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 ive learned that when were 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, youll 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 were 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 collegea stressful decision.the dreams resurfaced when college graduation rolled_around four years later and im sure theyll 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.26we know from the text that those who

dream cdifferent people have different dreamsdit is important for us to understand the meaning of our dreamsbno one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the chinese and cuban womens teams.as we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling.when the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles as to what would come next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths.watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy.for more than that it provides food for thought.just see how the chinese women won the game by their cooperation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will.a chinese saying goes, “when two competent opponents (比赛的双方) meet, the strongminded one will win.” this is the spirit of the chinese womens volleyball team.if every chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clearminded in times of advantage (优势), then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the chinese womens volleyball team has done, is doing and will do.31while watching the game, we _.ahad different kinds of feelings benjoyed a friendly and wonderful game cclapped and cheered only for the chinese womens volleyball team dwere

members of the volleyball team dthe strongminded are the winnerscthere is no doubt that most of the readers will be students with little or no experience in reading poetry out loud, especially to such a large group.and we know that a poem will live or die depending on how it is read.the readers, by the way, should not read poems without getting any practice.they should be given their poems a few days in advance so that they have time to practice, maybe in the presence of a teacher.read the poem slowly.most young people speak quickly, and a nervous reader will tend to do the same in order to get the reading over with.reading a poem slowly is the best way to make sure that the poem will be read clearly and understood by its listeners.learning to read a poem slowly will not always make the poem easier to hear, however.a poem should not be read too slowly, and a good way for a reader to set an easy pace is to pause for a few seconds between the title and the poems first line.read in a normal, relaxed tone of voice.it is not necessary to give any of these poems a dramatic reading, as if from a stage.the poems selected are mostly written in a natural style and should be read in that way.let the words of the poem do the work.just speak clearly and slowly.obviously, poems come in lines, but pausing at the end of every line will create a choppy (起伏的) effect and interrupt the flow of the poem.readers should pause only where there is punctuation (标点), just as you would when reading prose (散文), only more slowly.36the passage mainly tells us _.athat we must read poems slowlybwhere to pause when reading a poemchow to use tones when reading a poemdhow to read a poem out loud37whats the best way to make sure that the poem will be clearly understood by its listeners?areading aloud.

read a poem, read it as slowly as possibleca nervous tone of voice is ok for the poetrydwhen you read the poetry, pause where the poet has shown youdfor all the dinner table, a glass of milk seems to be a constant, at least it was when i was growing up.it was widely believed that milk was integral in building strong bones and teeth.theres no doubt that dairy products (乳制品), and milk in particular, are high in protein and calcium, and most milk products are supplemented with vitamin d and a.while its well known that our bones need calcium, some studies suggest that high calcium intake doesnt necessarily lower a persons risk for fractures (骨折)a harvard study found that people who drank two or more glasses of milk had no greater protection from breaking a bone than those who drank a glass or less a week. theres no doubt that we need calcium.some antidairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to heart disease.much of this claim is based on high fat and high dairy products, like cheeses and creams, which may indeed contribute to cardiovascular (心血管的) problems.some studies have linked high milk intakes with a risk of prostate cancer (前列腺癌); this seems to be caused by highfat dairy products, not dairy in general.although milk was always regarded as one of the most important thing we need for our bones, yet least promoted factors involved in strengthening bones.perhaps we should think of dairy as less like a nutrient and more like a food.if you like it, eat it.if not, find some_others.because some claims may not be completely true, when i eat a cream, im not thinking about calcium, protein, or any such thing.im thinking delicious.41which of the following is true on the milk?athe more milk you drink, the more risk for fractures you might be.bthe more milk you drink, the less risk for fractures you might be.cthe less milk you drink, the less risk for fractures you might be.dthere is no link between how much milk you drink and how much risk for fractures you might be.42some antidairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to except _.a.cardiovascular problems bheart diseasecprostate cancer dstomach cancer43the underlined words “some_others” in the last paragraph refer to _.a.dairy products bmilk cfood dcream44which of the following sentences is true?a.the author doesnt like milk any more.bthe author used to drink milk as a child.cthe author regards milk as a
