have been a pathway to creativity and discovery. a striking example is provided by dr. otto loewi, a winner of a nobel prize. loewi had spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses (脉搏). a great breakthrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row. the first two nights he woke up and wrote down the experiment quickly and untidily on paper. but the next morning, he couldnt tell what the notes meant. on the third night, he got up after having the dream. this time, instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the important experiment. loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it.loewis experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions. nervous feelings are reduced during dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view.being able to take advantage of dreams for solving is improved if you “set” yourself before retiring. before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve. bury yourself in the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information. then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams. although this method is not guaranteed to produce a novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure. about half of a group of college students using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem.1. the main idea of this passage is that _.a. very little is really known about the meaning of dreamsb. it is possible to “catch” ones dreams by planning before going to sleepc. dreams can be useful in producing creative solutions to ones problemsd. loewis experiment helped in the study of transmission of nerve impulses2. the first paragraph is mainly organized by _.a. classifying types of experiments b. summarizing the work of one researcherc. comparing and exploring historical cases d. telling in time order about one mans research3. if loewi had thought of the experiment while awake, he would have _.a. asked someone else to do it b. thought it was a bad ideac. tried it out on his own d. thought it was a wise idea4. according to the passage, the author seems to be in favor of _.a. seeking creative solutions b. avoiding scientific experimentsc. nervous feelings before dreamsd. becoming a famous scientistbit often happens that a number of applicants（申请人）with almost the same qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. in their educational background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates（候选人）. how then does the employer make a choice? usually on the basis of an interview.there are many arguments for and against the interview as a way of selection. the main argument against it is that it results in a wholly subjective decision. as often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate. they choose the candidate who makes a good first impression on them. some employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a good assessment of each candidates likely performance. the main argument in favor of the interview is that an employer is concerned not only with a candidates ability, but with his or her suitable personality for the particular work situation. many employers, for example, will overlook occasional mistakes from their secretary if she has a pleasant personality.it is perhaps true to say, therefore, that the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the things that are hard to measure, such as personality, character and social ability. unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants for jobs, there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well. there are also, of course, people who interview extremely well, but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees. candidates who interview well tend to be quietly confident, but never boastful（自夸的）; direct and straightforward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic. candidates who interview badly tend to be either very shy or over-confident. they either talk too little or never stop talking. they are either over polite or a bit rude.5. people argue over the interview mainly because they have different _.a. purposes in the interviewb. experiences in interviewsc. standards of selectiond. procedures of selection 6. the underlined word “subjective” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_”.a. pe
