Everyone has got two personalities（個(gè)性）—the one that is shown to the world and the other is hidden and real. You don’t show your hidden personality when you are awake because you are clear what to do and what not to do, but when you are asleep, your sleep position shows the real you. On a usual night, of course, people change their positions from time to time. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you are a very open person. You usually believe people and you are easy to accept new lifestyle or new ideas. You don’t like to ask for help from others. You don’t like to trouble people, either. So you never express your real feeling. You are quite a shy person and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are rather a person who is not known well to others. You worry a lot and always easily get upset. You don’t pay attention to your job. You are always stubborn（倔強(qiáng)的）. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curling up（蜷縮） your body, you are probably a very nervous person, but you are very kind and patient. You are shy and don’t usually like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You are easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strength and weakness. You are usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often feel sad. You always say what you think even if it makes people upset.

Beyond Baby Mozart, Students Who Rock
Music education hasn’t changed much since the 1970s. Students are still taught to read notation(樂譜) so they can recite compositions that they would never listen to on their MP3 players or play with friends. Playing music enriches life. The question is: Why do schools teach music in a way that turns off so many young people rather than catch their imagination? Can we do a better job of using the power of music to get kids excited about school?
The experience of an organization called Little Kids Rock suggests the answer is yes — if we change the way music is taught. Little Kids Rock has helped music programs in over a thousand public schools and served 150,000 children. The organization has given 30,000 free instruments out, mainly guitars, and trained 1,500 teachers to run music classes in which students quickly experience the joys of playing their favorite songs, performing in bands(樂隊(duì)), and writing their own music.

The key to Little Kids Rock is that it teaches children to play music the way many musicians learn to play it — not by notation, but by listening, imitation(模仿) and meaningful experimentation. “The knowledge you need to get started playing rock music is very limited,” explains Dave Wish, the founder of Little Kids Rock. “In high school, my friend Paul taught me a couple of chords(和弦) and my life was changed forever. On the first day of class, Little Kids Rock teachers place guitars in the hands of their students and get them practicing chords that will enable them to play thousands of songs. The kids decide what songs they want to learn and the class is off and running. Their progress is surprising. Within a year, eight and nine-year-olds are playing musical instruments, and giving concerts, even performing their own songs.
One of the biggest advantages that music offers is the ability to encourage students who are otherwise bored by school. “I’ve had students start coming back to school because of this program,” said Adkison Thomas, who heads up music for the Dallas Independent School District. He added, “One of the best things is that the teachers discover a new side of their students. They see kids become successful who weren’t before.”
小題1:The expression “turn off” in Paragraph 1 means “______”.
A．make kids feel coolB．make kids feel bored
C．make kids feel confidentD．make kids feel nervous
小題2:How did Little Kids Rock help the school?
A．By writing music for kids.
B．By playing kids’ favorite songs.
C．By making instruments for school.
D．By training teachers for music classes.
小題3:Little Kids Rock is successful because ______.
A．it encourages kids to experience music
B．it helps kids learn from great musicians
C．it allows kids to decide how to learn music
D．it offers musical programs all over the country
小題4:What does the writer want to tell us?
A．Learning music is a good way to become successful.
B．Teaching in a proper way benefits students’ development.
C．It’s necessary for students to practice a lot in learning music.
D．It’s important for teachers to discover the new sides of students.

Ants may be very tinny, but they’re serious eaters! Ants love a picnic and they have their “ant-picnics”.
Favorite Foods

Put this feeding station in the places where there are lots of ants. Wait three minutes and count the number of ants feeding on each food. Count them every three minutes. Watch and find out!

How Far Will They Go?
Want to see how far ants travel to collect food? First find an ant nest(巢) by following some ants when they carry food home. Now you know how far the ants traveled to your food station. Next, move the food station about one foot (30cm) farther. Keep moving it until the ants no longer show up.
Spreading the News
Once ants find food they like, usually they try to get their nestmates to help. To find out how long it takes an ant to tell others there’s food nearby, offer their favorite food and watch. After the first ant finds it, begin counting the ants at the food station every minute. Also, watch their behavior, when the first ant heads home, what does it do when it gets near other nestmates?
