The Meanings of Dreams

  Sleep and dreams have interested people for centuries.Scientists are learning more about sleep, but they still know very little about why we dream.

    1   First, we have most of our dreams during REM(rapid eye movement)sleep.At this time, the brain is very active.Second, everyone dreams-even if we cannot remember doing so when we awaken.  2   While we are asleep, it works more slowly and sometimes puts our thoughts and memories together in strange ways.

    3   Some believe that our dreams are associated with thoughts and feelings that we experience while we are awake.Many dream researchers think that a dream about death, for example, is really about an important life change.  4   Dreams about a car or travel often represent feelings about your own life.Dreams about teeth-especially broken or loose ones may indicate stress and fear.Dreams in which you are flying often represent freedom or escape.

  Researchers think people in our dreams can tell us something about ourselves.If the person in the dream was yelling(叫喊), for example, maybe you are angry.  5  

There is still a lot about dreaming that we do not understand.By learning more about our dreams, we may learn more about ourselves.

A.Dreams may be more important than sleep.

B.Scientists do not know for certain why we dream.

C.If he or she was terrified, then maybe you are afraid of something.

D.Modern research can tell us some important things about dreams.

E.There are three things you should pay attention to to have a sweet dream.

F.Finally, a part of our brain helps us to understand daily experiences we have.

G.Dreams about telephones are thought to be about giving or receiving an important message.

  While we have complained about budgets in accounting or fallen asleep in a carpool line, our children have been listening and watching.The stresses of our jobs are spilling over into our home lives, and our kids are worried about us.A new survey, “Ask the Children”, conducted by the Family and Work Institute of New York City, asked more than 1000 kids between the ages of 8 and 18 about their parents’ work lives.“If you were granted one wish to change the way your parents’ work affected your life, ” the survey asked kids, “what would that wish be?” Most parents assumed that children would want more time with them, but only 10% did.Instead, the most common wish(among 34%)was that parents would be less stressed and tired by work.

  Alison Levin is the mother of three young children and a professional in the accounting firm Pricewater-house Coopers.Levin counsels employees who are overwhelmed(压倒)by their work and family obligations to carefully review their commitments.“It’s not about getting up earlier in the morning so you can get more done, ” she says.“It’s about saying no and making choices.” Working parents, she adds, should be fully home when they are home.

  We can start by leaving work, and thoughts of work, behind as soon as we start the trip home.Think about how to make the most of the upcoming time with your family.And do something to get yourself in a good mood, whether it’s listening to music in the car or reading a novel on the train, rather than returning calls on the cell phone, and stay away from e-mail.

  Remember too that your kids are learning about the world of work from you, so when they ask about your day, be sure to tell them about something good that happened.(In the survey, 69% of moms said they liked their work, but only 42% of kids thought they did.)

  Parents can also distress by cutting back on their children’s activities.If keeping up with your kid’s schedule is killing you, you might insist that he choose between karate(空手道)lessons and the theatre troupe.Parents should also sneak away from work and family occasionally to feed their own interests and have fun.

get up early in the morning to get more done

  In 1780 James Watt produced art efficient steam engine which powered 40 machines in a Glasgow factory. That date is normally taken as the beginning of the Industrial Age. Since then, industrial development has changed our way of life more and more. The revolution in communications, for example, has made the world seem much smaller. The invention of the telephones in 1876 by another Scotsman, Bell, and Marconi's first radio broadcast 19 years later were both important developments. But the Italian inventor’s early radios seem very primitive compared with modern portable radios. These were made possible by the invention of the transistor by W. B. Shockley in the USA in 1948. This device replaced the valve in radios.

  There have been many changes in transport, too, since the development of the wheel, 6, 000 years ago. Daimler and Benz, both Germans, built one of the first practical petrol-driven motor cars in 1885. Only 18 years later, the Wright brothers, from America, flew their first plane.

  Now, we have jets and, since the work of Christopher Cockerell in Britain in the 1950's, the hovercraft.

  In medicine, the most significant advance came in 1928, when Sir Alexander Fleming, also an Englishman, discovered penicillin, which has saved countless lives since.

1.Which of these was invented or discovered first? Put them in order.

A.the telephone B. penicillin   C. the transistor D. the steam engine

E. radio    F. the plane   G. the motor car H. the wheel

1_____ 2 ______ 3 ______ 4 _______ 5 _______ 6 _______ 7 _______ 8 _______

2.James Watt was _______

A.a Scottish engineer.   B. an English engineers

C.an Italian engineer.   D. a German engineer.

3.Our way of life has changed greatly ever since  

A.James Watt produced an efficient steam engine.

B.the revolution in communications.

C.the discovery of penicillin.

D.we have jets.

4.Choose the right words to complete the sentences.

A.Bell    the telephone in 1876.

请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后备题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

  But, plenty of us do.

  A Princeton University research found that 22 per cent of Americans.say e-mail has added to their work pressures and caused misunderstandings.Here’s a guide on e-mail etiquette(礼节)to help you avoid being annoying.

  Experts say there are three.types of e-mails with different rules-close friends, office and public e-mails.

The close friends e-mail

  You can send your lover, your closest friends and your siblings(brothers and sisters)anything, from jokes to “you got to see this!”.But bear in mind that not everyone shares your sense of humour and you may expose them to viruses.

The office e-mail

  Don’t add to people’s workload.Keep e-mails short and to the point.

  ◆Make the subject line factual and brief.

  ◆Write in clear, concise(简练的)sentences.

  ◆Provide your name and phone number at the end.

The public e-mail

  Occasionally we have to send an e-mail to a group of people.If possible, write your public e-mails with a who, what, when, where structure.For example:

  Who:All members of the soccer team

  What:Team photo

  When:Saturday, March 25, at noon

  Where:Playing field 2.

  Finally, before you hit “Send”, check the following:

  ◆Is the e-mail a “flame”? Never send an e-mail in anger, It could stay around forever and haunt(萦绕心头)your professional and personal life.

  ◆Check the“To”field.Is this really who you want to send the message to?
