dreams. To begin with. I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still and then, by some
queer magic, wandering into another kind of existence. As a child, I could never understand why
grown-ups took dreaming so calmly when they could make such a fuss about any holiday, This still
puzzles me. I am puzzled by people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the
subject. It is much more astonishing than it would be if they said they never went out for a walk. Most
people do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives. They appear to see it as an irritating little
habit, like sneezing or yawning I can never understand this. My dream life does not seem as important
as my waking life because there is far less of it, but to me it is important.

lawless young men.
There are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes. A cyclist"s appearance
has something to do with this dislike. Motorcyclists frequently look dirty;in fact,they are dirty. 0n the
road there is little to protect them from mud,crushed insects and bird droppings. For practical reasons
they are often dressed in old clothing which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who
ride in cars. For the same reason motorcyclists usually wear dark colors. Perhaps this helps to explain
why they are sometimes suspected of having evil natures. In old plays of long ago,evil characters usually
wore black. In cowboy movies the "bad guys" usually wear black hats while the "good guys" wear lighter
colors.
Something else about their appearance makes an unfavorable impression. In their practical,protective
clothing they look very much like the men on military motorcycles in the movies of World War II-cruel
enemies who roared into peaceful villages filling people"s hearts with fear.
Probably the machine itself also produces anger and fear. Motorcycles are noisy,though some big
trucks are even noisier. But trucks are big and carry heavy loads;they are accepted(if not really
welcomed)because they perform a needed service,making America move. Motorcycles,on the other
hand,make all unpleasant noise just to give their riders pleasure. That is what is commonly thought. In the
woods motorcycles,frighten animals. Roaring along quiet streets, they wake sleeping families and make
babies cry.
Of course the danger of motorcycling,also helps account for many people"s low opinion of the sport.
Its defenders, however,claim that careful cyclists are in less danger than commonly behaved.
A cyclist must drive as if everybody around him wanted to kill him. He must pay careful attention to
his driving. From that point of view,a man on a motorcycle is safer than,a man in a car.

A. motorcyclists are all blue-collar workers
B. motorcycling has become one of America"s most popular sports

3. We can conclude that______
A. all good guys in cowboy movies weal white
B. there existed different opinions towards motorcycling sport
C. animals in the woods like motorcycles because motorcyclists usually feed crashed insects to them
D. motorcycles will make noise as soon as people go to sleep
4. Why do Some people claim that a man on a motorcycle is safer than a man in a car ?
A. because car race is a sport with several disadvantages
B. because motorcyclists must drive very carefully
C. because most people want to keep a distance from the dirty motorcycles for fear that they
should lose dignity
D. because motorcycles tend to be accepted by more and more people
5. Which of the statement is right?
A. all motorcycles are wild young men
B. all motorcycles are irresponsible young men
C. all motorcycles are lawless young men

cleverer cheat Either way , it could be the perfect crime, because the criminals are birds-horning pigeons !
The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car : if you want the car back,
pay up then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money
to the neck of the pigeon inside . Carrying the money in a tiny bag , the pigeon flies off .
There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work
of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however , may in face be the work of an even lazier and more
inventive criminal mind-one that avoid not only colleting money but going out to steal the car in the first
place . Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has pulled a double trick: he gets money for
things he cannot possibly return . Instead of stealing cars , he lets someone else do it and then waits for
the car-owner to place an ad. in the newspaper asking for help .
The theory is supported by the fact that , so far , none of the stolen cars have been returned . Also,
the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars -seems too little for a car worth many
times more .
Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if
they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal . "We have more important things to do, "
he said .

3 . The writer mentions the fact that "none of the stolen cars have been returned" to show .

of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud burp after you finish eating. Burping

In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.
