Man has a big brain. He can think, learn and speak. Scientists once thought that men are different from animals because they can think and learn. They know that animals can learn—dogs, rats, birds can learn. So scientists are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry, or unhappy. Apes(猿) can understand some things more quickly than human, one or two have learnt a few words. But they are still different from us. They cannot join words and make sentences; they cannot think like us because they have no language. They can never think about the past or the future.

Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to build a modern world because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five—but no animal learns to speak. How do children learn? What happens when we speak? Scientists do not know.

They only know that man can speak because he has a big brain.

1.In what way are men different from animals?

When you tidy your messy bedroom, it gets a lot easier to find things. Dreams may work the same way for a messy brain, helping you learn by organizing memories and ideas.

To test how much dreams can help learning, Robert Stickgold had some students play a shape-fitting game called Tetris (饿罗斯方块) for a few hours and then go to sleep. Soon they were dreaming of falling Tetris shapes. Interestingly, the worst Tetris players had the most Tetris dreams and improved their game the most. Similar tests have shown the same results for all kinds of skills.

As we dream, many important tasks are getting done. The brain decides what to keep and what to forget. It is connecting new experiences to older learning. In fact, the brain is learning all night long.

Another important task of dreams may be to help us deal with emotions(情绪). At night, emotions are in the driver's seat. People who have had an upsetting experience often dream about it afterward. Often the dream event changes somehow--another way the brain tries to make the memory less upset. So if your best friend moves away, you might dream that you're the one who's moving. In fact, dreams have a proven power to improve mood, and people who dream about what's bothering them usually feel better sooner than those who don't.

Everybody dreams for a couple of hours every night--in the course of your life, you'll spend about 25 years asleep and 6 years dreaming. There's probably no single answer to the question why we dream, but there doesn't have to be. One dream might help you remember your math facts, while another might lead to a new invention, or give you a fun, crazy story to tell your friends. It's all in a night's work for our busy, mysterious brains.

1.Robert Stickgold's test shows that________.

A. games are useful for memory

B. tasks can only be settled through dreams

C. players stop learning in dreams

D. dreams can help improve skills

2.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that_______ .

A. dreams can get rid of sufferings

B. only drivers can deal with emotions

C. one may be less upset after a dream

D. dreams can copy what one experienced

3.Which of the following does the author probably agree with?

A. Dreaming does harm to one's mood.

B. Dreaming affects the quality of sleep.

C. It's not so important to know the cause of dreaming.

D. It's hard to find out the secrets of dreaming.

4.What does the text focus on?

A. Dreams and memories. B. The patterns of dreams.

C. Dreams and emotions. D. The benefits of dreams.

读写任务

How many times have you heard the expression that most people spend more time planning their vacation than they do planning their lives. I would expand that expression by adding that most people spend more time "thinking" about their vacation than they do thinking about what's important in their life.

While rest and relaxation are a must in living a balanced life, it's now what we were created to do. After all, the Master Creator took his R&R (Rest and Recreation) on the seventh day, only after six days of "definitely directed thought."

Wallace D. Wattles, wrote "There is no labor from which most people shrink as they do from that of sustained and continuous thought; it is the hardest work in the world." And yet it is the first and primary labor of achievement.

What is your life's purpose or your personal mission statement? Is it written down? Do you review it and think about it often? Is your life organized around your purpose and a set of goals that support that purpose?

Without purpose and goals --- definitely directed thought --- you are like the proverbial "shop without a rudder(舵)." There is power in your purpose and in your goals. It is the power that takes you over obstacles, the fuel that pushes you toward the life you expect.

【写作内容】

1. 用约30个单词写出上文概要;

2. 用约120词发表你的观点,内容包括:

(1) 你如何规划中学以后的人生?为什么?

(2) 为了实现你的目标,你将如何行动?

【写作要求】

1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文句子;

2. 作文中不能狐仙真是姓名和学校名称;

3. 不必写标题

【评分标准】

内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当。
