23、luenced (影响) by new ideas. You dont like to make people angry. So you never express your real feelings. Youre quite shy and you arent quite sure of yourself. If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and youre always easily unhappy. You always stick to your own
24、 opinions or judgment, but you dont 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 youre often defensive (有戒心的). Youre shy

29、d we copy others or should we keep our differences?It sounds convenient (方便的) that people around the world speak the same language, dress in the same style, eat the same food and play the same games. If the world was like this, you wouldnt feel strange in any place of the world. But just imagine liv
30、ing in such a world. How colorless it would be!Different kinds of food that people can taste, the colorful and fashionable clothes that we dress in and different languages we speak are all part of the different cultures that our ancestors (祖先) left us. These differences show their creativity (创造力) a
31、nd talent. And we all enjoy different cultures in our daily lives. When you travel to other places, you want to see different things. When you talk to foreigners, you hope to listen to interesting stories. These differences in culture make our life colorful. But with the development of globalization
