Part : read the passage and cirle the answer below which is most accurate according to the informatin given in the passage
Let us begin by saying what does not cause our dreams our dreams not come from “ another world” They are not messages from some outside source They are not a look into the future , either
All our dreams have something to with our emotions , fears , longings , wishes , needs , and memories But something on the “outside” may affect what we dream If a person is hungry , or tired , or cold , his dream may include a feeling of this kind If the covers on your body , such as a quilt or a blanket , have slipped off your bed , you may dream that you are sleeping or resting on the ice and snow The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today
So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping ( feeling of cold , a noise , a discomfort , etc ) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now This is why very young children are likely to dream of fairies , homesich soldiers of their families , and prisoners of freedom
To show you how that is happening while you are asleep , how you wishes and needs can all be joined together in a dream , here is the story of an experiment A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbent cotton He would dream that he was in a hospital and his charmning girl friend was visiting him , sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hand
There are some scientists who have madfe a special study of why we dream , what we dream and what those dreams mean Their explanation of dreams though a bit reasonable , is not acceptable by everyone, but it offers an interesting approach to the problem They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true In other words , a dream is a way of having your wishes carried out
(5)B are a curious look into the future
C have little connection with our emotions wishes or needs D are to some degree caused by some of our feelings
2 If the covers have slipped off your bed , you may dream that ……… A something comfortable happens to you
B you are staying in freezing surroundings C some people are making noise
D you have nothing on at all
3 When the back of a man ‘s hand was rubbed with a pieces absorbent cotton in experiment , he would dream that ………
A his hand was being struck by someone
B his hand was gently touched by his aweetheart C his hand was badly hurt by something
D somebody was wiping sweat off his body
4 When a person feels hungry , he is likely to dream of ……… A wonderful fairies B lovely young girls
C.fine food and drinks D his family members
5 Some scientists’ explanation of dreams ……… A does not give an outlet for our wishes
B give us an exact answer to the problem C offer a meaningful approach to the problem
D is widely acceptable and thought highly of by the public
