Do you remember your dreams? Do people have the same dream? Why do we dream? There are many
questions about dreams. We dream during the REM (rapid eye movement 眼球快速移动) stage of sleep. We
have about five periods of REM sleep during the night. The first REM cycle (周期) lasts about 10 minutes.
As the night goes on, the REM cycle gets longer. By early morning, the REM cycle can last up to 90 minutes.
Usually it is in this last REM cycle that we remember our dreams.
Dreams change as people age. People may have several dreams each night. Some are like films and usually
in color. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something
and trying to find the answer. Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can"t
remember the dreams clearly.
It is reported that too much dreaming is bad for our health. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The
mind is hard at work. That is why we may have a long sleep and feel tired when we wake up. |

are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.
The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually
want to be active. People think that what red symbolizes (代表) is exciting sociable (善交际的) people who
like to be with others like red. The cool colors are green, blue and purple. These colors unlike warm colors,
are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people there are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone
often prefer blue.
Red may be exciting but one scientist says that time seems to pass more slow in a room with warm colors
than in a room with cool colors. He suggested that a warm color such as red or orange, is a good color for a
living room or a restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating don"t want time to pass quickly.
Cool colors are better for offices or factories as the people who work there want time to pass quickly.
Scientist don"t know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool.
However, almost everyone agree that warm colors remind people of warm days and cool colors remind
them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is low during winter, the sunlight appears quite blue. Because
it is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow. | ( )1. When people talk about two groups of people, they mean those that like warm colors and like cool
colors.
( )2. The warm colors are red, purple and yellow.
( )3. The people who like warm colors are very easy to get on with others.
( )4. The persons who are relaxing don"t want time to pass slowly.
( )5. The best title of the passage is "Colors and People". | | 阅读短文，选择正确答案。 | Although cliff diving may bring great excitement, it"s a very dangerous sport that people should be careful
about. It is completely wrong to think that the diver is cushioned (缓冲) by the water below-this could not be
further from the truth. When jumping from a cliff that is over 70 feet high, a diver hits the water at over 46 mph
(miles per hour). Such high speeds make the point of contact feel like a wall, so the diving skills are very
important.
Professional divers are trained and well-prepared to make dives. However, non-professionals should never
dive because a diver"s body position (体位) at the time of contacting water is very important to his or her safety.
Because of the great danger, divers should always seriously think about their skills before trying any moves.
Although there is no truly safe way to jump off a cliff, non-professional divers are encouraged to pencil dive.
To do a pencil dive, the jumpers leap their feet first off the cliff, keep arms at their sides with legs together and
pointing downward. The diver should keep the body tight and vertical (垂直的). This is safer because it makes
the point of contact smaller when the diver enters the water and puts less stress (压力) on the body.
Wearing a wet suit while diving will result in less pain. So it is wise for new divers to wear wet suits. But
professional divers suggest staying away from water shoes. Although wearing shoes might seem like a good
idea, they actually increase the force of impact(冲击力) because they increase the surface area of the diver at
impact. The increased force of impact puts stress on a diver"s body and can lead to broken bones. Without a
doubt, diving without shoes is the safer way to go.
Besides the height, speed, water depth and body position, it is also important for divers to make wise
decisions when they are thinking about diving. Cliff diving tests both a person"s physical and mental(心理的)
skills, so it is never a good idea to jump with a sudden idea. A person needs to be of sound mind and in good
health to even think about a dive. One should never try a dive if he has drunk wine. What"s more, a person
should never make someone who is not feeling 100% confident dive. | | 1. What does "this could not be further from the truth" mean? | | [ ] | A. There"s no doubt that this idea is definitely true.
B. This idea is thought to be completely wrong.
C. It depends on the real situation on the spot.
D. Nobody knows whether this idea is true or not. | | 2. Why didn"t professional divers suggest wearing shoes? Because wearing shoes can . | | [ ] | A. put more weight on to the diver
B. cause the diver to feel uncomfortable
C. make the point of contact bigger
D. certainly lead to broken bones | | 3. According to the passage, a good cliff diver should be _______. | | [ ] | A. well-prepared and skillful
B. professional and strong
C. creative and smarty
D. confident and brave | | 完形填空。 | Man has invented four kinds of satellites. The first kind of satellites studies the 1 of the earth. They are
