A

Peter the Great(1672～1725)was the ruler of the

Russian Empire, who wanted his city to be unique in

Russia. Therefore, the city was filled with canals like those

of Venice, baroque(巴罗克风格的)palaces and British

townhouses. Now the city has celebrated its 300th anniversary(周年).

Naming the city was a difficult matter. At first, Peter the Great called the new Russian city Sankt Pieter Burkh. But, he soon changed this to St Petersburg. When World WarⅠbroke out in 1914, it was renamed Petrograd. On the death of Lenin in 1924, it became Leningrad. After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, it returned to St Petersburg. From the start, St Petersburg was a very modern, international city. It first became the Russian capital in 1712, and with this in mind, Peter hired a great deal of international talent to build and develop it.

The most obvious effect of this arrival of foreigners was in the design of the

city’s streets, parks, palaces and government buildings. Although bombed to near destruction by Adolf Hitler’s for ces in the 1940s, the city was rebuilt, stone by stone. What you see around you in the end of Catherine the Great’s rule in 1796, after nearly a century, is Peter’s city which was one of the finest in the world.

Peter the Great’s city was, and now remains a meeting point for the cultures of Russia and Europe, whether you are one of the 49 percent of its population who, in 1991, voted to remain its revolutionary name, Leningrad, or the 51 percent who chose St Petersburg. To everyone, it remains Peter, an architectural stone of race and beauty.

Everyone has got two personalities(个性)—one shown to the world and the other 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 position. 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 normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset peo ple, so you never express your real feeling. You are quiet, shy and you aren’t very confident.

If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you are always easily upset. You’re very stubborn(顽固的), but you aren’t very ambitious(有野心的). You usually live for today, not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.

If you sleep curled(卷曲)up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself, so you are often defensive. You are shy and yo u don’t normally 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(通情达理
