24、Dreams are expressions of thoughts, feelings and events that pass through our mind while we are sleeping. Everybody dreams. But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the senses ---- smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch. Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again.

Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist (奥地利心理学家) Sigmund Freud wrote a book called “The Interpretation (诠释) of Dreams” in 1900. Freud believed people often dream about things they want but can’t have. Swiss (瑞士) psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams could help people grow and understand themselves. He believed dreams provide solutions to problems we face when we are awake. Today we know more about the science of dreaming because researchers can take pictures of people’s brains while they are sleeping.[来

Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions (感情). Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry (心理学教授) at Harvard University in Massachusetts. Doctor Stickgold says that when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world. He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and desires (愿望).

Scientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams. Doctor Stickgold says it has been more than one hundred years since Sigmund Freud wrote his important book about dreaming. Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream.

26、“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine.”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine.” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.

Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might be thinking, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong.” But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not so sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.

People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says “I have to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse, “Someone’s at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuse might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.

Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s a part of the game of language.

【1】When a person in the United States asks “How are you?”, he or she wants to hear “ ________”.

A．How are you?

B．Fine.

C．I don’t know.

【2】When a person wants to disagree with someone, it is polite to say “________”.

A．You’re wrong. I disagree.

B．I’m not so sure.

C．I’m sure I disagree.

【3】When a person says “I have to go now. Someone’s at the door.”, the person may be ________.

A．giving an excuse

B．hurting someone’s feeling

C．talking to a person at the door

【4】One of the rules of the game of language is probably ________.

A．“Be polite.”

B．“Don’t disagree with other people.”

C．“Never say exactly what you’re thinking.”

27、As a child，one of my favorite things to do was to go to the river and sit on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet. Watching the river, listening to the chirps（鸟鸣 ）of the birds and the sound of moving leaves in the tress relaxed me after a hard day at school.

I noticed that the bamboo trees would bend(弯曲) in the wind. However, after the wind had died down they would stand up again.

When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability. the word “resilience” comes to mind. This word means the ability to overcome shock, low spirits and other difficult situations quickly.

Have you ever felt like you are about to break suddenly? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived(幸免) such an experience.

During the experience you probably had mixed emotions(情感). You felt very tired.

Life is a mixture of good times and bad things, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are having a bad time or unhappy moment, bend but don’t break. Try your hardest not to let the situation take control of you.

Hope will get you through the unhappy times. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be.

If life gets hard and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don’t break!

【1】Why did the author like to sit on the river bank when he was young?

A. Because he liked to play in the water.

B. Because he did not want to go to school.

C. Because he wanted to enjoy some peace and quiet there.

D. Because he thought it was more fun than staying at home.

【2】What does the word “resilience” mean?

A. Being able to forget things quickly.

B. Being able to deal well with problems.

C. Never letting yourself get into trouble.

D. Being at the breaking point.

【3】According to the story, Which of the following situations is acceptable(可以接受)？

A. Allen failed in the exam yesterday and he was too afraid to tell his parents.

B. William failed to win the contest prize, so he gave up after that and never tried again.

C. Nancy has good grades in every subject, so she thinks she is better than everyone.

D. Grace lost in the last game, but she kept practicing and finally won next time.

28、   About twenty of us had been lucky enough to receive invitations to a film-studio to take part in a crowd-scene (群众演员). Although our “act” would l【1】 only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.

We all stood at the far end of the studio just a【2】 workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge (边缘) of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position.... E【3】 was ready for the film with their effort. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, we were s【4】 to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers(羽毛) down on him, and soon the trees were covered in “s【5】”. Two more big fans were turned on, and a “strong wind” blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.

The next scene was a complete contrast(对比，反差). The way it was filmed was quite u【6】. Pictures in front taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and an actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if(仿佛) they were at the water’s edge on an island,breathing the fresh air from the sea. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been b【7】 into the studio! We were lost in such a fantastic situation.
