Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your 1 was a million miles away? You probably felt 2 and made up your mind to pay attention and never daydream again. Most of us, from earliest school 3 , have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.
“On the contrary,”says L. Giambra, an expert in psyschology,“daydreaming is quite 4 Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the 5 it has to do during a normal day. You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious mind. 6 , your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one 7 in which the unconscious and conscious 8 of mind have silent dialogue.”
Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of 9 , or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental 10 . They did not have a better understanding of daydreams 11 the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming Klinger says,“We 12 now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we, 13 our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our future. Daydreams are really a reflection (反映) on the things we 14 or the things we long for in life.”
Daydreams are usually very simple and 15 , quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be 16 to understand. it’s easier to gain a 17 understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help one 18 the difficult situations in life and find out a possible way for dealing with them.
Daydreams cannot be predicted (預見). They move off in 19 directions, which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were, and are, a main source of creative energy.
So next time you catch 20 daydreaming, don’t stop . Just pay attention to your dreams. They may be more important than you think.

A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below l6℃. Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.
In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources（資源）：land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example，a lot of carbon dioxide in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.
There are two main reasons for this. Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now，but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply.
Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25％ of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However，fewer than l％of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests.
【小題1】Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they .
| A．reflect more heat into the atmosphere |
| B．bring about high rainfall throughout the world |
| C．rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than l6℃ |
| D．reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth |
| A．We will lose much more than we can gain. |
| B．Humans have begun destroying rainforests. |
| C．People have a strong desire for resources. |
| D．Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests. |
| A．we can get enough resources without rainforests |
| B．there is great medicine potential in rainforests |
| C．we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land |
| D．the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns |
| A．Losing the rainforests has caused natural disasters all over the world. |
| B．Cutting rainforests will help increase the world’s wood supply in the future. |
| C．Rainforests can’t provide medical cures for diseases at all |

In Washington D.C., 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a very special address. It is the address of the White House, the home of the president of the United States.
Originally the White House was gray and was called the presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. At this time, the city of Washington itself was being built. It was to be the nation’s new capital city. George Washington, the first president, and Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L'Enfant then planned the city. The president's home was an important part of the plan.
A contest was held to pick a design for the president's home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone.
President Washington never lived in the Presidential Palace. The first president to live there was John Adams, the second president of the United States, and his wife Mrs.Adams did not really like her new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm.
In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. They burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace.
After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the president’s home. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.
The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1.5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.
【小題1】The White House was built in Washington_____.
| A．because a French engineer was invited to design it |
| B．because President George Washington liked to live in it |
| C．because the British invaders lived in it in1812-1814 |
| D．because it was to be the nation’s capital city |
| A．built by the American army | B．built by the British troops |
| C．planed by George Washington | D．planned by the French |
| A．because John Adams’ wife did not like it |
| B．because it was cold in winter even with 50 fireplace |
| C．because it had been burned down during the war |
| D．because George Washington was not willing to live in it |

???

were swimming in the sea at Brighton Afterwards he overwhelmed(淹沒)me with the wildest expressions of affection and exclaimed passionately, that he would hold his life at my disposal from then on, and declared that he should never be happy again until he had had the opportunity of proving his gratitude．Little did I think that the occasion to serve me was soon to come．
? Pesca dragged me in by both hands into the parlor, where my mother sat by the open window, laughing and fanning herself．Pesca was one of her especial favorites，and his wildest strange acts were always pardonable in her eyes．
? “Now, my good dears．”began Pesca．“l(fā)isten to me The time has come I recite my good news．I speak at last…'Hear, hear!”said my mother, humoring the joke“I go back into my life，and I address myself to the noblest of men，who found me dead at the bottom of the sea，and who pulled me up to the top. What did I say when l got into my own life and my own clothes again? I said that my life belonged to my dear friend，Walter, for the rest of my days Now,”cried the enthusiastic little mall at the top of his voice．“happiness bursts out of me at every pore of my skin．For I have found a job for you”

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
China is facing power shortage, so your computer and television may be on holiday.
This year power shortages cover 20 provinces across the country. The shortage can usually be blamed on air conditioners. Wuhan, in Hubei province, as much as 100,000kw of electricity would be saved if people set their air conditioners one degree higher than normal.
You may have many household electrical appliances(家用電器)in your home. The following tips can help you save electricity.
l Use air conditioners less. Set the temperature a little bit higher than normal and turn it off one hour before you go out.
l Turn off the lights when you leave a room.
l Unplug electricity devices when not in use. Many televisions and computers use electricity even when they are turned off.
l In rooms where you don’t often stay for long, close curtains during the day to keep off the sun, especially on windows that face south or west. Open them in the evening to let cool air in so you may not need to use air conditioners.
l Take shorter showers. Water heaters use a lot of energy.
l Open your refrigerator door only when necessary. Each time you open the door, the compressor(壓縮機) will run for 8-10 minutes to keep the inside cold.
l Ask your parents to replace your regular lights with fluorescent(熒光的)lights. They use about a fourth of the energy of regular lights.
