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 you 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 dreams and nightmares.Recurring dreams are your subconscious (潛意識)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 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?’ "

D
Life has changed in Mexico City.Streets normally filled with people are empty.One of the most popular professional soccer teams recently played a game in an empty stadium that can seat more than100,000 people.It's swine (豬)flu that has made life in Mexico City grind to a halt (慢慢停了下來).
Seemingly out of nowhere, swine flu has caused confirmed deaths in 12 countries as of April 30.It has sent a wave of alarm around the world.Governments are trying to find ways to prevent further out-breaks.The World Health Organization has raised its swine flu global threat level to five out of six.
People may be familiar with bird flu, but they know little about swine flu.Swine flu is a contagious(傳染性) respiratory(呼吸的)disease in pigs.It is caused by a type-A influenza virus.
Humans can also catch swine flu.The virus causes regular outbreaks in pigs, but people usually do not catch it.However, there have been cases of the virus spreading to people, and then from one person to another.
The symptoms of swine flu are similar to the common flu.They include fever, lethargy (無精打采), lack of appetite, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, nausea(惡心), and vomiting (嘔吐).The high proportion of young adults among the deaths is one of several mysteries about this virus.Most of the dead had lung damage.What caused it is not yet known.
The virus spreads the same way the common flu does.When an infected person coughs or sneezes around another person, the latter is put at risk.People can get the disease by touching something with the flu virus on it and then touching their mouth, nose or eyes.
There are medicines to treat swine flu.Doctors suggest using anti - viral drugs.They keep the virus from reproducing inside the body.
And there are vaccines for it now, several everyday steps can also help prevent the spread of the virus: washing hands frequently; avoiding close contact with people who are sick; and avoiding touching surfaces that might have the virus on it.
People may worry that they will get swine flu from eating or preparing pork.In fact, you cannot catch the virus from pork products if they have been properly prepared and cooked.Cooking food at temperatures of 71℃ kills the virus.
69.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.It mainly tells us how swine flu broke out in Mexico City.
B.It presents the reader with some information concerning swine flu.
C.It tells us the differences between swine flu and bird flu.
D.It mainly tells readers the dangers caused by swine flu.
70.The following tips can protect us from swine flu EXCEPT _________.
A.keeping us away from other people
B.washing hands frequently
C.a(chǎn)voiding close contact with sick people
D.a(chǎn)voiding touching surfaces that might have the virus on them
71.What's the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.Mexico City is really a place of horror now.
B.People in Mexico City like staying at home.
C.People in Mexico City don't like soccer.
D.Swine flu has seriously affected people's life in Mexico City.
72.What can we infer from the passage?
A.At present there still aren't effective vaccines for swine flu.
B.Swine flu is preventable,controllable and curable.
C.From now on, people can't eat pork if they want to be safe.
D.All of the dead killed by swine flu had lung damage.

When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(優(yōu)先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well ad the social environment it came influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from  American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive(情感的)meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
小題1:According to Paragraph 1, students
A.regard music as a way of entertainment
B.disagree with their parents on education
C.view music as an overlooked subject
D.prefer the arts to science
小題2:In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz an example to
A.compare it with rock music
B.show music identifies a society
C.introduce American musical traditions
D.prove music influences people’s lifestyles
小題3:According to the passage, the arts and science      .
A. approach the world from different angles
B. explore different phenomena of the world
C express people’s feelings in different ways
D. explain what it means to be human differently
小題4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Music education deserves more attention.
B.Music should be of top education priority.
C.Music is an effective communication tool.
D.Music education makes students more imaginative.

When I was an education official in Palo Alto, California.Polly Tyner, the president of our school board, wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times.Polly's son, Jim.had great difficulty in school.He was classified as educationally disabled and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers.But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room.His parents acknowledged his academic difficulties, but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride.Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident.After his death, his mother submitted(提交)this letter to the newspaper.
Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. How I wish I had known when I talked to him last that it would be the last time. If I had only known I would have said, “Jim, I love you and I’m very proud of you.”
I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the many who loved him. I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, the sound of his laughter, his genuine love of people.
When you put all the good qualities on the scale and try to balance all the irritating phenomena such as the radio which was always too loud, the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., your angry feelings won’t amount to much.
I won’t get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, you do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear if you knew it would be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was the day he died. He called me to say, “Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. Got to go to work. Bye.” He gave me something to treasure forever.
If there is any purpose at all for Jim’s death, maybe it is to make others appreciate more of life and to have people, especially family members, take the time to let each other know just how much we care.
61.According to the passage, we know that _______.
A.Jim kept to himself    B.Jim did very well in his studies
C.Jim’s parents were patient with him         D.Jim failed to finish his high school
62.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.Many people in the school loved him.
B.Jim’s smile cheered up his family.
C.Jim was killed in a motorcycle accident at the age of 20.
D.Jim wanted to be a motorcyclist after his graduation.
63.The underlined word “irritating” in Paragraph 4 means _______.
A.a(chǎn)nnoying    B.a(chǎn)ggressive          C.impatient  D.thrilling
64.By writing the letter printed in the Palo Alto Times, the author intends to _______.
A.mourn her son’s sudden death in a traffic accident
B.remind people to be cautious of motorcycles
C.a(chǎn)dvise people to take the chance to express their love in time

“In our time,” Marx once wrote, “change is upon the world and cannot be stopped as we wish. The thing now is to understand it.” Marx devoted his life to understanding that change.
Born in Trier in 1818, he came from a rich, middle—class family. Many of his relatives believed in Judaism,but his father had changed to believe in Protestantism(新教) in order to become a lawyer. After studying at the universities of Bonn and Berlin, Marx became interested in politics in his early twenties and in 1848 wrote The Communist Manifesto, together with his life-long friend Friedrich Engels.
Revolution broke out throughout Europe in 1848 and Marx was forced to leave Germany when it failed in 1849. He moved to London, where he spent the rest of his life, working in the British Museum.
His stay in the house in Dean Street in Soho was a time of great hardship for Marx and his family. He was surviving almost on the money provided by Engels and on the very little money he earned as the foreign reporter for a newspaper in New York.

Marx died on March 14th ,1883, and was buried in Highgate Cemetery in north London.
