A dream is made up of a series of mind?pictures that form during sleep.The people and actions in these pictures seem real to the person who is dreaming.?

Dreams may be influenced(影響) by different things that are present during sleep.If a person is cold,he may dream that he is out in a snowstorm.Worries or anger may also influence the content of a dream.?

Some people think that they seldom dream,other people are quite sure that they do not dream at all.Studies of human sleep have shown,though,that everyone dreams every night.If a person thinks he does not dream,it is because he does not remember dreaming when he wakes up.Usually,a person may dream three to seven times for a total of one to two hours of dreaming every night.?

Perhaps you are wondering just how research workers can be sure that a person is dreaming.The story behind the discovery is an interesting one.?

During their research studies of human sleep,Dr.Kleitman and his assistant noticed that a person sleeping made sudden eye movements.These movements occurred at least several times a night.When a sleeper was awakened during these periods of eye movement it was learned that he had been dreaming.In most cases,the dreamer could then recall(回憶) his dream.The person's eye movements,scientists believe,were caused by the movements of his eyes as he followed the events of the dream.?

Not only does everyone dream,but it seems that we all need to dream.One theory is that dreaming gives us a chance to escape from the rules of our real world.In dreams we can see our wishes come true.We can be rich,powerful,and successful.?

　　Another theory is that in our dream we are trying to work out problems that have troubled us during waking moments.?

　　Whatever the explanation is,we all do dream,and dreaming is necessary and important to us.?

科目：高中英語 來源：2011年河南省南陽市高一春期期末考試英語題 題型：閱讀理解

Do you have a dream, something you always see yourself doing? Perhaps you see yourself as a lawyer, businessman, or even a scientist. Whatever it is, don’t let it die.

A dream is a wonderful thing. It can give you hope for your future and encourage you to try when all odds are against you.

However, there are dream killers that want to kill your dream. They may tell you that it is impossible for you, that you are not smart enough or that it’s never been done before. However, many times the biggest dream killer is yourself.

Don’t let fear, doubt or lack of finances prevent you from fulfilling（實(shí)現(xiàn)） your dream. Talk back to these killers, “I can and fulfill my dream.” You may have to do this every day. The more often you talk to your heart that you can do it, the more safely your dream will be held within you.

It is very important to take steps towards fulfilling your dream. For me, in order to fulfill my dream of one-day owning my own magazine, I needed to go back to school and finish my college degree. For you, it may be something different. You know deep inside what the voice of your dream calls for. Don’t be afraid and just do it. Try not to let too much time go by. Time is another one of those dream killers.

Think about the words of a song by Yolanda Adams, “Keep the dream alive. Don’t let it die. If something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try, don’t stop. And never give up. Don’t ever give up on you. Sometimes, life can place a stumbling block in your way. But you have to keep the faith.”

When you dream, dream big and never give up. Your dream is just yours. Never let anyone tell you that your dream can’t happen -- it can! Keep seeing yourself do what’s never been done before. As you continue to feed your dream and protect it, not only will you keep it alive, but it will come true.

1.What does the underlined words “all odds are against you” in Parragraph 2 mean?

   A. You are in hopeless situation.

B. You find everything seems strange.

   C. You are not feeling quite well.

D. You have all your friends against you.

2.What did the author dream of doing?

   A. Getting his own book published    B. Owing a colledge degree

   C. Becoming a writer                 D. Publishing his own magazine

3. What do we learn from Paragraph 5?

   A. It takes money to fulfill our dream.

   B. The first step is to know our dream.

   C. It is important for us to take action.

   D. We should not listen to the call of our heart.

4. The words of Yolanda Adams’song are mentioned in the text      .

A.to support his main point

B.to make his writing interesting

C.to show they share the same view

D.to mean Yolanda Adams is popular
