阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。
No form of thinking is more interesting than dreams. "Brain Wave"machines have shown that dreams last only two to ten seconds. Yetthey may tell a story that seems to take hours, or even days. Some dreams can be explained by feelings of the moment. A dry throat might make us dream about the Sahara (撒哈拉) Desert. The sudden buzzing (翁翁响) of a flying thing might become an airplane. Dreams can tell much more about people. Important dreams show our wishes or worries.Sometimes they are difficult to understand. An expert on dreams may find a struggle to get up a hill means that we are afraid that we will not reach our aims(目标).He may say that our dream about flying without wings means that we are tired of struggling and want to get away from it. Dreams of this kind are a normal way to ease (解除) our worries.

Anyone who ever wondered why a dying plant, say, a freshly-cut red rose may appeal to a lady friend, might take some comfort in science, which once again offers us a reasonable answer to one of the world’ s great mysteries.
Beyond a common preference in people for blue, “the long history of color preference studies has been described as ‘confusing and contradictory(矛盾的)’,” write scientists Anya Hurlbert and Yazhu Ling of England’ s Newcastle University, authors of a new study in the journal Current Biology. “This fact is perhaps surprising,” they said, “though the popularity of the concept that little girls differ from boys in preferring pink.”
But the scientists believe they have an answer to this scientific mystery, discovering women’s preference for red, hidden above the average liking for blue.
In their study, the pair quickly flashed color cards, displaying many different aspects, at 208 volunteers, mostly Britishers but with a number of Han Chinese, who moved to the United Kingdom recently. Tested in three different experiments, the researchers found out a small but significant preference for reddish colors in the female volunteers.
Puzzled, the authors realized that most of the difference between men and women came in the form of a preference for green VS red in the color cards, regardless of the other slight differences such as the slightly blue ones that everyone liked. Why might this be?
Evolution might offer an answer, they reason. Human color perception(感知), the assessment of three separate color types — red — green — blue— in our vision (视觉) is a relatively recent addition to our line of mammals(脯乳动物)
Adding weight to their argument, they found the women who are most typically feminine(女性的) on a psychological survey also had the biggest preference for reddish colors. “My love is like a red, red rose,” wrote the Scottish poet Rober Burns in 1794.
【小题1】What does the first paragraph probably tell us ?
A.Scientific research can help people solve the mystery. |
B.When we are tired, we can turn to science for help. |
C.Science can make our study interesting and contradictory. |
D.We should turn to scientific invention for comfortable life. |
A.boy and girl | B.the two authors |
C.research and result | D.pink and blue |
A.boys like blue better than girls |
B.girls like pink better than boys |
C.men like red better than women |
D.men and women both like green |
A.By asking questions | B.By telephoning the interviewees |
C.By adding numbers | D.By doing experiments |
A.To sell products packed in red | B.To introduce the history of color |
C.To inform us of a research finding | D.To analyze men’s taste for color |
