北京市西城区2011-2012年初二第一学期期末试卷（北区）(2)

time, the brain (头脑)is very active. Second, everyone dreams – even if we cannot remember doing so when we wake up. Finally, a part of our brain helps us understand daily experiences. While we are asleep, it works more slowly, and sometimes puts our thoughts (想法)and memories together in strange ways.

Scientists don’t know for certain why we dream. Some believe that our dreams are connected with thoughts and feelings that we experience while we are awake. For example, many researchers think that a dream about death is really thought to be about giving or receiving an important message. Dreams about a car or travel often feelings about your own life. Dreams about teeth –especially broken or loose (松动的) ones – mean freedom.

Dream researchers think that people in our dreams can tell us something about ourselves. If the person in the dream was shouting loudly, for example, maybe you are angry. If he or she was nervous, then maybe you are afraid of something.

There is still a lot about dreaming we don’ t understand. By learning more about our dreams, we may learn more about ourselves. 48. When do we have most of our dreams? A. At the beginning of sleep. C. During REM sleep.
