A

Let us begin by saying what does not cause our dreams. Our dreams do not come from "another world ". They are not messages from outside sources. They are not a look into the future, either.

All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind . If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on the ice or snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.

So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has an effect on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, discomfort, etc.) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, homesick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.

To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of an experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands.

There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanations of dreams, though a bit reasonable, are not accepted by everyone, but they offer an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that do not come true. In other words, dreams are a way of having your wishes carried out.

36．From the passage we know that our dreams 　　　.

A.are imagination of our daily life

B.are man’s curious look into the future

C.have nothing to do with our feelings

D.are to some degree connected with our feelings

37．Older children often dream of examinations probably because 　　　.

A.they are interested in exams

B.they are often worried about their studies

C.they hope for a better life

D.they show much interest in their studies

38．According to the writer, the explanations of dreams that some scientists made 　　　.

A.are considered interesting, but unreasonable

B.give a good answer to the question why we dream

C.have some value, though not fully convincing

D.have been proved by the findings of their studies

39．Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A.Why People Dream? B.New Findings about Dreams

C.Dream Makes Hopes D.What Dreams Mean?

B

The name might sound like that of a superhero, but Pooperman’s task is much more basic.

He, or she, is trying to shame the irresponsible dog owners of Lincoln into cleaning up behind their pets.

Pooperman sticks notes into dog waste that owners have failed to clean up, warning them not to do it again. The typed notes read, "Don’t leave it. You might be the one who steps in it the next time you walk this way."

While welcoming the purpose of the message, local government officers have rounded on Pooperman for producing even more rubbish.

They say they would prefer it if people told them when there was a problem rather than adding to the rubbish problem. The city of Lincoln government’s environmental officer, Tony Garner, said, "The public can help instead by observing dog owners to make sure they clean up after their pets, perhaps asking them to remove the waste if they try to leave it."

"If this doesn’t work we can take action — people can tell us who the owner is, give us a description of the owner and the dog, or simply tell us when and where they allow their dog to produce the waste."

"We can then focus our patrols(巡逻) and take action against irresponsible owners."

Sue Grace, a dog owner from Birchwood, Lincs, said, "I always clean up after my dog. It’s very irresponsible if you don’t."

"There’s nothing worse than stepping in dog waste or dragging your long lead through it, but I don’t know that putting notes on it is the answer."

"It’s good that the local government is fighting against dog waste, though it might take one or two prosecutions(起诉) to make any difference."

40．What does Pooperman try to do?

A.To have irresponsible dog owners remove dog waste.

B.To advise the local government to protect the environment.

C.To praise responsible dog owners for protecting the environment.

D.To remind the local government to deal with the dog waste problem.

41．What does the underlined part "rounded on" in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.Punished. B.Blamed. C.Laughed at. D.Worried about.

42．According to the environmental officer, the public can 　　　.

A.punish irresponsible dog owners when necessary

B.report irresponsible dog owners to the police if possible

C.force irresponsible dog owners to clean up dog waste in some way

D.request irresponsible dog owners to clean up dog waste then and there

43．The dog owner Sue Grace believes that 　　　.

A.the local dog owners are irresponsible

B.Pooperman is responsible and doing an effective job

C.the law may play a role in fighting against dog waste

D.the local government’s fighting against dog waste is successful
