C 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 are awake because you can control your behavior, but when you are 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 (爱保密的) 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 hope too much. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time. If you sleep curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and you’re often defensive (防御性的). You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to on your own. You’re easily hurt. If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced 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 angry. 64.

D Many years ago, a shopkeeper opened a bag of goods from England and found a card at the top. It said, “Expect a Miracle (奇迹).” “What does that mean?” he thought, and then put it into his pocket. That night he was emptying his pocket and showed it to his wife. “Look at this, dear. What do you think it means?” “Maybe this is what we need,” she said. “Our problems are so great that they are too much for us. If we start expecting great things instead of the worst, miracle may take place.” They decided to try changing their thinking for a few days, starting with their smallest problems. Then something changed. Not only did they find their problems could be solved, but they also started making a lot of money. To make miracles happen, you have to start by expecting them. That way your abilities can become focused in positive (积极的) ways. There are strange coincidences (巧合), and all kinds of happy experiences follow one after another. One becomes hopeful and optimistic (乐观的). Little problems begin disappearing, while the big ones become much easier to work out. Success is not as far as you thought it was. A positive thinker first sets clear and proper goals (目标). Then he goes to work, and keeps on working. He never gives up. His dreams are sure to come true, and when they do, a miracle happens. Miracles come in all sizes: big, medium-sized, and small. Start expecting the small ones, and work your way up to the big. Think positively, believe in yourself and work hard. You’ll find yourself amazed by how meaningful and active your life has become. 68. The author uses the example of the shopkeeper to .
