    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.

    Bexley Middle School eighth-graders won the grand prize at the 2009 National Engineers Week Future City Competition (TM) on Feb. 18 in Washington, D.C. They competed with 37 other schools across the country.
    The students qualified for the national competition by winning a regional competition on Jan. 17 in Columbus. By winning the national event, the students earned an all-expenses paid trip to Space Camp in Huntsville, Ala., according to a Bexley school district news report.
    Future City aims to stir (激发) interest in science, technology, engineering and math among young people. Bexley team members were Tom Krajnak, Abby Sharp, Wyatt Peery, Elizabeth Maher, Aaron Hutchinson and Truman Haycock. They work in teams under the guidance of a teacher, Margaret Englehardt, and a volunteer engineer, Mark Sherman, design and build a city of tomorrow. Mayor John Brennan presented the students during a recent Bexley City Council meeting. Each team in the Future City competition plans its city using Sim City software and creates a model to show a physical representation of one section of the city. Team members must write both an essay about the yearly theme and an abstract about their city. They also must make a presentation to judges.
    Focusing on eco-responsibility, the Bexley team built “Novo-Mondum,” an Icelandic city in the year 2171. Krajnak said the team’s project included a new water system for each resident unit and a 500-word essay on using bacteria to purify water. “We used our essay and abstract (摘要) to build a model,” he said. “It was hard to organize which building would go where, what each building does and how to make it look good.”
    Englehardt said her students did a good job answering impromptu (即席) questions during the regional competition. “They can think on their feet,” she said. Principal Harley Williams said the school is very proud of the students’ performance.

    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

    A new study has been carried to test the role of story telling in lowering blood pressure. Dr. Thomas Houston, a professor of the University of Massachusetts Medical School, led a group of scientists that researched how pre-recorded videos of hypertension (高血压) patients' talking about their medical histories helped another group of patients with high blood pressure to control their condition over several months.
    Houston was surprised by their studies that suggested that communication can be a powerful tool in medicine. They showed that those who had had similar experiences, when talking to someone with a similar background, could help change their behavior to become healthier. Hypertension is difficult to control, since it is dependent on diet, exercise and mental state. Medical treatments with drugs, and lifestyle therapies(疗法) have been relatively ineffective because people find it hard to follow those medical requirements.
    In the test, his team carefully chose their story-tellers from 230 members of a patients' community with whom they could most easily relate. Next, they divided their study population into two groups. One received three interactive DVDs containing the tellers' stories of their experiences in living with and treating their hypertension. The other were given educational discs on an unrelated health topic. The study volunteers reported that they had listened to the DVDs, and after three months, those who heard the stories of the hypertensive patients lowered their blood pressure.
    While the study did not address how the story-telling influenced the patients' behavior, Houston doubts that watching patients of similar backgrounds who had a similar medical experience helped to motivate them to seek medical help to their hypertension. They found that after six months the difference in blood pressure between those who watched the story-tellers and those who observed the unrelated videos remained, suggesting that the story-telling continued to have an effect.
    小题1: We can learn from the text that the pre-recorded videos _________.
    A．tell medical histories of hypertension patients
    B．introduce some medical treatments of hypertension
    C．introduce a good lifestyle for hypertensive patients
    D．tell scientific discoveries of the scientist group
    小题2:Houston was surprised to find that _______.
    A．hypertension is really difficult to control
    B．communication has some medical effects
    C．medical treatments have no effect at all
    D．people don't follow the medical requirements
    小题3: The underlined word "address" in the last paragraph most probably means _______.
    A．persuadeB．observeC．attend D．announce
    小题4: Which of the following could be the best title of the text?
    A．The stories of some hypertension patients.
    B．Medical treatments of blood pressure.
    C．Storytelling may help lower blood pressure.
    D．Suggestions about how to lower blood pressure.

    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.

    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
