Question 3:Read the passage below and then state whether the following statements are
TRUE, FALSE or NOT GIVEN:
DAYDREAMING
Everyone daydreams sometimes We sit or lie down, close our eyes and use our
imagination, think about something that might happen in the future or could havehappened in
the past Most daydreaming is pleasant We would like the daydream to happen andwe would
be very happy, itdid actually happen.We might daydream that we are in another person's place,
or doing something that we have always wanted to do, or that other people like or admire us
much more than theynormally
Daydreams are not dreams, because we can only daydream if we are awake.Also,we
choose whatour daydreams will be about, which we cannot usually with dreams With many
daydreams,we know that what we imagine is unlikely to happen.At least, if it does happen,it
probably will not so in the way we want it to However, some daydreams are about things
that are likely to happen With these,our daydreams often help us to work out what we want to
do, or how to it to get the best results So, these daydreams are helpful We use our
imagination to help us understand theworld and other people
Daydreams can help people to be creative.People in creative or artistic careers, such as
composers,novelists and filmmakers,develop new ideas through daydreaming Thisis also true
of research scientists and mathematicians In fact,Albert Einstein said that imagination is more
important than knowledge becauseknowledge is limited whereas imagination is not
Researchinthe 1980sshowed that most daydreams are about ordinary, everyday events
It also showed that over 75% of workers in so-called "boring jobs", such as lorry drivers and
security guards, spend a lot of time daydreaming in order to make their time at work more
interesting.Recent research has alsoshown that daydreaming has a positive effecton the brain
Experiments with MRI brain scansshow that the parts of the brain linked with complex problem
- solving are more active during daydreaming Researchers conclude that daydreaming is an
activity in which the brain consolidates learning In this respect, daydreaming is the same as
dreaming during sleep
. . . .. .
(5)Although there seem to be many advantages with daydreaming, in many cultures it is considered a bad thing to One reason for this is that when you are daydreaming, you are not working In the 19th century, for example, people who daydreamed a lot were judged to be lazy This happened in particular when people started working in factories on assembly lines When you work on an assembly line, all you is one small task again and again, every time exactly the same Itis rather repetitive and,obviously, you cannot be creative So many people decided that there was no benefit in daydreaming
Other people have said that daydreaming leads to "escapism" and that this is not healthy, either.Escapist people spend a lot of time living in a dream world in which they are successful and popular, instead of trying to deal with the problems they face in the real world Such people often seem to be unhappy and are unable or unwilling to improve their daily lives Indeed, recent studies show that people who often daydream have fewer close friends than other people In fact,they often not have any close friends at all
