A
The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments outside the jeweler's shop before he got enough courage to enter．He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush blood to his face as he explained he would bring in his future wife to choose a birthday present．The assistant listened carefully and told him he'd better buy a necklace. He wasn't used to buying jewelry and was a little worried about overspending. After some discussion as to reasonable price and type（類型）, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o'clock. When, half an hour later, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose and then gave them the one she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away, satisfied. James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted when he got married.

Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us from earlier school days have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.
“ On the contrary,” says L.Giambra, an expert in psychology（心理學）, “ daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day… .
You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious（有意識的） mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one way that the unconscious states of minds have silent dialogues.”
Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illness. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, “we know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures… Daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life.”
Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams which may be hard to understand. It’s easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and find out a possible way of handling them.
Daydreams cannot be predicted; they move off in unexpected 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 the next time you catch yourself daydreaming, don’t stop. Just pay attention to your dream. It may be more important than you think.
小題1:In what way are daydreams different from sleep dreams?
A．Daydreams help to develop an unconscious mind.
B．Daydreams are not so easy for us to control and direct.
C．Daydreams help us to handle more difficult situations
D．Daydreams are easier for us to understand.
小題2:Professor Eric Klinger believes that _______.
A．our fears and longings in life are shown in our daydreams
B．we may study our experiences just through our daydreams
C．daydreaming is one of the important ways that we recognize our lives
D．we should be able to tell our futures by having daydreams
小題3:The writer of the article thinks that ______.
A．daydreaming is more helpful than sleep dreams
B．many artists and scientists are famous because they have daydreams
C．professor Eric Klinger has a better idea than L. Giambra
D．daydreaming with an unconscious mind will do good to health
小題4:Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A．Daydreaming was once regarded as a cause of mental illness.
B．Experts began to have a better understanding of daydreams in the late 1980s.
C．Scientists believe that we can know daydreams before having them.
D． Many well-known artists gained energy of creation from daydream

Two graduates from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom found themselves about to graduate, yet with loans to pay off. The pair decided to begin a strange, year-long project to battle their debt.
The men, Ross Harper and Ed Moyse, set up the site BuyMyFace.co.uk. last October as a way to get rid of the $80,000 they shared as student loans. The idea behind the project was to earn money by selling their faces as advertising space every day for a year. Each day, they advertise a different business on their site by painting the brand's logo or name on their faces and including a link to the company’s site. After they paint their faces and publish them on the site, Harper and Moyse go out to highly populated areas such as music festivals and theme parks to maximize their faces’ exposure.
At this time, Harper and Moyse have advertised their faces for over four months without skipping a day and they're more than halfway to their goal. Though they first started charging a minimum of about USD $1.60 per company, the prices have risen as their popularity increased. For advertising space during the remainder of April, they range between USD $250 and $750. 
Terri L. Rittenburg, associate professor of marketing at the University of Wyoming, said she had heard of people tattooing (紋身) logos on themselves before, but this idea is much better. According to her, at first the idea would be new and novel and attract attention, but she is unsure how long it would last.
At least for now, companies that have bought Harper and Moyse’s faces have written positive comments on the pair’s website. “We had a three percent increase in website traffic on the very day and for two days more afterwards,” said an alcoholic beverage company.
小題1:Which of the following was most possibly taken from the website BuyMyFace.co.uk.?
A．B．C．D．
小題2: Harper and Moyse go to highly populated areas to _____.
A．have funB．make friendsC．show their facesD．find new customers
小題3:We can infer from the article that the two men _____.
A．must have earned more than $40,000
B．a(chǎn)ren’t getting on well with their project
C．may close their site next month
D．a(chǎn)lways work hard except on holidays

Suppose you want to bring home a new cat and are looking for a way to really make it feel at home. Actually, all you need to do is buy some nice cat furniture and have it in place by the time you bring it into your home.
The first thing that you should prepare is a cat house. Two to three feet off the ground is the best height. If you don’t have enough room for a cat house, a cat bed is also a nice choice.
Once you have a nice spot where your cat can go to feel safe, then it’s time to get cat furniture that offers your pet a nice place to play. One nice choice is cat trees. Scratching posts (貓抓板) are another great idea if you are short in space, but still want to give your cat a nice place where it can claw (抓) at instead of your own furniture.
If you’re looking for a great way to shop for cat furniture, simply turn on your computer and do some online shopping. In no time will you be able to skim all the offerings from many online stores. What’s great is that you can easily compare products and their prices, so you can get what you want at the best possible price. And, probably the nicest thing about online shopping is that your purchases may be shipped right to you, so you don’t have to waste time making a trip to the store.
So, if you have brought a new cat into your home, make sure that home is an inviting one by buying some new cat furniture. Without it, your cat might feel lost and unsafe, which you definitely do not want to happen.
小題1:What should you do first before you bring a cat home?
A．Find a proper place for the cat to sleep.
B．Buy a cat house and some cat furniture.
C．Learn how to take care of the cat.
D．Know how to buy cat furniture online.
小題2: According to the author, the first concern for a cat house is __________.
A．its heightB．its sizeC．its priceD．safety
小題3:What is the best choice for your cat to play with if you have little room?
A．The cat bed.B．Scratching posts.
C．Your own furniture. D．Cat trees.
小題4:What is the author’s advice on shopping for cat furniture?
A．Compare products and their prices and get the cheapest ones.
B．Try to save time and money when you buy cat furniture.
C．Do some online shopping and get products with reasonable prices.
D．Buy furniture that can be shipped to you as quickly as possible.
