Many people feel that dream is unique to humans.However,many dog owners will likely disagree on that.They have noticed that their dogs at various times during the sleep may shake legs,snort(哼)and sometimes growl(低声吼叫) which gives the impression that they are dreaming.These things may wonder us about whether dogs dream.
Scientists confirm that dogs probably do dream.It turns out that dog brains and human brains have many similarities during sleep cycles.Researchers used special machines to measure electrical activity in a dog's brain and human's brain.Scientists already knew that when humans dream,a certain part of the brain is active during sleep.Researchers discovered that the same part of the brain is active in sleeping dogs.Scientists have other data that back up these findings.
Many people dream that they are trying to move but cannot.Interestingly,part of that experience is not a dream.When people sleep,the brain produces a chemical that causes the dreamer to become temporarily paralyzed(使麻痹).Researchers think this happens so that people cannot physically act out dreams while they are sleeping.Dog brains make the same chemical.In one study during which this chemical was blocked,sleeping test dogs performed physical activities,such as standing up,sniffing around the room for imaginary rabbits,or chasing imaginary balls.
Because of these similarities,researchers believe that the content of a dog's dream might come from the same source as a human's dream. "People's dreams are usually based on things they did that day," says Dr.Samantha Hudspith. "So there is reason to believe that dogs dream about the things they've done that day.Of course,there will never be a way to prove this.Dogs cannot describe their dreams the way that humans can."
What does the underlined phrase "back up" mean in the second paragraph? ______
A. Support. B. Disagree. C. Show. D. Record.
What happened to a sleeping dog when this chemical mentioned in paragraph 3 was cut off? ______
A. It woke up. B. It stopped dreaming.
C. It acted out its dream. D. It couldn't move its body.
How is the text mainly developed? ______
A. By telling stories. B. By giving examples.
C. By comparing details. D. By listing differences.
What is the best title for the text? ______
A. Why Do Dogs Dream?
B. Do Dogs Dream?
C. Signs of Dog Dreams
D. Similarities Between Humans and Dogs
C
What is talent?Are you born with it?Or does it seem to develop over time?Before I start I'd like to say that one thing everyone agrees on is that the most skilled musicians have worked hard to get there.
While it's true that a few of us had enough "talent" to avoid extra practice to do just as well as those who did,those who worked hard easily beat us.It is,in fact,very likely that if some of us "talented ones" had actually been practicing and improving our skill,we would have achieved a whole different level.
Another aspect of talent seems to be heart and passion(酷爱).The people I see who are the most talented musicians are crazy about music.They eat,breathe,and live music and they make an extraordinary effort to make it part of their lives.As Remus Badea said,desire for the musician-to-be is significant for them to be successful.This desire is easily found in those considered to be talented.When you want and love something so bad,it drives you and your entire character can be shaped around it.Such determined passion seems to produce incredible skill and talent.
The third aspect (方面) of talent is having talent around you.When surrounded by talented musicians,it only seems natural that you start to catch up to their level.Take a look at almost any group of musicians in history.The more talented people in the group the more talented the group is as a whole.A great example of this is the relationship between audio producer and artist.The artist turns up to the studio with their song,and as they work through recording it,the audio producer will often suggest various changes to the song to make it better.
What can we learn from Paragraph 2? ______
A. Talent determines achievements.
B. It's never too old to learn.
C. Pride goes before a fall.
D. Practice contributes to talent.
What is the key to success according to Remus Badea? ______
A. Skill. B. Character. C. Passion. D. Talent.
Why is the example mentioned in the last paragraph? ______
A. To introduce what real talents are.
B. To show the benefits of being with talents.
C. To prove talents need team spirit.
D. To explain how a song is composed.
What might the author probably agree with? ______
A. Musicians are created,not born.
B. Musicians are born with talent.
C. Music favors the talented.
D. Music has no limits.

On March 2,at the meeting held ahead of the yearly session of the CPPCC National Committee(全国政协大会),interpreter(口译员)Yao Mengyao caught the attention of many with her "quick reaction and correct translation," Xinhua noted.
Yao began her studies in English in primary school where she would listen to English tapes.
She often spoke to her teacher about English-related topics that were not limited to the ones in her textbooks,"They were always very professional uncommon topics," said Yao's senior school teacher Shen Yingzi.
Like Yao,Zhang Lu is a regular interpreter for China's top leaders,including Premier Li Keqing and former Premier Wen Jiabao.Her effortless but on-point translations of ancient poems mentioned by former Premier Wen won praise.
So how do interpreters reach their top positions?
The reason for their success is largely hard work.Other than when they go out on visits with Chinese leaders,the interpreters follow a very strict schedule.Zhang called this schedule "an unshakable plan".They listen to foreign media such as BBC,VOA or CNN through TV or radio for their training.
It is reported that a month before the two sessions(两会),the interpreters get notice of the spokesperson they are going to interpret for.They then make full use of this month to prepare themselves.They try to predict the questions that might be asked and consider the sayings the spokesperson might use when they answer the questions.
In truth,there is no secret to their success:It's all a matter of skill and hard work.
What can be inferred from the second paragraph? ______
A. Yao tried to make a speech in English.
B. Yao showed a strong interest in English.
C. The textbooks didn't interest Yao at all.
D. The teacher got tired of Yao's endless questions.
Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word in Paragraph 3? ______
A. Frequent. B. Ordinary. C. Organized. D. Serious.
What should interpreters try to do before the two sessions? ______
A. Make a schedule for foreign visits.
B. Go out on visits with Chinese leaders.
C. Predict the questions to be asked.
D. Discuss with their teammates.
How do the interpreters reach the top positions? ______
A. By working hard. B. By travelling abroad.
C. By making a strict schedule. D. By following the leaders.
