If your recurring(經(jīng)常性的)dreams are worrying you,you can rest assured and needn’t worry.Psychologists say in the vast majority of these cases,this is just the mind’s way of dealing with stress and conflicts,problems and concerns.It’s a good thing.
They call be surprisingly vivid and real,or fragmented and weird.They can be comforting or frightening.Our dreams can tell us a lot about what we are really thinking.Dreams give us an x-ray of our unconsciousness(潛意識(shí)).They tell us,particularly when we are at life’s passages or turning points.
Lisa Oppenheim had the same dream whenever she was about to move to a new home or a new city.It’s always just a feeling of needing to stay safe.Experts say disturbing dreams often occur around major life events.For Lisa,it was moving.For others,it can be marriage or divorce,the death of a loved one or pressure at work.
Doctor Siegel has studied the meaning of dream for nearly 30 years.He believes stressful or upsetting dreams can be a sign of what’s buried deep inside our minds.
He said.“Dreams are important to survival.They are crucial to the balance of our psyche(心靈).They help us work out problems that we’re having every single day.They go to the cutting edge of what’s stressful,what’s bothering us and what we’re working out in our lives.Dreams can guide us and in order to find that guidance,to find that deep source of wisdom that’s in our dreams every night,we need to pay attention to our dreams.”
But many dreams are scary and horrible.How can we understand these nightmares? Doctor Siegel says they are reflecting especially intense emotion or unresolved conflict.The stronger the emotion in the dream,whether it’s pleasure or fear,the likelier the dream is to be important.
Knowing what your recurring dreams or nightmares mean can be liberating.Some nightmares can be a sign of serious psychological problems,such as post-dramatic stress disorder.If they are extremely disturbing or violent or the cause of severe anxiety,you should see a professional therapist(治療專家).

Join a club with people of common interests. If you have something in common with people, you will find it much easier to talk to them and plan activities.

If you’re in school or at work, you will have many schoolmates or workmate. You can get close to them and talk to them in your spare time, or simply do the same thing together.

You can join a team, especially if you’re in school. Joining a sports team can be a great way to make friends. As long as you enjoy the sport, try your best, and your teammates will be happy to accept you.

5.Tip5: In general, the Internet isn’t a great place to make real friends, or the kind of friends who will be there for you when you really need them.

The most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”

“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”

“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”

I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?”

“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”

“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”

“That’s good, sir.”

“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.

“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won’t answer us.”

After the girl told me they had no backup(備用) computer, I said. “Let’s forget the computer. What about your planes? They’re still flying, aren’t they?”

“I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.”

“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington, ” I suggested.

“I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”

“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”

“I wouldn’t know, ” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only ‘IT’ knows. ‘It’ can’t tell me.”

By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.

1.The best title for the article is _______.

A. When the Computer Is Down         B. The Most Frightening Words

C. The Computer of the Airport           D. Asking the Computer

2.What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer?

A. She could sell a ticket.                    B. She could write out a ticket.

C. She could answer the passengers’ questions.   D. She could do nothing.

3.Why do you think they had not a backup computer?

A. Because it was easy down              B. Because it was very expensive.

C. Because it was not advanced enough.     D. Because it was not as big as the main computer.

4.The last paragraph suggests that _______.

A. a modern computer won’t be down.   

B. computers can take the place of humans

C. sometimes a computer may bring suffering to people  

D. there will be great changes in computers

    A. Located in the village of Misenheimer, North Carolina, Pfeiffer University

is a small private school with about 1,000 undergraduates. The small-town atmosphere fits with those who come from smaller high schools or feel more secure in a close-knit environment as opposed to a large state school with 20,000 undergraduates.

For athletes, Pfeiffer has sports teams for baseball, lacrosse, men’s and women’s basketball, and soccer, as well as many others, including intramurals.

B. Set in a city, Rutgers has an enrollment of 3,700 undergraduates. With over 40 majors, the college is known for engineering and business accounting. Rutgers is a commuter campus with half of first –year students living in college housing and

fewer than 20 percent of undergraduates living on campus. The college is located a mile from Philadelphia.

USNA has career options such as political science and helps students become commissioned officers in the Navy or Marine Corps.

    The United States Naval Academy offers 21 majors, and the dropout rate is less than five percent. This school is difficult, but anyone can pass if they’re willing to work hard. It takes four years to earn a bachelor’s and more for a master’s degree, depending on what you want to study. In addition, cadets are trained to have discipline. During the summer, they can join overseas units for training.

Even with so many students, U of D still provides the highest quality undergraduate education available.

IV 閱讀理解(共 20小題;每小題 2分,滿分 40分)

閱讀下列短文,然后從各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C 和 D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

We all know, especially for me who like travelling very much, travelling can be a way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break----a week long school vacation in the United States. But what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t worry. Here are some useful suggestions.

Save: this probably is the most important preparation for travelling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you’ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.

Plant ahead: Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全) and saving.

Do your homework : No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.

Plan sensibly, Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.

Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.

Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.

Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting act ivies and sights.

Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes: Remember to take medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.

Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www.Travelocity.com. www.bargains-lowestfare.cm and www.Ecoomictravel.co

By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.

56.This passage is about______.

A. how to plan your travel              B. how to travel with enough money

C. how to make your travel interesting    D. how to get life experience

57. Before your trip , the first thing you should do is ____.

A. to make a plan for the route      B. to get information in the Internet

C. to save money by spending less   D. to buy tickets in advance
