【主旨大意】本篇短文介绍了一篇科普小短文，一般认为做梦可以预测未来，其实梦是个人对于自身经历和体验的重新再现，从这点科学家可以解释梦仅仅是大脑的对事物的部分映射，片面的可以理解为预测。
小题1: C 通读上下文，特别由上文的做梦可以预测未来、下文中也题到了our brain可知，也就正如我们的“大脑”在和我们说话，因此选择答案C.
小题1: D 为什么梦常常是奇怪的难以理解的？实际情况也是这样，而不是很少或从来没有。
小题1: A 结合上下文，做梦能预测未来只是一种标志或符号，并不是例子或图片。
小题1: A 做梦中的飞或什么的，只能具有特殊的意思，不会和实际相同或有什么伟大意义。
小题1: C 我们平常也说“解梦”，understand the dreams.
小题1: A 总结本段意思就是：做梦可以预测未来，也就是梦可以告诉我们对未来的恐怖与希望hopes.
小题1: B 通读全文，概括本段意思，科学家相信梦时候总要的，并非怀疑、担心或回答。
小题1: A 空后的and是并列连词，后面是大脑得到很多信息；前面是我们有很多的经历experiences.
小题1: C 这里解释了做梦就是大脑摒弃（throw away）了不重要的信息，保留了重要的。
小题1: D 我们的大脑是把重要信息储存在记忆力memories里面,才形成了梦。 |

Have successful people ever felt sad? Do they have any “secrets” to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obama’s “back to school” speech. Here is an excerpt(摘录) from his speech.
I know that sometimes, you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping (饶舌音乐) or basketball or being a TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things.
But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. Not all the homework will seem completely important to your life right this minute. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try.
That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots (投篮) during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures beat you—you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.
No one’s born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit(承认) when you don’t know something, and to learn something new.
And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged (泄气), and you feel like other people have given up on you—don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.
小题1:Why does Barack Obama mention (提到) JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the fourth paragraph?| A．To compare these two famous persons. | | B．To explain that writing and sports are difficult skills. | | C．To show that the two persons were treated unfairly. | | D．To prove that failure is the mother of success. |
小题2:Which of the following statements is NOT true?| A．No one can be successful without working hard. | | B．Failure can be good if you treat it in a right way. | | C．Those who believe in themselves shouldn’t ask others for help. | | D．One should try his best to make his dream come true. |
小题3:Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?| A．One should change his mind when others give honest advice to him. | | B．One should believe in himself no matter what difficulty he is faced with. | | C．One doesn’t have to work hard when he has failed several times. | | D．One doesn’t have to take others’ advice when they get away from him. |

One will feel happy when others flatter( 奉承) him in his face. It is said that the best way of flattering someone is to give him a “top hat” 31 .

“ 41 are always right, sir. I also hate such things. But, sir, 42 no one really gentleman like you can be seen in the world now.” said the student. It seemed that he had to do so.
43 hearing this, the teacher was pleased. “What you said is true!”
“I have 44 one top hat already. Now I have ninety-nine 45 .” the student said to his friend later on when he asked the student what he had talked with the teacher about.

It’s a goal for millions and millions of families every year to keep the Christmas spending within a certain amount of money, but you can still afford the gifts because your loved ones will enjoy them. This concern (忧虑) is becoming greater and greater theses days. Even so, there are several things that you can do to help.
Hit the sales. No one wants to get up at four o’clock in the morning and fight to get a good deal (交易) on Black Friday ( the first Friday at Christmas time). It’s surely very difficult to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a good deal. But sometimes it can be well worth. Many retailers (零售商) offer specials all through the day. Some even offer online Black Friday specials, so we may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday.
Read advertisements regularly. Once the Christmas shopping season is coming, retailers will be hungry for business. They will try their best to get us into the store. Please read the weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers from time to time. We may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops.
Shop online. Some of us don’t like running from store to store to get the best price on the perfect gift. Some of us don’t like to go out in the cold at all, and then, we can do online shopping.
The world of online shopping makes it possible for us to visit all the major retailers and some
specialty stores on the Internet. We can find exactly what we are looking for at the best possible price without even having to leave the house. With traditional Christmas shopping, it will always take us a long time to wait if we want to get the perfect gift.
小题1: The underlined word “specials” in Paragraph 2 means______. 小题2:We can have more choices to get a good deal ______. | A．on the Internet | B．in specialty stores | C．from salesmen | D．from retailers |
小题3:In this passage the writer wants to ______. | A．tell us to shop online | | B．tell us the best way to do shopping | | C．show us how hard it is to do Christmas shopping | | D．give us advice on how to get a good deal at Christmas time |
小题4: From the passage we can infer (推断) that ______. | A．people are surely able to get a good deal on Friday | | B．it is possible for people to buy the perfect Christmas gifts with less money | | C．retailers will be hungry because they are busy selling Christmas gifts | | D．with traditional Christmas shopping, people can’t buy the perfect gifts |
