听力原文: Some people dream of being President of the United States. Some dream of becoming stars in a Hollywood movie, and others of making millions of dollars overnight. But, could a dream like that come true in real life? Well, it did happen to Peter Johnson. Peter was an auto mechanic. One day, he walked into the Union Trust Bank in Baltimore and took 5,000 dollars that did not belong to him. The guards and other employees stood back and let him stuff the bills in his shirt and pants without trying to prevent him from taking the money. No one tripped an alarm. No one pulled a gun. No one called the police. Why did they allow him to get away with it?

Well, everything was legal. Peter had won a contest promoted by a Baltimore radio station. The first prize entitled him to enter the Union Trust Bank and gather up as much money as he could lay his hands within five minutes. Because he could not bring any large bags or boxes into the bank, all the money had to be placed in his pockets.

As the time went by, Peter ran about wildly, trying to pick up as many large bills as he could find. When his time was up, he was out of breath, but was $5,000 richer.

Why did Peter go to the Union Trust bank?

A.To withdraw his deposit.

B.To cash a cheek.

C.To get his prize.

D.To rob the bank.

1.Our dream is the song of our soul. Life without one is reduced to a hollow existence. But life with a dream is filled with meaning and purpose.Most of us have a dream, or heart's desire. But the trouble is most of us have the on/off switch of our dream set to OFF. Whenever we say, I can’t, we set the switch to OFF. Whenever we believe we can, we set the switch to ON. Simple, isn't it? Just because I believe I can do something doesn't mean there won’t be any problems. But once I believe I can do it, I will seek solutions for every problem I stumble on. And since it is a law of life that we find what we look for, if I look for solutions, I will find them.Any worthy dream is a dream worthy of accomplishing. Once I realize I can do it, the next step is to make a commitment. As soon as we make a commitment, great power is released. What seemingly were insurmountable hurdles are now reduced to obstacles of laughable insignificance. But we won’t reach this stage until we decide to stop talking and start acting. Unless we commit ourselves, self-doubt will ferment and block our way.Our dreams don’t have to be grand to be great. An aunt of mine sold gloves in a department store for most of her life. Her dream was to be the friendliest and most helpful salesperson around. Year after year, the same customers would return and deliberately seek her out. She brightened everyone's day and touched the lives of thousands. Was her dream any less significant than that of aprominent person? Of course not. We all have the power to follow a dream that will make a difference to us and those we meet.No dream is too small; no dream is too big, so hold on to your dream. Langston Hughes tells why, Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.So,what are you waiting for? Follow your dream!(1)According to the author, dreams ___________.A、refer to dreams in our sleepB、refer to dreams in the daytimeC、gives meaning and purpose to our lifeD、enables life to be a hollow existence(2)What are the stages in following a dream?A、Setting the switch of our dream on, making a commitment, and releasing the power.B、Setting the switch of our dream on, committing ourselves, and following the dream.C、Believing we can do it, committing ourselves, and acting.D、Believing we can do it, acting and making a commitment.(3)What does the dream of the author's aunt illustrate?A、To illustrate we should commit ourselves and start acting.B、To illustrate our dreams don’t have to be grand to be great.C、To illustrate her dream was to be the friendliest and most helpful salesperson.D、To illustrate we all have the power to follow a dream.(4)Which of the following statements is NOT true?A、Whether the switch of your dream is ON or OFF is left entirely to yourself.B、If we believe we can do it, there won’t be any problems.C、We will find what we look for.D、The author's aunt's dream was not any less significant than that of a prominent person.(5)The passage mainly tells us that __________.A、a dream gives meaning and purpose to our life.B、if dreams die, life will become meaningless.C、we should follow our dream which will make a difference to us and other people.D、a worthy dream is a dream worthy of accomplishing.

4.A dream is one kind of experience.It seems as real as something that actually happens; in it the dreamer takes actions and reacts.During dreams the body is asleep but the thinking part of the brain is wide awake.In fact, it is more active than it sometimes is when the body is awake.One group of researchers decided to see what would happen if they stopped people from dreaming.As soon as the electroencephalograph (脑电图仪) registered a dream pattern, researchers woke the dreamer.They did this all night for several nights, every time the person started to dream.The experiment revealed that people who were unable to dream became nervous, easily upset, and hungrier.As soon as they were able to sleep without interruptions they lost their nervousness and became normal again; however, they then had more dreams than usual.It was as if they were catching up on their dreams.To check these findings, the researchers carried on a control experiment.Again they woke people during the night, but during non-dreaming periods.These people did not change their daytime behavior.And when they were allowed to sleep without interruptions (打断), the number of their dreams did not increase.Experiments like these have caused scientists to ask if dreams serve a purpose.Researchers know, for example, that some people who go for days without sleep will suffer from hallucinations (幻觉).Certain people even begin to show signs of mental illness.Some researchers believe that people become this way because they cannot have their usual numbers of dreams.According to this theory dreaming helps people to lead normal lives.1).This passage is mainly about ________.A.people’s need for dreamsB.the damage dreams do to people’s healthC.dreams and realitiesD.the relationship between dreams and diseases2).According to the passage, dreams ________ .A.are considered to be people’s real experiencesB.help cure people of nervousness and mental illnessC.happen in the thinking part of the brainD.cannot go on as before after the dreamer is woken3).People who slept with interrupted dreams showed signs of the following sufferings EXCEPT________ .A.nervousnessB.anxietyC.hungerD.sleepiness4).When people were woken during non-dreaming periods, they ________.A.suffered from hallucinationsB.felt upset and nervousC.had more dreams than usualD.remained normal in their daytime behavior5).The sentence “It was as if they were catching up on their dreams” in Para.3 probably means ________.A.they seemed to do as their dreams dad told them toB.they seemed to make up for the losses of dreamsC.they seemed to dream less because of the interruptionsD.they seemed to sleep more after the interruptions

    When We Are Asleep

    Everyone dreams,but some people never recall their dreams,or do so very rarely.
    Other people always wake up with vivid recollections(记忆)of their dreams, though they
    forget them very quickly.In an average night of eight hours' sleep,an average adult will
    dream for around one hundred minutes,probably having three to five dreams,each lasting
    from ten to thirty minutes.
    Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using an instrument which

    quickly.Breathing and pulse rate also increase,and there are rapid eye movements under

    monkeys, cats, and elephants, and also some birds and reptiles(爬行动物).This period
    of sleep is called the"D"state.Babies experience the"D"state for around 50%of their
    sleep;the period reduces to around 25%by the age of 10.
    Dreams take the form of stories,but they may be strange and with incidents not
    connected,which make little sense.Dreams are seldom without people in them and they
    are usually about people we know.One estimate says that two-thirds of the"cast"of our

    资料:Dream is a story that a person watches or even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to real experiences and needs in the dreamer's life. They seem real while they are takingplace. Some dreams are pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening. Everyone dreams, but some persons never recall dreaming. Others remember only a little about a dream they had just before awakening and nothing about earlier dreams. No one recalls all his dreams.
    Dreams involve little logical thought. In most dreams, the dreamer cannot control what happens to him. The story may be confusing, and things happen that would not happen in real life. People see in most dreams, but they may also hear, smell, touch, and taste in their dreams. Most dreams occur in color. But persons who have been blind since birth do not see at all in dreams.
    Dreams are a product of the sleeper's mind. They include events and feelings that he has experienced. Most dreams are related to events of the day before the dream and strong wishes of the dreamer. Many minor incidents of the hours before sleep appear in dreams. Deep wishes or fears-especially those held since childhood-often appear in dream. and many dreams fulfil such wishes. Events in the sleeper's surrounding-a loud noise, for example, may become part of a dream, but they do not cause dreams.
    Some dreams involve deep feeling that a person may realize he has. Psychiatrists often use material from a patient’s dreams to help the person understand himself better.
    Dreaming may help maintain good learning ability, memory, and emotional adjustment. People who get plenty of sleep-but are awakened each time they begin to dream-become anxious and restless.

    Which of the following is NOT true?

    A.Dream involves events that always happen in real life.
    B.Dream is an imaginary story which seems real while taking place.

    What Is a Dream?
      For centuries, people have wondered about the strange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others,however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact, many experts believe that dreams can tell us about a person’s mind and emotions.
      Before modern times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. (46)____
      The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud1,was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book, The interpretation of Dreams (1900), Freud wrote that dreams are an expression of a person’s wishes. He believed that dreams allow people to express the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid to express in real life.
      The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung2 was once a student of Freud’s. Jung,however,had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was to communicate a message to the dreamer. (47)___For example, people who dream about falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On the other hand, people who dream about being heroes may learn that they think too little of themselves.
      Modern-day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from the University of California, Santa Cruz,believes that dreams are tightly linked to a person’s daily life, thoughts, and behavior. (48)____.
      Domhoff believes that there is a connection between dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as much as adults. According to Domhoff, dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop.
      He has also found a link between dreams and gender. His studies show that the dreams of men and women are different. (49)___This is not true of women’s dreams.3 Domhoff found this gender difference in the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, including both modern and traditional ones.
      Can dreams help us understand ourselves? Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways. (50)____The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that some terrible event will actually take place. It’s important to remember that the world of dreams is not the real world.
    文章(41~45)

      A. It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.
      B. However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn’t panic.
      C. A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.
      D. He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams.
      E. Men and women are dreamed about different things.
      F. For example, the people in men’s dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting.

    Practice 7  Average household debt in the United States is currently 130 percent of average household income. The U. S. household savings rate is close to zero. Consumer confidence has plummeted with the value of 401(k) plans and retirement nest eggs. Car sales are at a fifteen-year low. And credit card defaults look like the next shoe to drop as cash-strapped Americans have run up credit card debt to postpone the day of reckoning.  Too many Americans have been expressing the Dream through the acquisition of stuff. Americans need a refresher course on the American dream. The Constitution speaks of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, not an automatic chicken in every pot. The American Dream embraced by immigrants over the past two centuries has been the opportunity to set one’s own goals and pursue them honestly to the limits of one’s ambition and ability. Too many Americans have been expressing the Dream through the acquisition of stuff. Others see the Dream as raising a family in a land that delivers Franklin Roosevelt’s four freedoms. Still others dream of their children accessing the highest possible level of education, living healthy lives, being good citizens in their communities.

    Dreams Dreams do not happen when you're asleep. They happen when you're awake. Whatever your goals are, always remember you can make it true. Whether it be love, money, a childhood dream, and ultimately happiness, the most important idea is that you must never lose sight of your dream. Create reminders. Think about your original motivation often. Besides obvious factors that will come along when your dream is realized, think about other reasons. Who are you doing this dream for? Remind yourself often of your plan. Physical symbols always help—posting up pictures of the end result, buying items that symbolize your goals. Express your dream frequently. Whisper your dream through moonlight. Shout it on a busy highway. Write it on a balloon and set it free. Write it on paper boats and float them in the ocean. Write it as a message on a bottle and float that into the ocean. Explore and try different ways of different cultures of making ishes come true, small or big: paper cranes, and shooting stars. Tell your pet if you have one. Tell it to all the people you care about in your life. Create deadlines and punishments. For every step along the way, think of a realistic deadline. If too small, eventually you will be crashed with all the work you need and possibly never do it. If too large, you will probably forget about it. Punishments are necessary. They can be keeping yourself away from your favorite activities. Get a friend or family member to enforce this punishment. Keep your life. Do not forget about friends, family, work, and especially yourself! Keep contact with friends and family: over the internet, visit them, write to them. Try not start skipping work to work on your dream. Keep your brain, body, and soul in good shape at all times. Sleep often, read often, and enjoy life. Brainstorm ideas for your dream. Mind mapping (essentially creative concept mapping) is the ideal way to brainstorm. Any creative outlet will do just fine to find some creative ideas for your dream, especially writing or drawing. Any sort of art, even singing, playing music, photography, wood-carving can work. Buy a journal or two. Find inspiration. We can tell our dreams to anyone we like to show off.()

    When We Are Asleep

    Everyone dreams,but some people never recall their dreams,or do so very rarely.
    Other people always wake up with vivid recollections(记忆)of their dreams, though they
    forget them very quickly.In an average night of eight hours' sleep,an average adult will
    dream for around one hundred minutes,probably having three to five dreams,each lasting
    from ten to thirty minutes.
    Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using an instrument which
    measures the electrical waves in the brain.During dreaming,these waves move more
    quickly.Breathing and pulse rate also increase,and there are rapid eye movements under
    the lids,just as though the dreamer were really looking at moving objects.These signs of
    dreaming have been detected in all mammals(哺乳动物)studied, including dogs,
    monkeys, cats, and elephants, and also some birds and reptiles(爬行动物).This period
    of sleep is called the"D"state.Babies experience the"D"state for around 50%of their
    sleep;the period reduces to around 25%by the age of 10.
    Dreams take the form of stories,but they may be strange and with incidents not
    connected,which make little sense.Dreams are seldom without people in them and they
    are usually about people we know.One estimate says that two-thirds of the"cast"of our
    dream dramas are friends and relations.Vision seems an essential part of dreams,except
    for people blind from birth.Sound and touch are senses also often aroused,but smell and
    taste are not frequently involved.In"normal"dreams,the dreamer may be taking part,or
    be only an observer. But he or she cannot control what happens in the dream.
    However,the dreamer does have control over one type of dream.This type of dream is
    called a "lucid"(清醒的)dream. Not everyone is a lucid dreamer. Some people are
    occasional lucid dreamers.Others can dream lucidly more or less all the time.In a lucid
    dream,the dreamer knows that he is dreaming.

    Most dreams involve the people we played with when we were young.

    资料:Dream is a story that a person watches or even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to real experiences and needs in the dreamer's life. They seem real while they are takingplace. Some dreams are pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening. Everyone dreams, but some persons never recall dreaming. Others remember only a little about a dream they had just before awakening and nothing about earlier dreams. No one recalls all his dreams.
    Dreams involve little logical thought. In most dreams, the dreamer cannot control what happens to him. The story may be confusing, and things happen that would not happen in real life. People see in most dreams, but they may also hear, smell, touch, and taste in their dreams. Most dreams occur in color. But persons who have been blind since birth do not see at all in dreams.
    Dreams are a product of the sleeper's mind. They include events and feelings that he has experienced. Most dreams are related to events of the day before the dream and strong wishes of the dreamer. Many minor incidents of the hours before sleep appear in dreams. Deep wishes or fears-especially those held since childhood-often appear in dream. and many dreams fulfil such wishes. Events in the sleeper's surrounding-a loud noise, for example, may become part of a dream, but they do not cause dreams.
    Some dreams involve deep feeling that a person may realize he has. Psychiatrists often use material from a patient’s dreams to help the person understand himself better.
    Dreaming may help maintain good learning ability, memory, and emotional adjustment. People who get plenty of sleep-but are awakened each time they begin to dream-become anxious and restless.

    This passage suggests that psychiatrists are______.

    A.help the person understand himself better

    What Is a Dream?【什么是梦】
    阅读判断改编为补全短文
      For centuries, people have wondered about the strange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others, however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact, many experts believe that dreams can tell us about a person's mind and emotions.
      Before modern times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God.(46)___
      The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud', was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book, The interpretation of Dreams (1900) ,Freud wrote that dreams are an expressions of a person's wishes. He believed that dreams allow people to express the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid to express in real life.
      The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung2 was once a student of Freud's. Jung, however, had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was to communicate a message to the dreamer. (47)___ For example, people who dream about falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On the other hand, people who dream about being heroes may learn that they think too little of themselves.
      Modern-day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from the University of California, Santa Cruz, believes that dreams are tightly linked to a person's daily life, thoughts, and behavior. (48)___
      Domhoff believes that there is a connection between dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as much as adults. According to Domhoff, dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop.
      He has also found a link between dreams and gender. His studies show that the dreams of men and women are different. (49)___This is not true of women's dreams.-3 Domhoff found this gender difference in the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, including both modern and traditional ones.
      Can dreams help us understand ourselves Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways. (50)___The dream' may have meaning, but it does not mean that some terrible event will actually take place. It's important to remember that the world of dreams is not the real world.
    文章(46~50)

    A. A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.
    B. He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams.
    C. However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn't panic.
    D. For example, the people in men's dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting.
    E. It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.
    F. Men and women dream about different things.

    Dreams Dreams do not happen when you're asleep. They happen when you're awake. Whatever your goals are, always remember you can make it true. Whether it be love, money, a childhood dream, and ultimately happiness, the most important idea is that you must never lose sight of your dream. Create reminders. Think about your original motivation often. Besides obvious factors that will come along when your dream is realized, think about other reasons. Who are you doing this dream for? Remind yourself often of your plan. Physical symbols always help—posting up pictures of the end result, buying items that symbolize your goals. Express your dream frequently. Whisper your dream through moonlight. Shout it on a busy highway. Write it on a balloon and set it free. Write it on paper boats and float them in the ocean. Write it as a message on a bottle and float that into the ocean. Explore and try different ways of different cultures of making ishes come true, small or big: paper cranes, and shooting stars. Tell your pet if you have one. Tell it to all the people you care about in your life. Create deadlines and punishments. For every step along the way, think of a realistic deadline. If too small, eventually you will be crashed with all the work you need and possibly never do it. If too large, you will probably forget about it. Punishments are necessary. They can be keeping yourself away from your favorite activities. Get a friend or family member to enforce this punishment. Keep your life. Do not forget about friends, family, work, and especially yourself! Keep contact with friends and family: over the internet, visit them, write to them. Try not start skipping work to work on your dream. Keep your brain, body, and soul in good shape at all times. Sleep often, read often, and enjoy life. Brainstorm ideas for your dream. Mind mapping (essentially creative concept mapping) is the ideal way to brainstorm. Any creative outlet will do just fine to find some creative ideas for your dream, especially writing or drawing. Any sort of art, even singing, playing music, photography, wood-carving can work. Buy a journal or two. Find inspiration. In order to make your dream come true, you have to forget about friends, family, work, and especially yourself.()
