When I was in high school, I had a recurring(反复的) dream of my teeth falling out. I dreamt about my teeth just about every night for at least three weeks. Sometimes they would fall out one at a time, sometimes all at once. I became terrified that my dreams meant I would actually lose my teeth. Nine years later and about a million trips to the dreams, I still have a full set of teeth, but I’ve learned that when we’re experiencing stress in our lives, it tends to show up in our dreams as well．
Miller says losing teeth indicates burdens that crush your pride. If your teeth are knocked out, you’ll have sudden misfortune． Other explanations for dreams about lost teeth are that the dreamer is feeling powerless in life and may be in a transitional（过度的） period from one situation of life to another. Some experts believe that dreams of l
osing teeth today show we’re just as insecure and uncertain as we were in
childhood．When I dreamt about my teeth back in high school, I was trying to choose a college— a stressful decision． The dreams resurfaced when college graduation rolled around four years later and I’m sure they’ll start again when I graduate．
A little of stress in our everyday lives is normal. But sometimes it becomes such a regular occurrence in our lives that it influences our dreams and causes us to lose valuable sleep. Understanding our dreams is key to identifying and ending stress in our waking hours and restoring peace to our nighttime hours．

A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five

underlined expression “rolled around” means_______A．came about B．came down C．came near D．rolled out

A．Our dream can reflect what we go through in our real life．
B．Dreams can damage our valuable sleep．
C．We only dream when we are under great pressure．
D．Our dreams can show us what will happen in the future．
60．The author wrote the passage to tell us that______.
A．He wanted to show us his strange dreams．
B．He tried to explain why we dream．
C．Different people have different dreams
D．It is important for us to understand the meaning of our dreams

She finally found it in the cargo hold and sent it home first-class．Another time, she found two suitcases full of birds from Turkey．But her strangest experience was when she pulled a snake out of a man"s pants．
Mary Buendia is an animal health inspector at JFK Airport in New York．She takes care of all the animals that pass through the airport and checks that they are healthy．In the Animal Health Center, there are areas for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and fish. There is also an area for very big animals．The biggest they ever had was a black rhino．"It was no pro
blem," she says．At the center, they receive all types of animals—monkeys, wild cats, poisonous spiders．It"s impossible for one person to know about all of these, but there are 20 people working with Mary．Between them, they understand how to take care of the animals．She recently had to feed a group of toucans, which are rare birds．"Luckily," she says, "there is a supermarket nearby which is open 24 hours．I had to go at 2 a．m．to buy bananas．"
Mary often works at night． "It"s quiet between 1 a．m． and 4 a．m．," she says, "because we don"t have night flights． We try to give the animals a quiet night．" Mary clearly loves her job. "You never know what the day will bring," she says, and goes off to feed the birds．
