答案和解析
答案：A
解析：
even if是连词，意为“即使”，此处表示“即使他们因自己的名字而感到不高兴，他们一 般也不会改名字的”。even是副词，语法上在此讲不通。
take action是固定搭配，意为“采取行动”。
由下面Chil。的例子可知，有些人改名字是由于个人的（personal)原因。
此处表示：他不想让他爸爸知道他在写诗。
at other times意为“在其他的一些时候”。
wrote前缺少表示人的主语。故选B。
后面又讲到了人们换名字的另外一些原因，故此空应填表示转折意义的however。
由下面的例子可知，此处表示：最常见的情况（the most common)。
改名字是因为名字太长不好记。故选C。
由前面的difficult to remember可知此处应是not as easy to remember。
此处表示有些人改名字是因为市场目的。故选A。
由61空前的marketing可知此处应填market。
此处表示：名字好听一些，故选D。
此处表示：艺术家选择他们所崇拜人的名字。故选C。
前面讲有的名字不利于作者出版书，故为了避免这种情况，他们就改名字，故选B。

第1题：
C
You speak, write a letter, make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad.
When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod and people know you are saying "Yes". Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door helps you where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawing to tell beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TV, radio and films all help us communicate with others. They can help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.
61. People communicate ________.
A.with words only B.in many different ways
C.in letters and drawings D.with smiles, tears and hands
正确答案：B

第2题：
根据下列内容，回答211-215题。
A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy．Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a house，so they have to borrow money from a bank．Borrowing moneyfrom a bank to buy a house is called“take a mortgage”．The bank usually lends money or gives a me．gage for twenty—five years．Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as$50，000．In other words，they will have a$50，000 mortgage．
How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like．you go to a bank．The bank will research you financial history and decide if they think you are a good risk．They will want to know what kind of job you have，what kind of salary you make and how long you have had the job．
They will a]so want to know how much money you have．In addition．the banks will require a down payment．Depending Oil which state you live in，the bank may require as much as 30%of the price of the house as a down payment．The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house.Many people are never able to buy a house because they can not save enough money for the
down payment．
What does a house mean in the United States．? __________A.It is a dream which many people can hardly realize
B.It is so expensive that many people can not really buy them
C.It is the most important property that many people try to buy
D.It doesn’t belong to people if they can not borrow morley from the bank答案：C解析：从第一句“A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy”可知，房子是人们所要购置的最重要的财产。故C项正确。A、B项都提到买房子的不可能性，与文章中的抵押贷款从而购房相悖。D项过于绝对化，并不是所有的人都必须通过银行贷款才买得起房子。 -

Internet Shopping
Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. Nowadays,you can shop for just about anything from your armchair. All you need is a computer which is linked to the Internet. Shopping on the Internet is becoming increasingly popular. In the United States,people spent over U.S. $2.5 billion on Internet shopping in 1998.This figure is expected to reach U.S.$11 billion by the year 2004.
People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet.Physical products include items such as books,CDs,clothes and foods.These types of products are the most common purchases through the Internet.You can also buy information products such as on-line news or magazine stories,or you can download computer software through the Internet.Services such as booking airline tickets,reser-ving hotels or renting cars are also available on the Internet.You can also go shopping on the Inter-net for entertainment services and take part in on-line games.
Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper. The most important advantage is convenience.You can shop whenever you like as the on-line shops are open 24 hours a day and you don't have to queue with other shoppers at the check-out counters.Secondly,it is easy to find what you are looking for on the Internet.Even out-of-print books may be ordered on line.Finally,it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet,and you can tell the shop exactly what you want.
The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality.Also,many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends.Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards,so Internet companies are now finding ways to make on-line payment safe.
Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead.It promises to change the way we buy all kinds of things一from tonight's dinner to a new car.The most proper title for this passage is"_________".
A:People Enjoy Many Ways of Shopping
B:The Advantages and Disadvantages of Internet Shopping
C:The Bright Future of Internet Shopping
D:A New Way of Shopping一Internet Shopping答案：D解析：本题为细节题。文章第二段阐述了网上购物的种类，不仅可以买到诸如书、CD、衣服等物质产品，还可以买到在线新闻、杂志、软件等信息产品，甚至还有娱乐服务和网络游戏等。其中提到："You can also buy information products such as on-line news or magazine stones,or you can download computer software through the Internet.”即“on-line news and maga-zine stories”属于“information products"，所以选D。 A项文章未提及；目前网上已提供在线新闻和杂志故事，排除B项；这些新闻杂志是需要购买的，并不能免费下载，排除C项。
本题为细节题。第三段第一、二句话："Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper.The most important advantage is convenience.”即最大的优势是便利。选项A和B虽然也是网上购物的好处，但不是最重要的；选项C不是网上购物的好处之一，而是网上购物的一个弊端，即不能检查商品的质量。
本题为细节题。第四段提到了网上购物的主要缺点，包括：不能看到实物并检查质量，排除A;不能享受购物的乐趣，排除C;使用信用卡的不安全性，排除D。选项B 意为“顾客不能检查所购商品的数量”，而文中提到的是不能检查商品的质量，所以符合题意。
本题为主旨题。文章中作者围绕网络购物，阐述了网上购物的种类及其优缺点，并对其未来进行展望。所以正确答案应该是D。选项B、C都只是文章的一个方面；选项A过于宽泛。
本题为态度题。文章最后一段说：" Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead.It promises to change the way we buy all kinds of things一from tonight's dinner to a new car.”可以看出，作者对网上购物的未来持乐观态度（optimistic )。 negative（消极的）、concerned（关心的）、critical（批评的）都与文章内容不符。 -

A:understand
B:know
C:recognize
D:observe答案：B解析：A项even if引导让步状语从句，词义是“即使”。B项as if(=as though）引导方式状语从句，词义是“好像”。C项as比较复杂，引导从句较多：(1)时间状语从句，词义是 “随着”;(2）原因状语从句，词义是“由于”;(3）方式状语从句，词义是“像、如、照”;(4）比较状语从句，词义是“与……（不）一样”;(5）让步状语从句，词义是“虽然，尽管”。D项even是个副词，不能用于引导状语从句，词义是“甚至于”。从主句和从句的关系看，应选A项表达让步最为适合。
take右边的“...action是固定短语，意为采取措施或手段”，因此应选B项 take。
句意：有时这纯属个人原因。 文中说：“有时纯属……原因”，很明显应选D项personal个人的、私人的、本人的。A项 obvious明显的；B项的economic经济的；C项own自己的，常用在所有格之后、加强语气。很明显这三项都不可取。
文中说：“他不想让他父亲……他在写诗”。很明显应选B项know知道，了解。A项understand理解、明白；C项recognize识别；认出；D项observe观察；遵守。很明显这三项都不合题意，不能选。
at other times是一个固定短语，词义是：“经常，平素，有时”。类似的短语还有：at a time（一次；同时；曾经）;at all time（不论什么时候，若是）;at no time（在任何时候都不，从来没有，决不）at the same time（在同时），等等。
空白处的左边有（大写的）人名，而且有逗号隔开；后面是动词wrote（写）起谓语作用。很明显应选B项who，是关系代词（指代其左边的人）用来引导非限制性定语从句、并在从句中作主语。A项whom作宾语；C项which置代物；D项that不能用于引导非限制性定语从句。
根据空白处的左和右都有逗号隔开，可推断这是一个典型需要副词的位置。在四个选项中只有C项however是副词，表示转折关系。A项but（并列连词）可是、但是；B 项although（从属连词，用于引导让步状语从句）虽然，尽管；D项and(并列连词）以及，和。很明显这三项都不可选。
the most common最普通、最常见的经常使用。A项scientific科学的，学术的；C项technical技术的，专门的；D项average平均的。这三项都不合语意要求，不可选。
句意：一个人的真名太长，以至于无法记住。 根据文中内容：“long and difficult to remember”，很明显是：too...to太……以至于不 ……的搭配使用。
根据空白处右边的to remember记，很明显应选D项easy容易；而不可能选A项pretty漂亮的；B项simple简单的；C项brief短暂的。
根据文中的：“for marketing（为了商品销售的……）”，很明显应选A项 purposes目的，侧重在通过决心、意志来达到某种效果；B项thoughts思想，想法；C项ends虽有“目的”的含义，但侧重在通过某些手段达到最终的结果；D项goals也虽有“目的”的含义，但侧重在方向和目标上。
根据前一句的marketing purposes（商品销售的目的），很明显应选A项的 market市场；而不可能是B项film电影、胶片；C项book书；D项city城市。
根据前半句中的doesn't sound(听起来不……），很明显在“does（起强调谓语作用）a lot better than（确实听起来比……好多了。）”中应选D项sound（听起来）。
根据文中的Artists（艺术家们）和the name（名字），很明显应先C项 choose（选择）；而不可能是A项give给予；B项change改变；D项mention提及。
空白处To结构（句首、大写、动词不定式符号，说明表示的是目的，要翻译成“为了……。”)；还有后面的this situation(这种状态——指上一句中的情况），很明显应选B 项avoid（避免）。A项admit承认；C项assure确认和D项affect影响，都明显不合逻辑表述。 -

Personality and Career
1.When you select your career,there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position.If you ignore your personality,it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay.There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job.
2. There are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy.Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
3.Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them,but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life,you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often.Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
4.There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer,while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day.Again,these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
5.Some people prefer a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly to being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately.
6.Anyway,these are a great starting point for you.I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love.It may take you a little longer,but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.If you are easily bored of daily routine,you'd better_________.

Look After Your Voice
Often speakers at a meeting experience dry mouths and ask for a glass of water. You can solve the problem
by activating the saliva in you mouth.First gently bite the edges of your tongue with your teeth.Or press
your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there until the saliva flow.Or you can imagine that
you are slicing a big juicy lemon and sucking the juice.
Before you begin your talk,be kind to your voice.Avoid milk or creamy drinks which coat your throat.
Keep your throat wet by drinking a little sweetened warm tea or diluted fruit juice.
If you sense that your are losing your voice,stop talking completely.Save your voice for your speech.
You may feel foolish using paper to write notes,but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice.If you
need to see a doctor,perhaps you can get some advice from a professional singer. In the meantime,do not
even talk in a low voice.
What about drinking alcohol to wet your throat?I advice you not to touch alcohol before speaking. The
problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence.The second drink gives you even more
confidence.Finally you will feel all-powerful and you will feel you can do everything,but in fact your brain
and your mouth do not work together properly.Save the alcohol until after you finish speaking.
Perhaps you want to accept the advice,but you may wonder if you can ever change the habits of a life-
time.Of course you can.Goethe,who lived before indoor skating rinks or swimming pools,said,"We learn
to skate in the summer and swim in the winter."Take this message to heart and give yourself time to develop
your new habits.If you are willing to change,you will soon be able to say that you will never forget these
techniques because they became a part of your body.What does the writer suggest when you feel you are losing your voice?
A:Rest your voice.
B:Drink some alcohol.
C:Ask a singer to teach you how to protect your voice.
D:Never go to see a doctor.答案：A解析：在文章第一段中，作者提到三种解决讲话时口干的方法，分别对应A、B、C选项。故 选D。
由文章第三段第三句“...but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice.”可知，答案 为A。
由文章第四段可知，作者忠告演说者在演说之前千万不要饮酒。故选B。
文章最后一段中歌德的原话是“We learn to skate in the summer and swim in the winter",A项与歌德的说法最接近。
作者在最后一段引用歌德的话想证明，一个人在一生中养成的习惯如果想改还是可以 改的。故选C。第5部分：补全短文 -

Knowing Your Real Personality from Sleeping Positions
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 se-cret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person.You nbrmally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas.You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never ex-press 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 for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up,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 like to be on your own.
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 have a confident personality.You sometimes feel worried,but you don't often get unhappy .You always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality?
A: In the daytime.
B: At the beginning of sleep.
C: At night.
D: During the deep sleep.答案：B解析：整篇文章介绍的是人物的性格特征，外在的和内在的，说明和科学有关。
跟据文章第一段中“The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.”可知应该是开始睡的时候。
由文章第三段中的“If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets.”可知。
从文章第四段中“You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,”可知，保护自己不受到伤害，那么defensive意为“有戒心的”。
由文章中的第二段到第五段可知。 -

Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. Nowadays,you can shop for just about anything from your armchair. All you need is a computer which is linked to the Internet. Shopping on the Internet is becoming increasingly popular. In the United States,people spent over$2.5 billion on Internet shopping in 1998.This figure is expected to reach $11 billion by the year 2004.
People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet. Physical products include items such as books,CDs,clothes and food.These types of products are the most common purchases through the Internet. You can also buy information products such as on-line news or magazine stories,or you can download computer software through the Internet. Services such as booking airline tickets,reserving hotels or renting cars are also available on the Internet. You can also go shopping on the Internet for entertainment services and take part in on-line games.
Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper. The most important advantage is convenience.You can shop whenever you like as the on-line shops are open 24 hours a day and you don't have to queue with other shoppers at the check-out counters.Secondly,it is easy to find what you are looking for on the Internet. Even out-of-print books may be ordered on line.Finally,it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet,and you can tell the shop exactly what you want.
The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality.Also,many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends.Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards,so Internet companies are now finding ways to make on-line payment safe.
Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead.It promises to change the way we buy all kinds of things一from tonight's dinner to a new car.The disadvantages of Internet shopping include all of the following EXCEPT that_______.
A:customs cannot actually see the products they are buying
B:customs cannot check the product's quantity they are buying
C:many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends
D:some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards答案：B解析：细节题。文章第二段阐述了网上购物的种类，不仅可以买到诸如书本、CD、衣服等实物产品，还可以买到在线新闻、杂志、软件等信息产品，甚至还有娱乐服务和游戏等。其中提到了“You can also buy information products such as on-line news or magazine stories, or you can download computer software through the Internet.”即on-line news and magazine stories 属于 information products，所以选D。
细节题。第三段第一、二句话“Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper.The most important advantage is convenience.”即最大的优势是便利。
细节题。第四段提到了网上购物的主要缺点，包括：不能看到实物并检查质量，排除A；不能享受购物乐趣，排除C;使用信用卡的不安全性，排除D。选项B意为“顾客不能检查所购商品的数量”，文中提到的是不能检查商品的质量，所以符合题意。
主旨题。文章中作者围绕网络购物，阐述了网上购物的种类及其优缺点，并对其未来进行展望。所以正确答案应该是D。选项B、C都只是文章的一个方面；选项A过于宽泛。
态度题。文章最后一段说“Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead .It promises to change the way we buy all kinds of things一from tonight's dinner to a new car.”可以看出，作者对网上购物的未来持乐观态度（optimistic )。 -

第13题：
A
You may not realize it，but you are doing much more than just studying，when you are at school． School is also the place where you learn to get along well with people． But this is not al-ways easy． What can you do if you just don-t like one of your classmates? If you discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends，the most important thing to learn is tolerance(宽容)． Tolerance is the ability(能/J ) to realize and respect(尊重) the differences in others． We can not change the way that other people do，so it is important to learn to live happily with them．
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other． Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently． Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad． Tolerance teaches us to keep an even temper and open mind ．
You need to remember an old saying，"Treat others how you want to be treated"． You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates，so it is important to treat them kindly too．
If you tolerate(宽容) something，it does not mean that you have to like it． No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in． Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change．
It is important to practice tolerance，because it will make everyone's lives easier． Learn to accept(接受) people for their different abilities and interests． The world is very different，and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help you make a difference．

第14题：
We can make mistakes at any age.Some mistakes we make are about money.But most mistakes?are about people."Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?When I got that great job,did Jim really feel good about it,as a friend?Or did he envy my luck?"When we look back,doubts?like these can make us feel bad.But when we look back,it′s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies?Sometimes what people say hides their?real meaning.And if we don′t really listen closely we miss the feeling behind the words.Suppose?someone tells you,"You′re a lucky dog."That′s being friendly.But"lucky dog"?There′s a bit?of envy in those words.Maybe he doesn′t see it himself.But bringing in the"dog"puts you down a?little.What he may be saying is that he doesn′t think you deserve your luck.
"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for"is another noise that says one thing and?means another.It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole.But is be?Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn′t important.It′s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven′t got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone′s words?One way is to take a good look at?the person talking.Do his words fit the way he looks?Does what he says agree with the tone of?voice?His posture?The look in his eyes?Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the?real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
According to the author′,the reason why we go wrong about our friends is thatA.we fail to listen carefully when they talk
B.people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say
C.people usually state one thing but mean another
D.we tend to doubt What.our friends say答案：C解析：【考情点拨】推理判断题。【应试指导】由第二段第二句及第三段首句可知，有时人们所说的话掩饰了其真实含义，而且言不由衷。故选C。 -

Look After Your Voice
Often speakers at a meeting experience dry mouths and ask for a glass of water. You can solve the problem
by activating the saliva in you mouth.First gently bite the edges of your tongue with your teeth.Or press
your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there until the saliva flow.Or you can imagine that
you are slicing a big juicy lemon and sucking the juice.
Before you begin your talk,be kind to your voice.Avoid milk or creamy drinks which coat your throat.
Keep your throat wet by drinking a little sweetened warm tea or diluted fruit juice.
If you sense that your are losing your voice,stop talking completely.Save your voice for your speech.
You may feel foolish using paper to write notes,but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice.If you
need to see a doctor,perhaps you can get some advice from a professional singer. In the meantime,do not
even talk in a low voice.
What about drinking alcohol to wet your throat?I advice you not to touch alcohol before speaking. The
problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence.The second drink gives you even more
confidence.Finally you will feel all-powerful and you will feel you can do everything,but in fact your brain
and your mouth do not work together properly.Save the alcohol until after you finish speaking.
Perhaps you want to accept the advice,but you may wonder if you can ever change the habits of a life-
time.Of course you can.Goethe,who lived before indoor skating rinks or swimming pools,said,"We learn
to skate in the summer and swim in the winter."Take this message to heart and give yourself time to develop
your new habits.If you are willing to change,you will soon be able to say that you will never forget these
techniques because they became a part of your body.What did Goethe say about skating and swimming?
A:He said people could learn to skate when it was hot and swim when it was cold.
B:He said people could learn to skate and swim when it was hot.
C:He said people could learn to skate and swim when it was cold.
D:He said people could learn to skate when it was cold and swim when it was hot.答案：A解析：在文章第一段中，作者提到三种解决讲话时口干的方法，分别对应A、B、C选项。故 选D。

Personality and Career
1.When you select your career,there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position.If you ignore your personality,it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay.There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job.
2. There are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy.Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
3.Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them,but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life,you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often.Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
4.There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer,while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day.Again,these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
5.Some people prefer a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly to being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately.
6.Anyway,these are a great starting point for you.I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love.It may take you a little longer,but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.Paragraph 2_________

Knowing Your Real Personality from Sleeping Positions
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 se-cret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person.You nbrmally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas.You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never ex-press 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 for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up,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 like to be on your own.
