The music of your teenage years probably will stay with you for the rest of your life.I think music is deeply connected with memory because of the emotions it awakens.Music also helps to mark time because of the way the fashions and stars of pop culture come and go.I often connect some summers with particular records (唱片 ) that came out while I was on holiday.But what's really the best way to record your youth? Is it your favorite song, or a picture of the singer?

In my teenage years, one of the special things about Britain was the huge amount of information about music.There were 3 weekly newspapers about music：Sounds, Melody Maker and the New Musical Express.Buying records was expensive and it also meant making a choice.So it was wise to read about music instead, and in some ways, it was actually better as well.It was possible for a group to get onto the front cover of one of the music papers without even having made any records—but they needed things to say for the reporters to write about.In fact, the best pop stars of the 1980s were people whose main talent was exactly that.They weren' t great musicians or singers and they weren't especially good?looking, but they had some unusual acts or habits and a nice way with clever phrases.They were ideal for filling music papers.

When The Face magazine first came out in May, 1980, it was meant to be a rock magazine.I have given away or sold all the records I bought as a teenager, but I think my old copies of The Face will stay with me for ever.Although it started out as a source of information about music, the writers quickly realized that it wasn't really the music that was important—it was the way people spoke and acted, and, above all, the way they looked.

1.According to the author，music can NOT ________.

A．improve memory B．a(chǎn)waken emotions

C．mark time D．stay in the mind

2.We can infer that during the author's teenage years，________.

A．there were few records for customers to buy

B．some songs he heard while on holiday impressed him

C．he spent most of his holiday time on music

D．he loved one pop song the most

3.According to Paragraph 2，during the author's teenage years，________.

A．people had few chances to buy records

B．it was hard to judge whether records were good or not

C．it was not an easy thing for teenagers to get records

D．the choice of buying records only depended on newspapers

4.The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 means that ________.

A．people could get onto the music papers without having made any records

B．people's talent was not what reporters needed to write about

C．reporters wrote about the talents of pop stars

D．people read about music

History is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery.A striking example is provided by Dr.Otto Loewi，a pharmacologist and winner of a Nobel Prize.Loewi had spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses (脈搏)．A tremendous breakthrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row.The first two nights he woke up and wrote down the experiment quickly and untidily on paper.But the next morning，he couldn't tell what the notes meant.On the third night，he got up after having the dream.This time，instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the crucial experiment.Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it.

Loewi's experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions.Inhibitions (拘謹(jǐn)) are reduced during dreaming，which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view.

Being able to take advantage of dreams for problem solving is improved if you “set” yourself before retiring.Before you go to bed，try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve.Bury yourself in the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information.Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams.Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a novel solution or a new insight，it is certain to be an adventure.About half of a group of college students using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem.

1.The main idea of this passage is that ________.

A．very little is really known about the meaning of dreams

B．it is possible to “catch” one's dreams by planning before going to sleep

C．dreams can be useful in producing creative solutions to one's problems

D．Loewi's experiment helped in the study of transmision of nerve impulses

2.The first paragraph is mainly organized by ________.

A．classifying types of experiments

B．summarizing the work of one researcher

C．comparing and exploring historical cases

D．telling in time order about one man's research

3.If Loewi had thought of the experiment while awake，he would have ________.

A．a(chǎn)sked someone else to do it

B．thought it was a bad idea

C．tried it out on his own

D．thought it was a wise idea

4.The author probably thinks that ________.

A．Loewi should not have conducted his experiment

B．dreaming is of very little value to most people

C．inhibitions may stop someone thinking of useful ideas

D．college students should not try out dream experiments
