Just like a movie, a dream has a story to tell and it has something to do with your life. So, take a closer look at your dreams. And they can open doors into your world.
Martha, 35 years old, said that last night she had an unusual dream. She dreamt that she was flying. When she moved her arms up and down, she moved higher into the sky. She felt as free as a bird. Flying is a good symbol in a dream. Flying in dreams may mean success, confidence(自信), and "being on top of it all".
Jason, a 14-year-old boy, said that he had a bad dream that kept coming back. He walked out of his bedroom, and a monster(怪物) came out and ran after him. Monsters in dreams often show fears(恐惧). For Jason, the monsters may stand for the adults who control his life. Or it may mean Jason's fears about growing up and he is very sad.
Here are some other common symbols in dreams. Mountains are difficulties, so dreams about successfully climbing a mountain can show a true feeling of achievement(成就). Water is peaceful in life. But a big wave in dreams probably means an emotional (情绪的) worry. Food is a symbol of knowledge, because it nourishes(滋养) the body just as information nourishes the brain.
Dreaming is a way to make memories of your emotions. You may dream the same things again and again. They are like a bridge which connects your experiences with your emotions and memories. They will help you get a better understanding of yourself.
(1)、____ might happen to Jason before he slept according to his dream.A、Being asked to take after-school classes B、Reading a book about making Russian soup C、Feeling very confident about his schoolwork D、Playing a computer game with his friends(2)、According to the passage, Picture ____ may be a symbol of knowledge.A、

Many of us have probably wondered, "Is there any ways to improve memory?"So, why don't we look at what memory experts say about this?
Every student knows that it's helpful to review what they've studied before. According to experts, we can learn things better if we wait some time before trying to study them again. They say that trying to recall something will make it easier to remember in future.
Similarly, studies have shown that taking some time just to do nothing after studying might mean that you can remember things better afterwards(之后). It is not clear why this happens. But some think it has something to do with the relationship between long-term and short-term memory.
Another study tip is to change between different topics as you study. This can help you make connections between different ideas. Now, connecting them to each other or to images is often considered to be a good way to remember something. The world memory champion Jonathan Hancock says picturing pieces of information in different physical locations(位置) or connecting them to memorable images makes them easier to remember.
There are also more things that we can do to improve our memory. Hancock says that being generally organized makes things easier for your brain. Many other experts also suggest that we should get a lot of rest and exercise. So, the good news to take from this is that while it may be hard, improving our memory is something we can do.
(1)、The writer introduces the topic of the passage by ____ .A、listing numbers B、explaining a sentence C、telling a story D、asking questions(2)、What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A、ideas B、tips C、places D、connections(3)、What would Hancock advise?① Doing nothing after studying.
② Having enough rest.
③ Connecting new things with memorable images.
④ Being generally organized.
A、①② B、②③ C、③④ D、①④三、阅读还原(10分)
