25、g was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded.I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “
26、I can t believe what s printed in the newspaper this morning, ” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading.This is how ever
27、yone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf, “ I knew where the candy was
28、. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to m
29、ake A s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.Yet, now that I m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming
30、more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using
31、when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.We re taught to read because it s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.1. Why did the auth

35、g world5. What could be the best title for the passage?A.The Magic of ReadingB.The Pleasure of ReadingC.Growing Up with ReadingD.Reading Makes a Full Man? Why do we dream? It s a question researchers have been studying for years. Now new research suggests that some dreams may result from the brain s
36、 effort to keep learning, even as we sleep.In a study in Boston, 100 volunteers were trained for an hour on a maze （迷宫）.They tried to find their way through the difficult puzzle as quickly as possible. Then half of the volunteers were allowed to sleep for 90 minutes. The other half stayed awake, rea
37、ding or relaxing. The ones who slept were asked to describe their dreams when they woke up.After the rest, the volunteers were asked again to solve the maze. Those who hadn t slept showed no improvement or did even worse after the break. Sleepers who didn t report any maze-related dreams did better
38、but showed only a little improvement. However, 4 naptakers who reported dreaming about maze showed a surprising improvement. They scored 10 times higher after sleeping and dreaming about the maze.Even though the number of dreamers was small, the researchers noted that the gap in learning between the dreamers and the nondreamers was so wide that the finding was significant.The dreamers had all performed poorly on the test before dreaming about it. That suggests that struggling with a task might be the trigger that leads the sleeping brain to focus on it and work on how to deal with it.
