memories. but something on the “outside” may affect 48 we dream. if a person is hungry 49 tired or cold, his dream may include a feeling of this kind. if the blanket on your body has slipped 50 your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping or resting on the ice or snow. so the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect 51 you while you are sleeping(feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now. 52 are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and

expressions of wishes that did not come 54 . in 55 words, a dream is a way of having your wishes carried out.【答案】【小题1】what【小题2】or【小题3】off【小题4】on【小题5】there 【小题6】an【小题7】true【小题8】otherpart readi ng

reliable image of china to african audiences and vice versa(反之亦然). agreement on this important step in ongoing cooperation between the two sides was reached by media representatives attending a media forum on september 19 in abuja, nigeria. the agreement comes in the wake of increasing attention being paid by the international community on africas deepening relationship with china. this presents an important opportunity for media in china, nigeria and other african countries. we should seize the moment to expand cooperation between chinese and nigeria media, increase our say, and contribute to cooperation between china, nigeria and africa as a whole, said li wufeng, vice minister of the state council information office at the china-nigeria media meeting. the media meeting was jointly held by the state council information office, the chinese embassy in nigeria, and the federal ministry of education, nigeria. it formed part of the experience china program, which aims to increase cultural exchanges and mutual understanding between china and other parts of the world. in the past, due to poor communication facilities, china and african countries could only learn about each other through third parties, in particular western media, which may have given rise to and perpetuated misunderstandings. china is still not a constant feature or subject on the front page and prime time in the news media in nigeria unless there are disasters and alleged human rights abuses to be reported, said martins oloja, editor of the guardian. major western media continue to promote a cold war mentality and view sino-african ties through the lens of geopolitics, framing everything as competition between east and west, chinese and nigerian media professionals said at the forum. some western media outlets accuse china of ignoring mutually beneficial solutions or sustainable development of african people, while robbing the continent of its natural resources. nigerians cannot expect aljazeera or bbc to report on africa, and indeed nigeria and china relations, the way we want, said oloja. mutually objective coverage will generate more cooperation and better understanding between china and nigeria, said li xiaohua, a representative from china. , a leading multi-language website in china.【小题1】what is the purpose of this media forum on september 19 in abuja?a. more international community should pay attention to africas deepening relationship with china.b. people should seize the moment to expand cooperation between china and african countries.c. chinese and nigerian media should pay more attention to their own growing roles and strive to present a reliable image to each other.d. let more chinese people know about the culture of africa.【小题2】whats the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 4?a. defeated b. continued c. disappeared d. decreased【小题4】what is the attitude of the major western media towards the sino-african relationship?a. they think highly of it. b. they report it as it is.c. they view it through the angle of geopolitics.d. they view it as a competition between two countries.【小题5】what is the best title for this passage?a. having a bigger say b. a media forum between china and nigeriac. helping the african media d. improving our report in africa【答案】【小题1】c【小题2】b【小题3】d【小题4】c【小题5】a【解析】bone of my china dialogue colleagues in beijing recently bought a philips energy-saving light bulb to replace a standard onehe was happy with his choiceit may have cost 30 yuan （just under us$450） - ten times the price of a filament （灯丝） bulb - but he wanted to save energy as part of his low-carbon lifestyleand according to the shopkeeper, he would save, in the long run, much more than the 30 yuan he was spendingyet only one month later, his expensive light bulb blew up, before he had saved even a small part of the purchase pricewill he stick to his high-cost, low-carbon lifestyle?chinas environmental organizations have started to advocate low-carbon lifestyles and the decrease of carbon footprints to help fight against climate changebut they have overlooked one fact: in china, low-carbon living comes at a high costit means buying energy-saving bulbs and appliances, and environmentally friendly building materials and daily goodscost can no longer be the only standard for purchasesan energy-saving and environmentally friendly product is more expensive than a standard alternative - whether its a simple light bulb or the house it shinesfor average consumers, even buying an ordinary bulb is a huge burdenhow can we persuade ordinary people to choose an energy-saving residence? this is not a trend they can afford to follow; perhaps this fashion is only for the richmost consumers today do not cause huge carbon dioxide （co2） emissionstheir responsibility lies not in choosing a low-carbon lifestyle today, but in avoiding a high-carbon life in the futurethe principle of common but differentiated responsibility - a basis of sustainable development - can be applied here as wellin china, low-carbon living still is resisted by a lack of social infrastructure（基础设施）. even if your salary allows you to make that choice, nobody is there to help you accomplish itconsider energy-saving homes. you need to find out whether or not the developer has used natural materials wherever possible; how effective the insulation（绝缘物、隔热物） is; and what the green credentials of installed equipment areyou can read up a little, but youll still be lucky to avoid being puzzled by the developers marketingmany so-called energy-saving buildings are nothing of the sort, and some are even more energy-hungry than the average home - as li taige warned in his article energy-efficient buildings? not always, on china dialogue last august【小题1】what may probably be the best title of this passage?a. to purchase a cheap bulb - your wise alternativeb. to choose an energy-saving residence - a must of your lifec. to learn a low-carbon lifestyle - each citizens responsibilityd. to learn a low-carbon lifestyle - a promising but difficult purpose【小题2】why does the writer say this fashion is only for the rich in the fourth paragraph?a. because the cost is a very important standard for purchases. b. because buying an ordinary bulb is very expensive. c. because energy-saving products are more expensive than the common alternatives.d. because rich people like to follow this trend.【小题5】 what is the writers attitude towards the low-carbon lifestyle?a. informative and entertaining b. supportive but cautiousc. negative but wise d. positive and active【答案】【小题1】d【小题2】c【小题3】d【小题4】c【小题5】bcyou feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. if you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then its likely you will burn out, or feel upset .when you take and take without giving anything back ,you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life. the way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values .i break values up into two groups which i call being and having values. your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. i suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. an example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. by acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by
