We all have four to six dreams per night. But why do some people seem to r emember their dreams while others don’t?

People who report that they have good dream recollection are more likely, than others who don’t, to have been woken up during a stage of sleep referred to as REM  (rapid eye movement). This is the stage of sleep where dreams occur, and if you’re woken up during it you may recall the dream you were having more readily.

Light sleepers who are woken up very easily by the slightest sound tend  to report having many more dreams they can remember than heavy sleepers who can nod off during thunder and lightening and do not know they’ve been dreaming at all. Therefore one way to remember your dreams is to set an alarm to go off frequently during the night, as you’ll have more chances of waking during REM sleep. However，doing this exercise regularly will be bad for your sleeping   pattern, and may mess with your body clock.

Interestingly, some people have the ability to dream to order, to a degree. If they focus on thinking about  remembering their dreams, get a dream journal ready to write   in and place it by their bed at night and tell themselves they  will write down their dreams upon waking, they’re more likely  to actually produce a memorable dream.

Studies have shown us that during dreams we often play  out different scenarios (情节) and our brains work out how to   deal with them, should they actually occur in waking life.  Thus, if you dreamed you lost your car keys and needed to find   another way of getting to your destination, this could just be  your mind working out what you would do in the future if this  happened to you. The reason why people don’t always remember dreams is that it would interfere (干扰) with waking life. An overload of information which may not be necessary could confuse your daily thinking, and lead you to perform less well. However, storing information away in your mental filing system located in your subconscious (潜意识), in case you ever need it, is far more efficient.

【文章大意】　人每晚都会做四到六个梦，但为什么我们经常会忘记这些梦的内容呢?本文分析了其原因。

36. What can we learn about REM?

A.Sleepers are hard to wake up during REM sleep.

B.People who can’t remember their dreams don’t have REM sleep.

C.Both light sleepers and heavy sleepers can experience REM sleep.

D.People who are woken up during REM sleep will forget their dreams.

解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第二、三段内容可知，当人们在REM(快速眼动)睡眠阶段被叫醒时会记住梦的内容，因而觉轻的人比觉重的人更容易回忆起梦境。由此可推断出二者都会经历REM阶段。

37. Which group of people are most likely to forget  their dreams?

A. People who are ready to write a dream journal.

B.People who desire to find a solution in their dreams.

C.People who set an alarm to go off frequently during the night.

D.People who are hard to be disturbed by surrounding sounds during sleep.

解析：选D。推理判断题。根据第三段“Therefore one way to remember your dreams is to set an alarm to go off frequently during the night，as you’ll have more chances of waking during REM sleep.”可排除C项;根据第四段“If they focus on thinking about remembering their dreams...they’re more likely to actually produce a memorable dream. ”可知，当人们有意识地想要记住梦境时，通常能如愿，可排除A、B两项;而睡觉时不易被周围声音打扰的人，很少有可能在REM阶段醒来，因而更易忘记梦境。

38. It is bad for people to remember all of their dreams because________.

A. that will confuse their daily thinking

B.that will make people feel exhausted

C.they will judge everything by sense

D.they will be guided by their dreams

解析：选A。细节理解题。根据最后一段“The reason why people don’t always remember dreams is that it would interfere with waking life.An overload of information which may not  be necessary could confuse your daily thinking...”可知，人要是能记住所有的梦境，储存太多不必要的信息，就会干扰其醒着时的生活和思维，因而是有害的。

39. From the last sentence, we can infer that________.

A. effective ways need to be developed to fully make use of our dreams

B.people who regularly forget their dreams will never know their mind well

C.scientists will give us much deeper explanations for what our dreams mean

D.those forgotten dreams are stored in our bra in and will be remembered if needed

解析：选D。推理判断题。上文讲到人脑储存太多信息是有害的，  因此人们选择性地遗忘一些梦境。根据“However”一词可推测出下文要表达的是，这些被遗忘的梦境不是真的消失了。这些梦境被转存到人的潜意识当中，当人们需要时还是会浮现出来并发挥作用。因此，被遗忘的梦境仍储存在人的大脑中，当需要时会被记起。

40. The passage mainly discusses________.

A. how important dreams are to health

B.the reason why people forget their dreams

C.the relationship between one’s dream and sleep

D.different stages of sleep and people’s changes in each one

解析：选B。主旨大意题。根据文章首段可知，本文主要向读者解释了人们为什么会忘记梦的内容。

D

Exams affect the whole family. As teenagers bury themselves in textbooks, parents have to behave like saints(圣人), ignoring doubts—is he actually studying up there, or just playing online games? Forget any practical help around the house.  “He’s sitting at the kitchen table reading the TV guide，” says the mother of a 15?year?old boy. “But when I ask if he can take the rubbish out, he looks very angry and says, ‘But I’m revising’.” Chloe, 16, comes from a large family and finds it is hard to revise. “I become angry easily，” Chloe says.“I camplain to my mum that there’s too much noise and too much mess.”

Beyond these practical  considerations, parents are confused about how much they should get involved. Some call for expert help. Others buy lots of practice exam papers. But you may use your skills to spur your children. Anne, 18, admits that the greatest driving force for revision is being in competition with her twin sister. My mother always says my sister is better than me.

Bribery(行贿)is not unknown.“Some parents offer their children material or cash rewards，” says Mike Evans, the author of How To Pass Your Exams.  “This may achieve the required result in some cases, but I think it does nothing for the longer?term aim, which I believe is to encourage them to take responsibility for their own personal development.”

“I deal with exam stress all the time，” says an experienced teacher.  “Basically, the pupils and I have an  agreement to convince the parents that all is going well. Then  the parents back off and everything gets better.” Her fantasy  solution would keep parents away for six weeks so that they don’t pass on pre?exam stress to their child ren.

【文章大意】　本文介绍了在孩子们备考时家长应该注意的事项。

A. children shouldn’t make parents doubt them

B.children should help with some housework

C.parents should create a peaceful environment

解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第一段“Chloe,16，comes from a large family and finds it is hard to revise.‘I become angry easily，’Chloe says.‘I complain to my mum that there’s  too much noise and too much mess.’”可知，家中太吵孩子会无法复习，因此家长应该给备考的孩子提供一个安静的环境。

42. What does the underlined word “ spur”  in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Encourage.               B.Punish.

C.Comfort.                 D.Educate.

解析：选A。词义猜测题。根据第二段“Anne,18，admits that the greatest driving force for revision is being in competition with her twin sister.My mother always says my sister is better than me.”可知，安妮最大的复习动力是与她姐姐竞争，因为她妈妈总说她不如她姐姐。由此可推知父母可以用技巧去激励孩子。

43. What is Mike Evans’s attitude towards parents’ bribing children for better grades?

A.Supportive.               B.Opposed.

C.Objective.                D.Unknown.

解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第三段“...but I think it does nothing for the longer?term aim，which I believe is to encourage them to take responsibility for their own personal development.”可知，Mike Evans 认为家长为了提高孩子们的成绩而采取贿赂的做法从长期来看是行不通的。由此可推知他对这种做法持反对的态度。

44. The experienced teacher sent parents away because she________.

A.would like to give parents a great surprise

B.believed children could deal with pressure

C.everything went well in the school

D.didn’t want parents to bring stress to children

解析：选D。细节理解题。根据最后一段“Her fantasy solution would keep parents away for six weeks so that they don’t pass on per?exam stress to their children.”可知，这位有经验的教师之所以让家长在孩子们备考时离开，是因为她不想让家长给孩子们带来压力。
