Dreams are necessary in our life. We know that about 25% of our _ 21__ time is spent dreaming. This is true for everyone, whether you are the kind of person who ordinarily remembers your dreams or not. Often our dreams show us “the other side of the picture”, 22 us aware of the things we have failed to take conscious 23 of during the day. For instance, if you dream that your new boss, who seems gruff (语言粗暴的) and unfriendly during the working hours, is smiling at you and 24 you for your work, perhaps you have subliminally (下意识地) 25 up signals that day that his bark is worse than his bite.
All of us need dreams, and the 26 we are, the more necessary they appear to be. Babies spend 27 half their sleep in the dreaming phase. When adult subjects in an experiment were given drugs that eliminated（排除）their 28 for several nights, they became increasingly irritable（易怒的） and 29 , and often began having difficulty concentrating. Too much dreaming appears to have its drawbacks too. If you doze late on Sunday mornings, you often wake up feeling tired. The 30 is that the more you sleep, the longer your dreams become.

Secondhand smoke clearly kills people and the only way to control it is to ban smoking in all workplaces, US Surgeon-General Dr Richard Carmona said.
In 1964Surgeon General’s report first laid out the 21 of smoking. Years later, in another report Dr Richard Carmona 22 the effects of secondhand smoke and said no one should be forced to inhale it.
“Secondhand smoke causes early death and disease in children and in 23 who do not smoke,” the report reads. “Children 24 to secondhand smoke are at an increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome（综合症）, acute respiratory（呼吸道） infections, and ear problems,” it adds.
Smoking by 25 causes respiratory symptoms and slows lung growth in their children. A 2005 report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 430 26 died every year in the United States from sudden infant death syndrome-all 27 by secondhand smoke.
States, 28 and other local authorities have battled over instituting（制定）smoking bans. Some 29 , especially bars and restaurants, have said they will lose business if smoking is completely banned. But the report said it is impossible to protect non-smokers even with designated smoking areas, and at least one report from California, which has strict bans, has shown no 30 on businesses.
