Let us begin by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source .They are not a look into the future, either.

All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold , his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.

So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has influence on you while you are sleeping（feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.）and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.

To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands!

There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out.

One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?”. Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at his desk.  So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right.” But you’ve put a bug in his ear一maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend，you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he did not realize that morning. It starts worrying him a little．First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily（愉快的） on your way asking someone else “How do you feel?”.

    Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for example, to ask “How do you feel?’’ if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow（家伙） is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question．

    When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feel”, Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age”, he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”

When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.

Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.

25. You can see the book because__________.

C. it has light of its own　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. it reflects some of the sunlight

26. The underlined word “l(fā)uminous” means__________.

A. visible（可見的）　 B. all colors　　　　　　　 C. giving off light　　　　 D. sunlight

27. Which of the following is true?　

A. All the things you can see give off light.

B. Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.

C. Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.

D. The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.

Suppose you are going to Boston, and you have never visited the city before. If someone tells you about the interesting places in the city, you 　 15　 to get some ideas of what you will see, but don’t have a 　 16　 idea of where these places are or of how to find them.

Working in math is somewhat（有點(diǎn)兒） like trying to find your way 　 20　 a new city. Perhaps the words may tell you some information and you have 　21　 it, but you can’t see any clear road 　 22　 　the answers.

Maybe you need to have a kind of map of the main roads in maths 　 23　 you find your way. Explore what lies in maths, and try your best to find the main roads. They will 　 24
