8、n by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source. They are not a look into the future, either. All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or ti
9、red, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have tod
10、ay. So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping(feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc. )and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, olde
11、r children of school examinations, hungry people of food, homesick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom. To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep an
12、d the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling his hand gently! There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dre
13、ams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out.1.Fro

For
17、 the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since. The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan(named after the great Venusian astronomer Prof. Manhattan, who first discovered it w
18、ith his telescope 20,000 light years ago). Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to the feasibility(可行性)of a manned flying saucer(飞碟)landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Te
19、chnology. “We have come to the conclusion, based on last weeks satellite landing,” Pro. Zog said, “that there is no life on the Earth.” “How do you know this?” the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked. “For on thing, Earths surface in the area of Manhattan is composed of solid concrete a
20、nd nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive.” “What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?” “We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means hea
21、vier flying saucer than we originally planned.” “Are there any other risks that you discovered in your studies?” “Take a look at his photo. You see this dark black cloud floating over the surface of Earth?” We call this the Consolidated Edison Belt. We dont know what it is made of, but it could give
22、 us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venus Being there.” “ If what you say is true, wont this set back the flying saucer program several years?” “Yes, but we shall proceed as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds.” “Pro. Zog, why are we spending bill
23、ions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth when there is no life there? “Because if we Venusians can learn to breathe in an Earth atmosphere, then. We can live anywhere.”1.The Venusians were excited this week because they _.A.landed a satellite with Venus astronauts on EarthB.made
