A city in South Korea has added a new attraction to its cultural landscape(景观)—the world’s first “Toilet Theme Park”. The Restroom Cultural Park in the city of Suwon is proving a huge hit with locals and tourists alike.
The park was built to memorize the former city mayor Sim Jae-duck, known as “Mr Toilet”. He believed the toilet is a very important place and full of culture. Visitors to the park can enjoy its toilet- bowl- shaped exhibition hall as well as lots of bronze statues(铜像) in all kinds of toilet positions. They can even sit on Mr Kim’s original toilet, which includes a full-length glass door that mists(蒙上薄雾) up when it is being used.
Suwon has become well known because of the promotion(宣传) of toilet culture. The city attracts toilet- related artwork from around the world to its galleries. It famously hosts the Golden Poop Art Festival- a celebration of one of the calls of nature. The city also lists lots of its own public toilets as tourist attractions on its website. Sim Jae-duck’s toilet-shaped house, now a museum, should be the must-see for enthusiasts. It’s said that Mr Sim was born in the loo of his mother’s house, so he loved toilets very much. He said in 2007, “The toilet can save humankind from diseases and is a place for introspection(反省). The toilet is also a central living place that has culture.”

It is said that all dreams serve a purpose. 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 (神志清醒的) 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
C．dreamers	D．scientists

B．While playing at a fun park．

. 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.

D．We feel very nervous after we wake up.

What is the best title of the passage?

A．Daydreaming of You	B．Enjoy Your Dream
C．What Dreams Mean	D．Where Dreams Go

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money for a very expensive operation.
When she heard her daddy say “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand.
“What do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my brother, Andrew” the girl answered. “He has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I’ve brought all my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man.
“$1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.
“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$1.11, the price of a miracle for your little brother.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to your house. I want to see your brother. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again.
