When I was in high school, I had a recurring(反复的) dream of my teeth falling out. I dreamt about my teeth just about every night for at least three weeks. Sometimes they would fall out one at a time, sometimes all at once. I became terrified that my dreams meant I would actually lose my teeth. Nine years later and about a million trips to the dreams, I still have a full set of teeth, but I’ve learned that when we’re experiencing stress in our lives, it tends to show up in our dreams as well.
Miller says losing teeth indicates burdens that crush your pride. If your teeth are knocked out, you’ll have sudden misfortune. Other explanations for dreams about lost teeth are that the dreamer is feeling powerless in life and may be in a transitional(过度的) period from one situation of life to another. Some experts believe that dreams of losing teeth today show we’re just as insecure and uncertain as we were in childhood.
When I dreamt about my teeth back in high school, I was trying to choose a college— a stressful decision. The dreams resurfaced when college graduation rolled around four years later and I’m sure they’ll start again when I graduate.
A little of stress in our everyday lives is normal. But sometimes it becomes such a regular occurrence in our lives that it influences our dreams and causes us to lose valuable sleep. Understanding our dreams is key to identifying and ending stress in our waking hours and restoring peace to our nighttime hours.

阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的词数要求)
Slow down, multitaskers
Think you can walk, drive, take phone calls, e – mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York′s new law says you can′t. And you′ll be fined $ 100 if you do it on a New York City street.
The law went into force last month, following the conclusion of a recent research that a shocking number of accidents are relevant to people using electronic gadgets (小玩意儿) when crossing the street.
Who′s to blame? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited. “We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can,” says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a core limitation is the inability to concentrate on two things at once.”
The young are often considered the great multitaskers, but a research suggests this perception is open to question. A group of 18 – to 21 – year – olds and a group of 35 – to 39 – year – olds were given 90 seconds to translate images into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better than the older group . But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or an instant message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and accuracy.
It is difficult to measure the productivity lost by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spira, chief analyst at Basex, a business – research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $ 650 billion a year. The estimate is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys concluded that 28 percent of the worker′s time was spent on interruptions and recovery time before they returned to their main tasks.
1.What′s the purpose of writing this passage? (Please answer within 15 words.)
2.Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
People take it for granted that young people are good multitaskers, however, the idea needs to be further proved, a research says.
3.Please fill in the blank in the 4th paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.)
4.Are you a multitasker? What′s your opinion of New York′s new law? (Please answer within 30 words.)
5.Translate the underlined sentence in the 2nd paragraph into Chinese.
