    　　Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep．He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem：It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle．

    　　Though he was tired, Howe slept badly．He turned and turned．Then he had a dream．He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine．When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before．The thread kept getting caught around the needle．The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe．They came up towards him with their spears raised．But suddenly the inventor noticed something．There was a hole in the tip of each spear．The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem．Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle．This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine．

    　　Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way．

    　　Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams．So did the great physicist Albert Einstein．Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre．

    　　To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep．Even then, a part of your mind is still working．This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day．It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed．It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake．However, the unconscious part acts in a special way．It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first．This is why dreams are sometimes called“secret messages to ourselves”．

    　　Hong Kong comedian Sun Xing said he came to Shanghai to work for “his wife”. In fact, he came here to make new TV serials (连续剧).“People working with me are likely (可能的) to have a stomachache, for I am able to please them so much that they forget to eat.”Sun joked.

    　　Sun has played the role of Master Shen in the TV serials“Fairly Wife”, and many Shanghainese have since known and liked him. Instead of giving his own name, he had Master Shen printed on name-card together with a cartoon of himself: a smiling face with dark glasses and very short hair.

    　　Though he is a Hong Kong citizen, Sun is able to speak perfect putonghua. Born and brought up in Beijing, he moved to Hong Kong at ten. In 1986, he came out of 3,600 contestants (竞争者) in the competition for“Mr. TV” held by Hong Kong's Asian TV station. In recent years, Sun is living and trying to develop in Taiwan.

    　　According to Sun, his understanding of stages performance comes from ten-year-long experience in work and life, though he has had no regular training in acting.“Life is hard for me. I have worked as a porter, waiter, postman, salesman.”Sun recalled.“At the age of 14, I was employed as an office boy in my mother's factory.” Once he was hurt by sulfuric acid (硫酸), but he showed no sign of pain, because he did not want to worry his mother. Having tasted various hardships, Sun learned how to find happiness in life.

    　　Sun is not good-looking, but he is able to make all kinds of funny movements in front of the camera. That's why all directors agree that he is very special.

    　　After the return of Hong Kong to the motherland, Sun planned to develop his stage work more in the mainland. Not long ago, He got in touch with Qiong Yao, a well-known Taiwan writer, to make a TV program for the mainland. Besides, he has joined hands with famous actors and actress in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland to wait for more TV plays.

    1．Sun Xing is ________ now.

    [　　]

    A．an ordinary-looking player
    B．husband of Fairly Wife
    C．a successful director
    D．a well-known actor

    2．The underlines, Sun's joke, probably means that “to work with him ________”.

    [　　]

    A．is a great pleasure for you

    B．will never make you feel hungry

    C．may bring stomachaches to you

    D．can cause you to forget everything

    3．It can be learnt from the page that ________.

    [　　]
