The United States is a country of immigrants. It is a place where people from all over the world come to build a better life. Some immigrants bring their families. Some bring a few of their favorite things. Others come alone with nothing but determination. One thing that every immigrant brings with them is their culture.

American immigration began in 1607 with the colony (殖民地) of Jamestown. In 1620, another group of people left England to build a settlement in America. They wanted to go to a place where they could practice their religion freely. Then many more people left their homes in Europe to build a better life in America. Many also came to America from Africa. By 1770, more than two million people had moved to America. Later on, more people came to the United States than ever before.

In cities all over America, you can see different cultures that formed this country. Many things that you may think of as being “American” are actually from a foreign culture. Some of the best examples of this are the foods people eat. Pizza and spaghetti are foods that all Americans know and love. But both of them are from Italy. Baseball is an all-American sport. But the hot dogs that people eat during the game are a type of food that was brought to America by German immigrants.

Over time, pizza and hot dogs have become a part of what is considered to be American food. In the same way, different groups of people have come together to define what an American is. An American can be a person of any background. An American can be of any faith. An American can be of any skin color. They can speak English clearly. They can speak English with an accent. Each new immigrant adds something new to American culture. It will keep changing as more people come to this country.

Scientists think it will be possible to record people's dreams and then interpret them, according to a new report.

They claim to have developed a system which allows them to record higher level brain activity.

Dr Moran Cerf told the journal Nature: "We would like to read people's dreams."

Previously the only way to access people's dreams is for psychologists to ask about them after the event and try to interpret them.

Dr Cerf hopes to eventually compare people's memories of their dreams with an electronic visualization(影像) of their brain activity.

He told the BBC: "There's no clear answer as to why humans dream. And one of the questions we would like to answer is when do we actually create this dream?"

The scientist believes his latest research shows that certain neurons(神經(jīng)元) or individual brain cells are linked with specific objects or concepts.

He found that a particular neuron lit up when a volunteer thought about Marilyn Monroe.

If a database was built up identifying various neurons with concepts, objects and people it would allow them to "read the subject's minds", according to Dr Cerf.

However, Dr Roderick Oner, a clinical psychologist and dream expert, said that this kind of visualisation would be of limited help when it came to interpreting the "complex dream narrative".

In addition to get a detailed picture of individual neurons subjects had to have electrodes implanted(植入電極) deep in the brain using surgery.

The Nature researchers used data from patients who had electrodes implanted to monitor and treat them for brain seizures(癲癇).

However, Dr Cerf said he hoped that it would be possible at a later stage to monitor people without invasive surgery. He said it would be "wonderful" to be able to read the minds of coma patients who are unable to communicate.

1.According to the passage, psychologists try to interpret people’s dreams______.

A. by recording higher level brain activity

B. by comparing people’s memories of their dreams with an electronic visualization

C. by asking about people after their dreams

D. by linking certain neurons with specific objects or concept

2.What’s the best title for this passage?

A. Scientists plan to record people’s dreams

B. Psychologists try to ask people about their dreams

C. Dream experts want to interpret the complex dream narrative

D. The Nature researchers intend to treat patients for brain seizures

3.According to Dr Cerf’s research, when a patient thinks about a famous film star, ______.

A. various neurons will identify the star as famous

B. a particular neuron will become bright with excitement

C. the star will appear in his brain

D. the star’s face will light up

4.The underlined word “coma” in the last paragraph most probably means______.

A. the lost of the ability to hear

B. being unable to control one’s movements

C. the state of being unconscious (無意識的)

D. being unable to move
