    Dreaming is believing, claim researchers of a new study, who found that dreams have an effect on people’s behavior, judgment and they might contain important hidden truths as well.
    “Psychologists’ explanations of the meaning of dreams vary widely. But our findings show that people believe their dreams provide meaningful insightinto themselves and their world,” said a lead author of the study Carey Morewedge, an assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon University.
    In six different studies, researchers surveyed nearly 1,100 people about their dreams. One of the studies focused on general beliefs about dreams and involved 149 university students. All students were asked to rate different theories about dreams. The experts found that a surprising majority of the participants supported the theory about dreams revealing(揭示) the hidden truths about themselves and the rest of the world.
    In a second experiment, they surveyed 182 people at a Boston train station, and asked them to imagine one out of four possible situation that could have occurred the night before a scheduled airline trip. Most of the participants said that dreaming of a plane crash would be more likely to affect their travel plans than would just thinking about a crash, or being warned by the government of a terrorism risk. They said a dreamed crash would influence their travel plans just as much as learning about a real crash on their planned route would.
    Another experiment involved 270 men and women from across the United States. In a short online survey, they were asked to recall one of the dreams they had seen about any person they knew.
    The findings showed that people were more likely to remember and describe pleasant dreams about a person they liked, rather than a person they disliked. Meanwhile, in most cases they tended to consider an unpleasant dream as more meaningful if it was about a person they disliked.
    “In other words,” said Morewedge, “people attribute meaning to dreams when it corresponds (与……一致) with their pre-existing beliefs and desires.”
    The researchers say that more investigation is needed to fully understand how people interpret their dreams. According to Morewedge, most people realize that dreams are not predicting their future, but they still try to find some meaning in there.
    小题1:. The purpose of the studies is to         .
    A．determine when people tend to remember their dreams
    B．research whether dreams have anything to do with real life
    C．find out how people explain their dreams and what impact that has
    D．understand what causes people to dream and how to interpret dreams
    小题2: According to the second experiment, what might influence people’s travel plans most?
    A．Thinking about a past plane crash.
    B．Dreaming about a plane crash.
    C．Hearing a government’s warning of a terrorism risk.
    D．Imagining a plane crashing on their planned route.
    小题3:. What can be concluded from the study?
    A．Dreams can be a useful tool for learning and problem solving.
    B．Most people disagree that dreams help them better know themselves and the world.
    C．A majority of people believes that dreams can predict their future and try to find their meaning.
    D．When a dream conflicts with people’s existing beliefs and desires, they tend to attribute less meaning to it.
    小题4:. Which kind of dream is seen as more meaningful than the rest?
    A．A pleasant dream about a person the dreamer likes.
    B．A pleasant dream about a person the dreamer dislikes
    C．An unpleasant dream about a person the dreamer likes.
    D．An unpleasant dream about a person the dreamer dislikes.

    Most Americans have great respect for their flag and every school day begins with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Stars and Stripes. Written in 1892, this pledge is recited in schools before classes begin and it serves as a sign of unity and identity for the various groups of people who have come from so many different lands and cultures.
    Students stand at attention with their right hand over their heart, face the flag which is displayed in the classroom before them and begin, “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.” Even the immigrants who come from distant lands must recite this pledge to the flag when they become eligible for citizenship.
    The American flag is also known as “Old Glory” and over the years has evolved to its present form of fifty stars and thirteen stripes. The stars represent the fifty states and the stripes stand for the original thirteen colonies.
    The first version of the flag with its stars and stripes appeared in 1777, but only had thirteen stars. As each new state joined the union, a new star was added. The last star to be added was in 1960 after Hawaii became the fiftieth state. In the future if another state joins the Union, another star will be added to the field of blue. The number of stripes, however, remains consistent and never changes.
    The design of the flag may have altered over the years, but the colors, red, white and blue, have remained constant. In 1782 the Congress of the United States proclaimed that red stood for hardiness and courage, white stood for purity and innocence, and blue for justice and perseverance.
    It was the flag which inspired the creation of the national anthem: “The Star Spangled Banner” in 1812. President Wilson in 1916 and later President Coolidge in 1927 suggested in proclamations to fellow countrymen that a special day be set aside to honor the flag. In 1949 the American Congress gave official recognition of June 14 as Flag Day.
    小题1:According to the passage which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A．The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892.
    B．Another name of the American flag is “Old Glory” or “The Stars and Stripes”.
    C．The design of the flag has stayed the same over the years.
    D．June 14 was set aside as Flag Day to honor the flag from 1949 on.
    小题2:What is the purpose of the Pledge of Allegiance?
    A．It opens the school day.B．It is recited in all schools.
    C．It is a sign of unity and nationalism.D．It makes someone eligible for citizenship.
    小题3:What do the fifty stars on the flag represent?
    A．Purity and innocence.B．Truth and honesty
    C．Bravery and courageD．The fifty states.
    小题4:The colors of the American flag ________.
    A．have changed from time to time.B．have always been red, white and blue.
    C．used to be only red and white.D．used to be red and blue.
    小题5:The best title of the passage would be ________.
    A．“Old Glory”: the American FlagB．The Pledge of Allegiance
    C．American National AnthemD．Flag Day

    What is the relationship between violence and sports? Psychologists say that there are many reasons for violence at sports events. One is alcohol. Many fans drink a lot at games. When people drink, they are more likely to do abnormal things. Psychologist Dennis Brock says, “Quiet people become loud. Normally nonviolent people become destructive． ”
    David Sampson, a sports sociologist, says, “These are often celebratory riots— a large number of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol. They don’t often seem dangerous in the beginning, but things get violent quickly． ”
    Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd. When individuals are in a large group of people, they can lose their sense of personal responsibility. Edward Hirt, a social Psychologist, says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never do alone. People in crowds feel anonymous — no one knows who they are. Crowds also make people feel powerful. They stop making personal decisions. They just follow the crowd. Social psychologists call this a “mob mentality．”
    Dave Zarifis, head of public safety says, “Some people don’t even come to celebrate. They want to drink hard and make trouble. Someone does something stupid, and it grows from there. You get a mob mentality. People think it’s OK to do almost anything. They think, ‘There are so many of us and not enough of them． ’ ”
    Social psychologist Dr. Sharon Kennedy says that there are some things officials can do to prevent violence. Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is very important. Officials should also think of games as “big parties．” Then they will prepare differently. Kennedy says that in Great Britain they are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums. “When you know someone is watching, you are much less likely to behave badly． ”
    小题1:Which of the following best gives the main idea of the first two paragraphs? 
    A．There’s a connection between violence and sports
    B．One cause of violence at sports events is alcohol．
    C．There are many reasons for violence at sports events．
    D．David Sampson and Dennis Brock have the same opinion．
    小题2:Which of the following does NOT belong to a “mob mentality”?
    A．“I must drink some alcohol to stop myself feeling shy． ”
    B．“ It’s safe to do what many people are doing． ”
    C．“There are so many of us and not enough of them． ”
    D．“ No one knows I’m doing this． ”
    小题3:How many experts are quoted by the writer of this passage?
    A．Two．B．Four．C．Three．D．Five．
    小题4:The last paragraph is mainly about ______．
    A．how to turn games into big parties
    B．why to install cameras in stadiums
    C．how to prevent violence at sports events
    D．how to avoid oneself behaving badly
    小题5:What lesson can we learn from this passage?
    A．Never drink any alcohol no matter where you are．
    B．Whenever you are watching a game, you should keep quiet．
    C．Never follow blindly no matter how many people are doing something．
    D．Be careful when you are at a stadium because there are cameras there．

    Many schools have established successful home visit programs. Home visits by teachers let parents and children know how much teachers care. Also, it is a way for teachers to learn more about their students , get the parents to pay more attention to their children’s education and bridge cultural gaps that might exist between students and teachers. Most teachers report that their home visits have a lasting effect on the child, the parents and on parent—teacher communication.
    The Head Start program has used home visits for many years. Head Start teachers are required to make at least two home visits for each student, regardless of their ability, during each school year in addition to regular parent-teacher conferences at school. Many U.S. kindergartens also require home visits by teachers before school starts.
    The visit approach varies from school to school and usually depends on the funding the source. In some schools, teachers prefer to visit in pairs. They feel more comfortable that way and sometimes need a translator in order to communicate with a child’s parents. Other teachers visit one-on-one with parents. Some interact with both the child and the parent. Many teachers may bring along learning activities for the child that also involve the parents participation. Normally, visits can last from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the teacher and the activities.
    When teachers get to know their students and their students’ families, the parents become more active in their children’s education. Home visits, not unnecessary as some people think, can give teachers the ideas they need to help all students succeed.
    小题1: Home visits by teachers can         
    A．bridge cultural gaps existing between parents and teachers.
    B．get students know that their teachers care about their parents.
    C．get parents involved in their children’s education.
    D．help establish good relationships between parents and children.
    小题2:From the second paragraph we know that home visits       
    A．are not a new idea
    B．are traditionally done by teachers before school starts
    C．are meant for students with low marks
    D．have replaced parent-teacher meeting
    小题3:What is the third paragraph about?
    A．Reasons for home visists
    B．Forms of home visits
    C．Advantages of home visits
    D．Tips for home visits
    小题4: What is the effect of home visits?
    A．Parents have more opportunities to play with children
    B．Students can succeed more easily through their own efforts.
    C．Parents play a decisive role in children’s education.
    D．Teachers can learn more about how to help students.

    For several years, scientists have been testing a substance called interferon(干扰素), a possible wonder drug that is proving to be effective in treating a variety of diseases, including virus infections, bacterial infections, and cancers. To date, the new drug has no side effect of great influence to discourage its use.  But in spite of its success, last year only one gram was produced in the entire world.
    The reason for the shortage lies in the structure of interferon. A special protein, the interferon produced from one animal species cannot be used in treating another animal species. In other words, to treat human beings, only interferon produced by human beings may be used. The drug is produced by infecting white blood cells with a virus. Fortunately, it is so effective that the amount given to each patient each time is very small.
    Unlike antibiotics (抗生素), interferon does not attack germs directly. Instead, it protects healthy cells from being infected, and prevents the reproduction of viruses within cells.
    As you might conclude, one of the most special uses of interferon has been in the treatment of cancer. Dr. Hans Strander, a research physician at Sweden’s famous Karolinska Institute, has treated more than one hundred cancer patients with the new drug. Among a group of selected patients who had received operations for advanced cancer, half were given  traditional treatments and the other half were given interferon. Among those treated with interferon 70 percent of them remained alive over three years, as compared with only 10 to 30 percent among those who had received the traditional treatments.
    In the United States, a large-scale project supported by the American Cancer Society is now under way. If the experiment were successful, interferon could become one of the greatest medical discoveries of our time.
    小题1:What is the difference between antibiotics and interferon?
    A．Interferon has serious side effects, while antibiotics do not.
    B．Antibiotics kill germs by attacking them directly, while interferon does not.
    C．Antibiotics are very effective, while the effect of interferon is limited.
    D．They are different in structure, although they are both proteins.
    小题2:According to the passage, if 170 cancer patients received interferon treatment, how many of them would remain alive over three years?
    A．About 30.
    B．About 50.
    C．About 120.
    D．About 70.
    小题3:The passage tells us that ________.
    A．it is difficult to produce interferon in large quantities because of its special structure.
    B．interferon is produced widely in lots of countries.
    C．few of the patients who had received traditional treatments remained alive.
    D．most of the patients who received interferon also needed traditional treatments.

       As they migrate（迁移) , butterflies and moths choose the winds they want to fly with, and they change their body positions if they start floating in the wrong direction. This new finding suggests that insects may employ some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances. Scientists have long thought that insects were simply at the mercy of the wind.
    Fascinating as their skills of flight are, migrating behavior has been difficult to study in insects because many long distant trips happen thousands of feet above ground. Only recently have scientists developed technologies that can detect such little creatures at such great heights.
    To their surprise, though, the insects weren't passive travelers on the winds. In autumn, for example, most light winds blew from the east, but the insects somehow sought out ones that carried them south and they positioned themselves to navigate directly to their wintering homes.
    Even in the spring, when most winds flowed northward, the insects didn't always go with the flow. If breezes weren't blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go, the insects changed their body positions to compensate. Many migrating birds do the same thing.
    The study also found, butterflies and moths actively flew within the air streams that pushed them along. By adding flight speeds to wind speeds, the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as fast as 100 kilometers an hour. The findings may have real-world applications. With climate warming, migrating insects are growing in number. Knowing how and when these pests move could help when farmers decide when to spray their crops.
    小题1: What's the main idea of the text?
    A．Windsurfing insects have real direction.
    B．Wind helps insects greatly in migrating.
    C．Insects migrate with the seasons.
    D．Scientists have trouble in observing insects.
    小题2:Scientists originally thought that _____.
    A．insects were just blown about by the wind
    B．insects chose the winds they wanted to ride
    C．insects always waited for their favourable winds
    D．insects positioned themselves in the winds
    小题3: It is not easy to study the migrating behavior of the insects because ______.
    A．the little creatures can fly very fast
    B．their flight is long and high above ground
    C．the wind's direction is hard to foresee
    D．they have no regular migrating courses
    小题4: We can learn from the text that _____.
    A．insects never position themselves when flying low
    B．insects travel more easily in autumn
    C．insects fly in the way birds do
    D．insects rest a lot when the wind pushes them along

    The bar-tailed godwit （斑尾鷸）has just broken its own record for the world’s longest non-stop flight, including humans in planes, according to a report made by Lund University Press. The bird can fly non-stop for eight days, while the most impressive man-made airplane can only remain in the sky for 82 hours without a stop.
    The bar-tailed godwit’s journey, from Alaska to New Zealand, covers over 6,835 miles. It completes this trip twice a year, in autumn going to New Zealand, and in spring back to Alaska. The tireless bird ends the trip without stopping once for food or rest. All other birds can only finish trips that are twice as short as what the bar-tailed godwit travels.
    One reason for the bar-tailed godwit’s success is that it has made the best use of its fuel, which is only 0.41 percent of its body weight over each hour of any given long flight. Hedenstrom, a professor from Lund University, says, “This figure is extremely low compared with other birds.” The bird also has a special body shape that helps it fly easily. It stores body fat and protein to manage its trips. It also travels fast, compared to other birds and animals.
    Many questions remain about this bird record holder that never gets lost in the air. Researchers wonder whether it has an inside compass (指南针) that helps it to know the direction. Please watch how beautiful bar-tailed godwits look as they come in for a landing, along with other birds.
    小题1:For the flight from Alaska to New Zealand, the bar-tailed godwit__________
    A．doesn’t need to stop to eat
    B．is afraid of hot weather
    C．seems very tired at last
    D．should fly less than 7,000 meters
    小题2:The main reason why the bar-tailed godwit can break the record is that it ______.
    A．eats little food every hour
    B．has a special body shape
    C．stores much water in its body
    D．has very light body weight
    小题3:The last paragraph tells us that _________.
    A．researchers have understood the bird very well
    B．the bird has a very good sense of direction
    C．there are still many who doubt the bird’s ability
    D．the bird has an inner compass
