Passage 11
Dream is a story that a personwatchesor even takes
part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are
related to real experiences and needs in the dreamer's life. They
seem real while they are taking place. Some dreams are
pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening.
Everyone dreams, but some persons never recall
dreaming. Others remember only a little about a dream they
had just before awakening and nothing about earlier dreams.
No one recalls all his dreams.
Dreams involve little logical thought. In most dreams,
the dreamer cannot control what happens to him. The story
may be confusing, and things happen that would not happen
in real life.
People see in most dreams, but they may also hear,
smell, touch, and taste in their dreams. Most dreams occur in
color. but persons who have been blind since birth do not see
at all in dreams.
Dreams are a product of the sleeper's mind. They
include events and feelings that he has experienced. Most
dreams are related to events of the day before the dream and
strong wishes of the dreamer. Many minor incidents of the
hours before sleep appear in dreams. Few events more than
two days old turn up. Deep wishes or fears - especially those
held since childhood- often appear in dreams, and many
dreams fulfil such wishes. Events in the sleeper's surrounding-
a loud noise, for example, may become part of a dream, but
they do not cause dreams.
Some dreams involve deep feelings that a person may
not realize he has. Psychiatrists
（精神病医生）
often use material
from a patient's dreams to help the person understand himself
better.
Dreaming may help maintain good learning ability,
memory, and emotional adjustment. People who get plenty of
sleep-but are awakened each time they begin to dream-
become anxious and restless.

Passage 12
According to psychologists
（心理学家）
, an emotion is
aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad
or good. When a person feels like running away from
something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. if
the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call
the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused
when we think something can help us. An emotion does not
have to be created by something in the outside world. it can be
created by a person's thoughts.
Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe
that infants are born without emotions. They believe children
learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing
child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in
certain situations because of an emotion.
Psychologists think that there are two types of
emotion
：
positive and negative. Positive emotions include
love, liking, joy, delight, and hope. They are aroused by
something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a
person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear,despair,
sadness, and disgust. in growing up, a person learns to cope
with the negative emotions in order to be happy.
Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong
emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try any means to
escape from them. in order to feel happy, the person may
choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion.
Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve
problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying
attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an
examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot
think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he
needs for the examination.

created by something
。
A
）

one tries to
escape from real life

Passage 13
Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever
wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people
？
Even a
skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that
make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-or
even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces.
We all take this ability for granted.
We also tell people apart by how they behave. When
we talk about someone's personality, we mean the ways in
which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that
individual different from others.
Like the human face, human personality is very
complex. But describing someone's personality in words is
somewhat easier than describing his face. if you were asked to
describe what anice facelooked like, you probably would have a
difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe anice
person,you might begin to think about someone who was kind,
considerate, friendly, warm,and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks,
feels and acts. Gordon all ports, an American psychologist,
found nearly 18 000 English words characterizing differences in
people's behavior. And many of us use this information as a
basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms,
conservatives, military types-people are described with such
terms.
People have always tried totypeeach other. Actors in
early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether
they played the villain's
（坏人）
or the hero's role. In fact, the
wordspersonandpersonalitycome from the Latin persona,
, most television and movie actors do not
wear masks. But we can easily tell thegood guysfrom thebad
guysbecause the two types differ in appearance as well as in
actions.
