We all dream although we remember only a few of our dreams. Some people train themselves to remember their dreams. As soon as they wake up, they record what their dreams were about.

Scientists believe that we have different kinds of sleep. One kind is called R.E.M. R.E.W. stands for rapid eye movement. During this kind of sleep our eyes move quickly, even though they are closed. Although we are asleep, there is a lot of brain activities. We probably have dreams at this time.

Sometimes people talk in their sleep. In these dreams the dreamer is usually unhappy or worried about something. The worst of the dreams are so frightening that we call them nightmares. In a nightmare we often dream that we are being closed () or that we are trapped in some way.

Scientists or others have written books about the meanings of dreams. The most famous of these scientists was Sigmund Freud who wrote a hundred years ago. He suggested different meanings to certain kinds of dreams. It is possible, however, that every dream has a special meaning only for the person who dreams it, and that this dream about something in that person’s life.

1. How can we tell if someone is having an R.E.M. dream?

   C. Their eyes are moving quickly.               D. heir eyes are moving slowly.

2. What does the word “nightmare” in the 3rd paragraph means in Chinese?

What are the hopes of teenagers?

We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after finishing your education? It seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents. Other students hope to continue studying after finishing school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.
