It is said that all dreams serve a purpose（目的）. While there is no agreement among scientists about why we dream, there are many ideas about the different kinds of dreams we have.
One common kind of dream is the repeating dream, in which the same story is repeated again and again, often for many months or even years. Some believe these are a sign people have a problem in their life and once that problem is gone then the dream will stop. Others think they are a way to help people remember something very important.
Another well-known kind of dream is the nightmare. The pictures and stories in such dreams make people very afraid and dreamers usually remember them far more clearly than normal dreams. The cause of such dreams may be seeing something terrifying such as a car accident or some deadly snakes. Others think such dreams may be trying to make a person pay attention to something that is dangerous in their life.
Daydreams happen during wake-time when we forget where we are or what we are doing and find ourselves in a made-up story or unreal world. We often daydream when we are doing something that is not interesting or exciting. They help us think about our future.
Lucid dreams are the most fun. These happen when dreamers suddenly understand that they are dreaming. Instead of waking up, they stay in the dream and are able to control what happens in the dream as if they are making a movie.The underlined word “they” (in paragraph 2) refers to “_________”.
| A．dreams |
| B．problems |

The underline word “terrifying” (in paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _________.

| D．amazing |
When might a person daydream?
| A．During a very interesting movie. |
| B．While playing at a fun park. |
| C．While listening to an uninteresting talk. |
| D．When making a movie. |
How do we know if we are lucid dreaming?
| A．We can remember the dream very clearly. |
| B．We can control what happens in the dream. |
| C．We think that the dream is like a movie. |

Dear sir,
I am writing to introduce myself, with the hope of getting the job you advertised in Daily News.
When I was a child, I was fond of English and always got good grades. In 1994, after six years of hard work in Beijing No. 4 Middle School, I entered People’s University. I studied English there for four years.
Luckily, I got my first job when I graduated. I taught English in Beijing No. 4 Middle School from 1998 to 2001. Then I got the chance to receive further education in University of Hawaii in the US. That was a precious experience of my life. I learnt a lot during those two years, especially the differences between eastern and western cultures.
I came back to People’s University in 2003. I worked as an assistant(助手) for 2 years and then as a professor. So far, I have got 8 years of working experience.
I won lots of awards. I was an “Excellent Student” of People’s University in 1997, and “Outstanding Teacher” of Beijing No. 4 Middle School in 2000.
Thank you for reading my letter, and I will appreciate it very much if you can reply soon.
Yours sincerely
Li Guolong

After ten minutes he came back.
