in their sleep. 1.____ However, they have been valued as necessary to a person"s health and happiness.
Historically people thought dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth century
that people started to study dreams scientifically believing that they tell about a person"s character. 2.____
He believed that dreams allow a person to express fantasies or fears, which would be socially unacceptable
in real life.
The second theory to become popular was Carl Jung"s compensation theory. Jung, a former student of
Freud, said that the purpose of a dream is not to hide something, but rather to communicate it to the dreamer.
3.____Thus, people who think too highly of themselves may dream about falling; those who think too little
of themselves dream of being heroes.
Using more recent research, William Domhoff from the University of California found that dreaming is a
mental skill that needs time to develop in humans. 4.____ Until they reach age five, they cannot express very
well what their dreams are about. Once people become adults, there is little or no change in their dreams. The
dreams of men and women differ. For instance.
The characters that appear in the dreams of men are often other men, and often involve physical aggression.
The meaning of dreams continues to be difficult to understand. 5.____ If you dream that a loved one is
going to die, do not panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that your loved one is going to
die.
B. However, people should not take their dreams as reality.
C. They have been considered as meaningless nighttime journeys.
D. It gives scientists chances to better understand human mind.
E. Children do not dream as much as adults.
F. They think their mind is trying to tell them something.
G. First, there was Sigmund Freud"s theory.

complaining as well.
Scientists in the United States studied a group of 144 dental patients almost half of whom had red hair. They
found that the red-haired group were more sensitive to pain and as a result were twice as likely to avoid visiting
the dentist.
Previous research had shown that redheads were more resistant to the effects of local anaesthesia (局部麻
醉) than people with other hair colours.
The scientists say that this red-haired sensitivity to pain stems from the actions of a gene called MCIR. This
is responsible for the production of melanin which gives skin and hair its colour. In about five percent of white
people the gene is mutated (突变) leading to fair skin and red hair.
Researchers say there are some people with the gene in the brain and that this could affect pain sensitivity.
Professor Daniel Sessler from the Cleveland Clinic in the United States is one of the authors of the study. He
says the research is a considerable scientific breakthrough.
"Red hair is the first phenotype (表现某显性特征的生物个体或群体) of anaesthetic requirement in humans. And what I mean by phenotype is an external (外部的) characteristic."
"So suppose you are walking down the street and you see someone who"s a little older and a little younger-
that tells you nothing about their anaesthetic requirement. You see a man and a woman-that tells you nothing
about their anaesthetic requirement. But you see a redhead-aha! You know that person is going to require 20
percent more general anaesthesia."
From my own personal experience I would say that there is some merit to this idea. I have found that I have
had to ask dentists for extra anaesthetic in the middle of procedures.
Some dentists argue that a greater sensitivity to pain might actually benefit redheads and drive them to see
the dentist more quickly. In my own case I can prove that is definitely not true.
B. usually more sensitive to some painful things
C. just well-known for their good temper and strong pain sensitivity
D. good-looking with fair skin and red hair
B. The mutated gene leading to fair skin and red hair.
C. Some persons with this gene in the brain.
D. An external characteristic of a person.
B. someone"s gender and figure
C. someone"s teeth and the skills of the dentist
D. someone"s external characteristic
B. the results of this red-haired sensitivity to pain will be the same
C. the writer is a red-haired person
D. redheads have many benefits of being red-haired
and turned their attention to scientific experiments.
The High School Research Program offers high school students guidance with researchers in Texas A &
M"s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Jennifer Funkhouser, academic adviser for the Department
Ecology and Management, directs this four-week summer program designed to increase the understanding of
research and its career potential.
Several considerations go into selecting students, including grades, school involvement and interest in science
and agriculture. And many students come from poorer school districts. Funkhouser says, "This is their chance
to learn techniques and do experiments they would never have a chance to do in high school."
Warner Erin of Houston is interested in animal science and learned how to tell male from female mosquitoes.
His adviser, Craig Coates, studies the genes of mosquitoes that allow them to fight against malaria (疟疾) and
yellow fever. Coates thought this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.
The agricultural research at A & M differs from stereotypes. "It"s molecular (分子) science on the cutting
edge," Funkhouser says. The program broadened the students" knowledge. Victor Garcia of Rio Grande City
hopes to become a biology teacher and says he learned a lot about chemistry from the program.
At the end of the program, the students presented papers on their research. They"re also paid $ 600 for their
work-another way this program differs from others, which often charge a fee.
Fourteen students got paid to learn that science is fun, that agriculture is a lot more than milking and plowing
and that research can open many doors.
B. high school students from different places
C. college students majoring in agriculture
D. researchers at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
B. could often take part in the program
C. found the program useful to their future
D. showed much interest in their high school experiments
B. entered that college
C. paid for their research
D. found a way to make money
B. A Program for Animal Science Students
C. A Program for Medical Science Lovers
D. A Program for Future Science Lovers
girls" grades are unaffected. Boys do worse in English when there are girls in their class, researchers will say
today, contradicting the widely held belief that girls are always a good influence on boys in school.
Boys do best with "as few girls as possible" in English lessons at primary and secondary school, Steven
Proud, a research student at Bristol University, will tell the Royal Economic Society"s conference. But when it
comes to maths and science, both boys and girls at primary school achieve up to a tenth of a grade more when
there is a high proportion (比率) of girls in the class, Proud found.
Proud tracked boys" and girls" test results at the ages of 7, 11, 14 and 16 in 16,000 schools in England
between 2002 and 2004 for his PhD. Boys consistently perform up to a tenth of a grade worse when they study
English with high numbers of girls as opposed to few or no girls, Proud found. The more girls there are in an
English class, the worse boys perform. This is particularly the case in primary schools, he discovered.
Proud said boys may do worse in English when there is a high proportion of girls in their class because they
realize that the girls are better than them. It could also be that teachers use teaching styles more appropriate to
girls when there are more girls than boys in the class. Both genders perform better in maths and science at
primary school when there are more girls in the class because boys tend to disrupt the class more, he said.
Professor Alan Smithers, director of the Centre for Education and Employment Research at the University
of Buckingham, said girls started school with slightly better verbal skills, while boys started with a slightly
greater aptitude for maths.
B. boys can have good influence on girls in terms of English learning
C. boys and girls can make progress in English learning together
D. boys always fall behind girls in English learning
B. boys can do much better in science
C. both boys and girls do better in science
D. girls still do better than boys in science
B. provides further proof to Steven Proud"s study
C. agrees with Steven Proud exactly
D. gives a different explanation for girls" advantage at English
B. gift
C. chance
D. interest
amounts of snow they receive. When the snow starts to fall, people start tossing out the phrase "lake-
effect snow".
Primarily a late-autumn and early-winter phenomena, lake- effect snowstorms are instigated by the
movement of cold, arctic air over the relatively warm waters of the Great Lakes. Ideally, the temperature
difference between the lake water and the overrunning air should be at least 20 degrees in order for cloud
and subsequent snow to form.
As the cool air crosses the waters of the Great Lakes, the lowest levels of the atmosphere begin to
warm and pick up moisture. This newly warmed layer is lighter than the cold air above it, so it starts to
rise. As the modified air continues to climb higher into the atmosphere, it encounters much colder
temperatures.
This cooler air forces the moisture to condense into water droplets and ice crystals, forming cloud.
After this process repeats itself a number of times, the cloud becomes weighed down and is forced to
precipitate (凝结而下降) in the form of snow.
Out of all the meteorological factors (气象因素) that determine snowfall intensity, the most important
might be the direction of the wind. If the wind direction is running perpendicular (垂直的) across the lake,
there won"t be ample time for cloud to develop.
However, if the wind runs parallel to the length of the lake, cloud should form without a hitch. The
longer the cold air travels over the lake, the more moisture it is able to accumulate, which in turn leads to
greater snowfall totals.
The highest annual lake-effect snowfall totals are found across the U. P. of Michigan, northwestern
Pennsylvania and the far southwestern and upstate sections of New York. In these locations, which are
all located along the southern or eastern shores of the Great Lakes, recording over 100 inches of snow in
a winter season is a common occurrence.
B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To show when the lake-effect snow appears.
D. To tell what the Great Lakes are famous for.
B. The direction of the wind.
C. The relatively warm waters of the lake.
D. The strength of the wind.
A. It"s far from the sea.
B. It"s far from the north.
C. It"s near the Great Lakes.
D. It has many mountains.
B. Where the lake-effect snow happens.
C. How the lake-effect snow forms.
D. How the phrase "lake-effect snow" comes.
If you know how to study wine, it can tell you about its history and qualities. Many wine experts can
even identify the kind of wine without ever seeing the label on the bottle. Studying a wine involves using
several senses, not just taste.
First, pour the wine into a glass and look at it. It might help to put a piece of white paper behind the
glass so you can see the color clearly. Color can tell a lot about the kind of grapes, where the wine is from
and its age. A white wine might be almost colorless. White wines to darker with age. White wines made
from grapes grown in a cool climate are often paler, with a higher amount of acid. White wines from grapes
grown in a warmer climate are often yellower, with less acid. The color of red wines can be purplish red
to brick red. Red wines often become paler with age. Red wines grown in warmer climates often have deeper
color than those grown in cooler climates.
Next, turn the glass so that the wine moves around inside. This brings air into the wine, so that it gives
off its smell. Smell the wine deeply. A wine"s smell is actually telling more than its taste. To use a wine term,
what can you learn about the wine from its "nose"? Is the wine fruity? Does it smell like oak (橡树)? Do you
smell grass or maybe honey? Maybe the smell is like butter or a mineral.
Now it is time to taste the wine. Move it around in your mouth. You may recognize some tastes because
you identified them while smelling the wine. You can also consider the wine"s sweetness and its acidity (酸性).
You may note the taste of tannin. Tannins are chemicals that are found in the skin and seeds of grapes. Tannins
taste bitter and seem to coat your mouth. To make a good wine requires a balance between sugar, acidity,
tannin and alcohol.
Professional wine tasters have many special words to describe wines. Some adjectives might be surprising.
For example, a wine that feels smooth might be described as "velvety" or "silky". A wine that does not have
enough acidity is "flabby" or "fat". A wine with a strong tannin taste could be "chewy".
B. blocking the strong sunlight
C. gathering the smell
D. spotting the grapes
B. The paler red wines are, the older they are.
C. The darker white wines are, the younger they are.
D. The older red wines are, the sweeter they are.
B. Smell→taste→sight.
C. Smell→sight→taste.
D. Sight→smell→taste.
B. How can we introduce a wine?
C. How can we taste a wine?
D. How can we make a wine?
