Did you have any interesting dreams last night
Our dreams come from a part of the brain that has our thoughts and memories. A person can have up to six dreams a night, and each dream usually lasts from 10 to 40 minutes. Everyone dreams, but not everyone remembers their dreams. Most people dream in color, usually with sound. And we usually dream about ourselves and the people we know.
Why Do We Dream
Alan Siegel is a scientist who studies dreams. "Dreams help us get in touch with our deeper feelings, he says. "They can tell us a lot about ourselves, and can help us understand our problems. 55 Another scientist, Robert Stickgold, thinks dreams come from our memories. He believes we dream to remember, because memories are usefill to the brain. Stickgold says the purpose of dreaming through these memories is to help us learn from the past.
Here are a few kinds of dreams and what people think they mean.
Dream 1: You Meet Someone While in Your Pajamas (睡衣)
Sometimes people dream that they meet someone they know while wearing their underwear (or nothing at all). This dream may be the result of an embarrassing event in your life. Some people think we dream about embarrassing situations 迁 our brains are trying to deal with an event in our own lives.
Dream 2: You're Flying.
If you dream about flying, you are probably quite happy. This is a good period in your life. You may feel that other people see you as a leader.
Dream 3: You Didn't Study for a Test
This probably means you are worried about an important event coming in your life. If you're not prepared for the event, your dream may be telling you, “It's time to get to work!,,
Dream 4: Someone's Running after You
If you dream someone is running after you, it may tell you should face the problems in your life instead of giving it up.
7. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Dreams have different kinds.
B. Dreams come from only one part of the brain.
C. Everyone has dreams, but not everyone remembers them.
D. Dreams can help us to understand our feelings and problems.
8. Which dream from the passage might they have, if someone says, "My concert is tomorrow, and I haven’t had time to practice"
A. Dream 1: You Meet Someone While in Your Pajamas B. Dream 2: You're Flying
C. Dream 3: You Didn't Study for a Test D. Dream 4: Someone's Running after You.

When Oliver arrived in this hard world, it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond the first three minutes. He lay on a hard little bed and struggled to start breathing.
Oliver fought his first battle without much help from the two people present at his birth. One was an old woman, who was nearly always drunk, and the other was a busy local doctor, who was not paid enough to be very interested in Oliver’s survive.
However, Oliver managed to draw his first breath, and then announced his arrival by crying loudly. His mother raised her pale young face and whispered, “let me see it.”
The doctor turned away from the fire, where he had been warming his hands. He gave her the child. Lovingly, she kissed the baby with her cold white lips, then stared wildly around the room, fell back—and died.
The doctor began to put on his coat. “The mother was a good-looking girl. Where did she come from ”
“She was brought here last night,” replied the old woman. “She was found lying in the street. Where she came from, or what her name was, nobody knows.”
The doctor lifted the girl’s left hand. “The old story, ” he shook his head. “No wedding ring, I see. Ah! Good night.”
And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse. He was then sent to a special “baby farm” nearby. There, he and thirty other children rolled (翻滚) around the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing. Mrs. Mann, who “looked after” them, was very experienced. She knew what was good for children. She also knew what was good for herself. The board (董事会) responsible for the orphans (孤儿) sometimes checked on the health of the children, but they always sent Mr. Bumble, a kind local policeman, to announce their visit the day before. So whenever the board arrived, of course, the children were always neat and clean.
On Oliver’s ninth birthday, Mr. Bumble came to see Mrs. Mann. Through the front window, Mrs. Mann saw him at the gate, and turned quickly to the girl who worked with her.
“Quick! Take Oliver and those others upstairs to be washed!” she said. Then she ran out to unlock the gate which was always kept locked.
10.What was the weather like when Oliver was born
A.warm B.cool C.cold D.hot
11.According to the passage, the gate of the baby farm was always kept locked in order to _______.
A.protect the children inside from dangers outside
B.prevent officers walking in unexpectedly
C.keep the children inside working all the time
D.make sure the children were always neat and clean
12.What does the underlined sentence “without the inconvenience of too much food or too much
clothing” probably mean according to the passage
A.Oliver and other children had enough food and clothing.
B.Oliver and other children didn’t have enough food or clothing.
C.Oliver and other children had no food or clothing at all.
D.Oliver and other children had a very good time in the baby farm.
13.Which is the right order according to the passage
a. Oliver was sent to a special “baby farm” nearby.
b. Mrs. Mann ran out to unlock the gate.
c. Oliver lay on a hard little bed and struggled to start breathing.

To write a great news story, you have to make sure it is correct, relevant (相关的) and fresh.
For a start, all the information in a story must be correct. Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts.
Any mistakes that show up in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble.
For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong. He wasn’t the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake.
A news story does not only have to be correct, but it must also be relevant to its readers. People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them. That’s why you care more about what happens at your school than at schools in America. It’s also why newspapers in Beijing don’t talk much about news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.
Finally, news must always be fresh. When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happened that day. You don’t want to read about news from last week!
So, now you know what makes a good news story. Have a look at our paper and see if it’s full of good news! You can try writing a news story for our paper like a real reporter.
Introduction One must pay attention to three aspects(方面) when 2 a great news story.
Main body All the information , 3 the spelling, grammar and facts, must be correct, otherwise, the newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of the mistakes. A news story must be relevant to the readers. When you write one, you should talk a lot about 4 news. News must be fresh. The latest news would be the most 5 .
