29、sand dreams a year, however few of these nocturnal productions are remembered on waking. Even the most confined “non-dreamers“ will remember dreams if woken up systematically during the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) periods. These are periods of light sleep during which the eyeballs move rapidly back and

30、 forth under the closed lids and the brain becomes highly activated, which happens three or four times every night of normal sleep.It is a very interesting question why some people remember dreams regularlyperhaps several a night on occasionwhile others remember hardly any at all under normal condit

31、ions. In considering this, it is important to bear in mind that the dream tends to be an elusive phenomenon for all of us. We normally never recall a dream unless we awaken directly from it, and even then it has a tendency to fade quickly into oblivion.Given this general elusiveness of dreams, the b

32、asic factor that seems to determine whether a person remembers them or not is the same as that which determines all other memory, namely degree of interest. Dream researchers have made a broad classification of people into “recallers“ those who remember at least one dream a monthand “non-recallers“,

33、 who remember fewer than this. Tests have shown that cool, analytical people with a very rational approach to their feelings tend to recall fewer dreams than those whose attitude to life is open and flexible. Engineers generally recall fewer dreams than artists. It is not surprising to discover that

34、 in western society, women normally recall more dreams than men, since women are traditionally allowed an instinctive, feeling approach to life.In modern urban-industrial culture, feeling and dreams tend to be treated as frivolities which must be firmly subordinated to the realities of life. We pay

35、lip-service to the inner life of imagination as it expresses itself in the arts, but in practice relegate music, poetry, drama and painting to the level of spare-time activities, valued mainly for the extent to which they refresh us for a return to work. We discourage our children from paying much a

But if youve ever been pregnant yourself, one thing is c

40、ertain: You wonder what its like to carry a test-tube baby. Are these pregnancies normal? Are the babies normal?The earliest answers come from Australia, where a group of medical experts at the Queen Victoria Medical Center in Melbourne have taken a look at the continents first nine successful invit

41、ro pregnancies. The Australians report that the pregnancies themselves seemed to have proceeded according to plan, but at birth some unusual trends did show up. Seven of the nine babies turned out to be girls. Six of the nine were delivered by Caesarean section. And one baby, a twin, was born with a

42、 serious heart defect and a few days later developed life-threatening problems.What does it all mean? Even the doctors dont know for sure, because the numbers are so small. The proportion of girls to boys is high, but until there are many more test-tube babies no one will know whether thats somethin

43、g that just happened to be like that or something special that happens when egg meets sperm in a test tube instead of a fallopian tube. The same thing is true of the single heart defect. It usually shows up in only 15 out of 60,000 births in that part of Australia, but the fact that it occurred in o

44、ne out of nine test-tube babies does not necessarily mean that they are at special risk. One thing the doctors can explain is the high number of Caesareans. Most of the mothers were older, had long histories of fertility problems and in some cases had had surgery on the fallopian tubes, all of which

45、 made them likely candidates for Caesareans anyway.The Australian researchers report that they are quite encouraged. All the babies are now making normal progress, even the twin with the birth defects.（分数：5.00）(1).What concern will the test-tube baby raise according to the passage?A. Whether the pre
