A

Rome had the Forum(广场)．London has Speaker’s Corner．Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill．

Liz and Bill，two college graduates in their early 20s，have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street corners．Just talk．

Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says，“Talk to Me”．they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient，and men in business suits．

They don’t collect money．They don’t push religion．So what’s the point?

“To see what happens，”said Liz．“We simply enjoy life with open communication．”

Shortly after Obama’s election in January 2009，they decided to walk from New York City to Washington，a 270-mile trip．They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return．

“It started as a crazy idea．”Liz said．“We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories．People will talk to us about anything：their jobs，their clothes，their childhood experiences，anything．”

Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take．She had stopped by for the second time in two days，to let the two listeners know how it went．

Marcia had lost her husband because of a serious disease．“That was very heavy on my

mind．”Marcia said，“To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good．”she explained．

To celebrate a year of talking，the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year．A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters．

They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks．Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something they say they’ll consider．

What did you dream about last night? Did your teeth fall out or did you fly? Maybe you died or someone you know did．Or maybe you were back in high school．These are among the most common dreams people have and they all mean something．Here are some of the most common dreams and their interpretations or symbolism．

Dreams of flying．Dreams of flying represent feelings of freedom that may result from an instance when you overcome a limitation or obstacle．Usually, children have more flying dreams than adults, because children are more open to their possibilities, and adults have often accepted limitations imposed by society．

Teeth falling out．Food in a dream is symbolic of knowledge because food nourishes the physical body and knowledge nourishes the soul．Teeth are a means to break down food or knowledge．When your teeth fall out in a dream, it could signify that yo
u feel ill-equipped to break down the knowledge that you have available, that the way you break things down has changed．That change can be either positive or negative．

High school dreams．High school is a place of learning from the past, and dreaming of being unprepared for a high school test can indicate a struggle to access information you need to handle in your life．

Recurring(重复的) dreams and nightmares．Recurring dreams are your subconscious （潜意识）mind's way of trying to get your attention．A recurring dream is a step down from a nightmare that is a louder, more insistent way your subconscious mind communicates．If you have a recurring dream, try to stop in the dream and identify what the dream is trying to tell you．That could mean asking someone who is chasing you what he or she wants．A woman dreamed for years that an old, haggard (憔悴的)woman was chasing her around her home．When she finally stopped in the dream and asked the old woman what she represented, the old,woman suddenly turned into a beautiful young woman and replied, "I represent your question of ' what if?’ "

A．high school dream B．dream of flying

C．dream of teeth falling out D．a nightmare

A．break out B．rush out C．make out D．carry out
