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.

Teenage years can be confusing for both teenagers and parents．At about 15, many teens start thinking about how they feel about themselves and out how this matches or mismatches what others think of them．Most teens work through this by the age of 16 or 17．
Often teenagers are treated like bigger children, but they will never become and responsible if they are not allowed to make some decisions for themselves．If parents forbid their children from doing something, chances are that they will do it without permission anyway．The role of a parent must, therefore, change from that of protector and keeper to that of friend and ．
Yet even the most caring parents misunderstand their children sometimes, and some think of teenagers as insecure, stubborn and ．As a result, teenagers always keep their from their parents．Teens often that their parents repeat the same things over and over again and never listen to them．Parents must understand that teens need to be allowed to their side of any problem and express their point of view．
