Dreams

Our dreams combine verbal, visual and emotional stimuli into a sometimes broken, nonsensical but often entertaining story line. We can sometimes even solve problems in our sleep. Or can we? Mary experts disagree on exactly what the purpose of our dreams might be. Are they strictly random brain impulses, or are our brains actually working through issues from our daily life while we sleep—as a sort of coping mechanism? Should we even bother to interpret our dreams? Many say yes, that we have a great deal to learn from our dreams.

Why do we Dream?

For centuries, we’ve tried to figure out just why our brains play these nightly shows for us. Early civilizations thought dream worlds were real, physical worlds that they could enter only from their dream state. Researchers continue to toss around many theories about dreaming. Those theories essentially fall into two categories:

*The idea that dreams are only physiological stimulations

*The idea that dreams are psychologically necessary

Physiological theories are based on the idea that we dream in order to exercise various neural connections that some researchers believe affect certain types of learning. Psychological theories are based on the idea that dreaming allows us to sort through problems, events of the day or things that are requiring a lot of our attention. Some of these theorists think dreams might be prophetic. Many researchers and scientists also believe that perhaps it is a combination of the two theories.

Dreaming and the Brain

When we sleep, we go through five sleep stages. The first stage is a very light sleep from which it is easy to wake up. The second stage moves into a slightly deeper sleep, and stages three and four represent our deepest sleep. Our brain activity throughout these stages is gradually slowing down so that by deep sleep, we experience nothing but delta brain waves-the slowest brain waves. About 90 minutes after we go to sleep and after the fourth sleep stage, we begin REM sleep.

Rapid eye movement (REM)was discovered in 1953 by University of Chicago researchers Eugene Aserinsky, a graduate student in physiology, and Nathaniel Kleitman, Ph.D., chair of physiology. REM sleep is primarily characterized by movements of the eyes and is the fifth stage of sleep.

How to Improve Your Dream Recall

It is said that five minutes after the end of a dream, we have forgotten 50 percent of the dream's content. Ten minutes later, we've forgotten 90 percent of its content. Why is that? We don't forget our daily actions that quickly. The fact that they are so hard to remember makes their importance seem less.

There are many resources both on the Web and in print that will give you tips on how to improve your recall of dreams. Those who believe we have a lot to learn about ourselves from our dreams are big proponents of dream journals. Here are

some steps you can take to increase your dream recall:

*When you go to bed, tell yourself you will remember your dreams.

*Set your alarm to go off every hour and half so you’ll wake up around the times that you leave REM sleep—when you're most likely to remember your dreams.(Or, drink a lot of water before you go to bed to ensure you have to wake up at least once in the middle of the night!)

*Keep a pad and pencil next to your bed.

*Try to wake up slowly to remain within the “mood” of your last dream.

Common Dream Themes and Their Interpretations

*Being naked in public

Most of us have had the dream at some point that we're at school, work or some social event, and we suddenly realize we forgot to put on clothes! Experts say this means:

We're trying to hide something(and without clothes we have a hard time doing that).

We're not prepared for something, like a presentation or test(and now everyone is going to know-we're exposed!).

If we're naked but no one notices, then the interpretation is that whatever we're afraid of is unfounded. If we don't care that we're naked, the interpretation is that we're comfortable with who we are.

*Falling

You're falling, falling, falling...and then you wake up. This is a very common dream and is said to symbolize insecurities and anxiety. Something in your life is essentially out of control and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Another interpretation is that you have a sense of failure about something. Maybe you're not doing well in school or at work and are afraid you're going to be fired or expelled. Again, you feel that you can't control the situation.

*Being chased

The ever-popular chase dream can be extremely frightening. What it usually symbolizes is that you're running away

from your problems. What that problem is depends on who is chasing you. It may be a problem at work, or it may be something about yourself that you know is destructive. For example, you may be drinking too much, and your dream may be telling you that your drinking is becoming a real problem.

*Taking an exam(or forgetting that you have one)

This is another very common dream. You suddenly realize you are supposed to be taking an exam at that very moment. You might be running through the hallways and can't find the classroom. This type of dream can have several variations that have similar meanings.(Maybe your pen won't write, so you can't finish writing your answers.)What experts say this may

mean is that you're being scrutinized about something or feel you're being tested-maybe you're facing a challenge you don't think you're up to. You don't feel prepared or able to hold up to the scrutiny. It may also mean there is something you've neglected that you know needs your attention.

*Flying

Many flying dreams are the result of lucid dreaming(清醒梦).Not all flying dreams are, however. Typically, dreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things. You are in control of the things that matter to you. Or, maybe you've just gained a new perspective on things. It may also mean you are strong willed and feel like no one and nothing can defeat you.

If you are having problems maintaining your flight, someone or something may be standing in the way of you having

control. If you are afraid while flying, you may have challenges that you don't feel up to.

*Running, but going nowhere

This theme can also be part of the chasing dream. You're trying to run, but either your legs won't move or you simply aren't going anywhere-as if you were on a treadmill(路车). According to some, this dream means you have too much on your plate. You're trying to do too many things at once and can't catch up or ever get ahead.

三、阅读理解(共 30 分,每小题 2 分)

Passage 1

People who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is no unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

31. Mountaineering involves____.

A. enjoyment     B. hardship    C. physical risk    D. all of the above

32. The difference between a sport and a game is to do with the____.

A. activities      B. rules        C. efforts        D. participants

33. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because____.

A. it is an Olympic event                            B. teams compete against each other

C. mountaineers depend on each other while climbing     D. there are many climbers in each team

34. Mountaineers compete against____.

A. Nature                 B. each teammate

C. other teams             D. international standards

35. The best title for the passage is____.

A. Mountaineering Is Different          B. Dangerous Mountaineering

C. Mountaineering                    D. Mountain Climbers

Passage 2

An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to(归因)the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.

Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 150%this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.

Professor John Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecture at St. Andrews University, said his first-year lectures-which are open to students from all departments-were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.

“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn't traditionally done.” He added.

University applications rose 7% last year. But there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15%jump,with people’s renewed interest in caters in the public sector(部门), which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.

A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.

Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said, “It's possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that's financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.” 

36. Professor John Beath’s lectures are____.

A. given in a traditional way                    B. connected with the present situation

C. open to both students and their parents          D. warmly received by economics

37. Incomes in the public sector are more attractive because of their____.

A. greater stability                  B. higher pay

C. fewer applications                D. better reputation

38. In the opinion of most parents____.

A. eccentrics should be the focus of school teaching        

B. more students should be admitted to universities

C. the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened    

D. children should solve financial problems themselves

39. According to Hocking, the global economic crisis might make the youngsters____.

A. wiser in money management           B. have access to better equipment

C. confide about their future careers           D. get jobs in Child Trust Funds

40. What's the main idea of the text?

A. Universities have received more applications.

 B. Economics is attracting an increasing numbers students.

C. College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty.

D. Parents are concerned with children’s subject selection.

Passage 3

The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness.

As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, some of the country's most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms.

These recent initiatives owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.

A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 500 visitors each week. What better place to hold regular exhibitions of art? Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975.Belicved to be Britain's first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.

The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards.

The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.

41.According to the passage, “to soften the hard edges of modern buildings” means____.

A.to pull down hospital buildings                   B.to decorate hospitals with art collections

C.to improve the quality of treatment in hospitals       D.to make the corners of hospital buildings round

42.What can we say of Peter Senior?

A. He is a pioneer in introducing art into hospitals.           

B. He is a doctor interested in paintings.

C. He is an artist who has a large collection of paintings.       

D. He is a faithful follower of hospital art.

43.According to Peter Senior,____.

A. art is losing its audience in modern society           

B. art galleries should be changed into hospitals

C. patients should be encouraged to learn painting   

D. British hospitals are good places for art exhibitions

44.After the improvement of the hospital environment,____.

A. patients no longer need drugs in their recovery

B. patients are no longer wholly dependent on doctors

C. patients need good-quality drugs in their recovery

D. patients may reduce the usage of drugs in their recovery

45.The fact that six young art school graduates joined Peter shows that____.

A. Peter’s idea is accepted by people            B. Peter Senior enjoys great popularity

C. they are talented hospital artists              D. the hospital environment is important
