　　Passage 1

　　Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and always have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.

　　“On the contrary,” says Linda Giambra, an expert in psychology, “daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day. You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious (有意識) mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues.”

　　Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, “We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures. Daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life.”

　　Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. It is easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and find out a possible way of dealing with them.

　　Daydreams cannot be predicated (預(yù)料). They move off in unexpected directions which may be creative( 創(chuàng)造性的 ) and full of ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.

　　A. hard to understand.

　　B. Daydreaming can give artists and scientists’ ideas for creation.

　　C. Professor Eric Klinger has a better idea than Linda Giambra.

　　D. Early experts didn't understand what daydreams were.

　　4、What is the main difference between daydreams and sleep dreams?

　　A. People have daydreams and sleep dreams at different times.

　　B. Daydreams are the result of unconscious mind while sleep dreams are that of conscious mind.

　　C. Daydreams are more harmful.

　　D. Daydreams are more helpful in solving problems.

　　Passage 2

　　“Mummy, I don’t know what to play with,” Steve interrupts his mother, who is talking to a friend, for the 4th time. “You’ve got a room full of toys!” his mother says, impatiently. In fact it is the jumble of toys which is to blame for four-year-old Steve’s lack of interest in his dolls, cars and stuffed animals. Each morning he tips out three washing baskets of toys all over his floor, listlessly pulls out something and shortly after is standing at his mother’s desk or following her into the kitchen saying, “Mummy, I am bored.”

　　A family doctor explains why children lose interest when they have a whole “toy shop” at home, “According to their brain development, little children are not in a position to judge the quality of a variety of things at once. There is always just one favorite toy for the moment. All the rest is left lying about. “What can parents do to stop their children from being oversupplied with toys? Under no conditions should we simply make something disappear without the child’s knowledge. If he or she takes no more notice of a toy, a parent can ask if it can be stored or given away. Be warned though the child will always say he or she wants it then! A talk with relatives and friends may also help. Lyn is the mother of four-year-old Jessie, and we like her way. A small set of shelves in her child’s room holds the toys and books that are the current (at present) favorites .When it seems to her that her daughter is tired of these toys, they put them away in a box together and select some other toys from a cupboard in another room. The box of “old” toys goes into the cupboard. When her child says she is “bored”, they also get something from her cupboard—it may be something she has had for some time but because she hasn’t seen it for a while it is almost like a new toy .

　　Some favorite toys stay out all the time, and there is collection of dolls which sits in the corner, but in this way Lyn has found that she has fewer toys to put away at the end of the day and her daughter always has something “fresh” to play with.

　　1、Steve interrupted his mother several times because____.

　　A. he felt uninterested in his toys.

　　B. he disliked his mother’s guest.

　　C. he didn't have enough toys to play with.

　　D. he hoped his mother would play with him.

　　2、According to the family doctor, children often complain that they have nothing to play with because____.

　　A. they can’t play alone for a long time.

　　B. they are too young to play with so many toys.

　　C. they are too lazy to pick out their favourites.

　　D. they lack the ability to value too many things at a time.

　　3、Which of the following can be used in place of “jumble” (Paragraph 1, line 2)?

　　A. Simple choice.
