Dreams are expressions of thoughts,feelings and events that pass through our mind while we are sleeping.Everybody dreams.But only some people remember their dreams.Our dreams often include all the senses-smells,sounds,sights,tastes and things we touch.We dream in colour.Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again.These repeated dreams are often unpleasant.They may even be nightmares-bad dreams that frighten us.
Early in the twentieth century,two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams.Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud published a book called “The Interpretation(诠释)of Dreams” in l 900.Freud believed people often dream about things they want but can’t have.These dreams often have something to do with sex and aggression(侵犯).Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams could help people grow and understand themselves.He believed dreams provide solutions(解答)to problems we face when we are awake.He didn’t believe dreams hide our feelings about sex or aggression.Today we know more about the science of dreaming because researchers can take pictures of people’s brains while they are sleeping.
Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions(感情).Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry at Harvard University in Massachusetts.Doctor Stickgold says that when we dream,the brain is trying to make sense of the world.He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and desires(愿望).
Scientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams.Doctor Stickgold says it has been more than one hundred years since Sigmund Freud published his important book about dreaming:Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream.
According to the passage,dreams _________.

A.are remembered by everyone

A.believe dreams can help people understand all the problems that they face
B.think dreams always hide someone’s feelings about sex or aggression

A.Jung thought that dreams provide solutions to problems we face when we are sleeping
B.Freud developed the idea that dreams are expressions of people’s hidden feelings
C.scientists have known quite well why we dream because they can take pictures of our brains

Peter was a carpenter(木匠)of our village.Once I asked him to make a dining table for my wife.He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows.When I arrived home that evening,Peter was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for his work.

My wife said to me,quietly:"That's his ninth cup of tea today."But she said loudly:"It's a beautiful table,dear,isn't it?"

I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it.Mother sat writing letters.Standing by her chair,looking at the ink bottle,pens,and white paper,I decided that the action of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.

Years later,during her final illness.Mother kept different things for my sister and brother."But the desk,"she said again,"is for Elizabeth."

I never saw her angry,and never saw her cry.I knew she loved me; she just did it.But as a young girl,I wanted to have heart﹣to﹣heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened.And a gulfopened between us.I was"too emotional(易感动的)".But she lived"on the surface (表面)".

As years passed,I had my own family.I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family.I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原谅) me.

My hope turned to disappointment,then little interest and,finally,peace﹣it seemed that nothing happened.I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother.I only knew that I had written it,and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

But the present of her desk told me,as she'd never been able to,that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work.I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside﹣a photo of my father and a one﹣page letter,folded and refolded many times.It was my letter.

"In any way you chose,Mother,you always chose the act that speaks louder than words."
