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 losing 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.
56.We know from the text that those who dreamt about lost his teeth indicates that________.
A.They will have sudden misfortune.
B.They are feeling powerless in life
C.They are as insecure and uncertain as they were in childhood
D.They are experiencing stress in their lives
57.How many different kinds of explanations are mentioned in the text about losing teeth?
A.Two B.Three C.Four D.Five
58.The underlined expression “rolled around” means_______
A.came about B.came down C.came near D.rolled out
59.We can infer from the text that___________.
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
