27、g A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 Let us begin by saying that what does not cause our dreams. Our dreams do not come from“ another“ world. They are not messages from some outside source. They are not a look into the future, either. All our dreams have something to do with our e
28、motions, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. But something on the“ outside“ may affect what we dream, ff a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream t
29、hat you are sleeping or resting on the ice and snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experiences you have today. So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort
30、, etc. ) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now. This is why very young children are likely to dream of angels, old children of school examinations, hungry people of food, homesick soldiers of their families, and prisoners of freedom. To show you how what
31、 is happening while you are asleep and how your wishes or needs can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of an experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of cotton. He would dream that he was in a hospital and his charming girl friend was visiting h
32、im, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hand. There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone, but it offers an interesting approach to the probl
33、em. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did net come true. In other words, a dream is a way of having your wishes carried out. 46 According to the passage, dreams seem to be mainly caused by _. （ A） something from“ another world“ （ B） some of peoples feelings （ C） some mat
34、erials people use （ D） peoples uncomfortable surroundings 47 What happens to us or what we do today will probably _. （ A） become the contents of our dreams （ B） have nothing in common with the contents of our dreams （ C） appear in our dreams just like the same in real life （ D） appear in our dreams

36、 Some scientists supported the statement that _. （ A） peoples dreams exactly reflected what they experienced （ B） people already know the direct cause of dreams （ C） all of peoples wishes can be reflected in their dreams （ D） we may know peoples wishes from the content of the dreams 50 The best titl
37、e of this passage would be _. （ A） How to Carry out Your Wishes （ B） Why People Dream （ C） Dream, a Look into the Future （ D） New Findings about Dreams 50 Many people, particularly recent college graduates, dreaming of owning their own businesses. Although such ventures are often exciting and profit
38、able, the new entrepreneur should thoroughly investigate and plan the situation before plunging in. The first step should be to assemble a board of advisers, including a lawyer, an accountant, and an insurance representative. These individuals can provide valuable information and counsel. Securing t
39、he necessary licenses and permits is also a precondition and may require research to determine what is necessary. Most successful small business owners have considerable knowledge in the area working for others be fore they become independent. They also begin with substantial financial backing and a
40、 good location. Renting space may be preferable or necessary at the start, but the lease on the building must be examined carefully before it is signed. The new owner should be thoroughly familiar with the market and the competition. A person who wants to buy an existing business can often learn the
41、 history of the company and its prospects from the owners records. Once the business gets started, accurate and complete records should be kept to monitor the companys progress and profits. Financing may be the most difficult step for small-business owners. They may rely on their own savings or borr
42、ow money from a bank or the Small Business Administration. Some suppliers will sell merchandise on credit, and manufacturers may be willing to finance the purchase of equipment. If the new business is a corporation, the owner may choose to sell stock. Once the new business is started, the Small Busi
43、ness Administration is a good source of advice. Several of its programs are designed to help new owners with expertise of retired executives. A nearby university or trade association may also help owners locate local sources of help. New business owners often report that they work long, hard hours b
44、ut find the experience extremely satisfying. The realization that their efforts will produce actual results in the form of profit, success, and pride can be quite motivating. Those who have worked for others enjoy the opportunity to make decisions and follow projects through to completion. Many repo
45、rt that hard work has never been so enjoyable before.

49、 nowadays. And we can expect the rate of change to accelerate rather than slow down within our lifetime. The developments in technology are bound to have a dramatic effect on the future of work.
