Proficiency Test(40%)Read the following passage and answer the questions:Go to Bed; Get A Good Nights Dream1)Everybody talks about“ the dream I had last night. ” In fact, dr
22、eams and dream interpretationshave been acknowledged from the beginning of recorded history. Biblical Joseph interpreted a dream of Egypt s Pharaoh that saved the country from famine. Freud used dreams in an attempt to solve people s psychological troubles. Artists or writers Federico Fellini, John
23、Keats, AugustStrindberg, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ingmar Bergman, and Anais Nin have all used dreams in their works.2)“ Dreams are a vehicle for knowledge not open to the waking mind, ” declared Robert Abrams, University of Washington assistant professor of English, who taught a class on dreams andliter
24、ature last year.“ In some ways, our dreams may be smarter than we are,”he continued.“ Ourwakingconscious mind is culturallycontaminated, constricted” by things like media andcurrent morality.3)Nineteenth-century writers the Romantics were fascinated by dreams and encouraged people to look inward and
25、 be more receptive to irrationality, according to Abrams. They believed that the greatest minds should have a negative capability the ability to be in doubt, mystified, or uncertain without any irritable reaching after fact or reason.4)Ignoring the Romantics,20th-century psychologists, psychiatrists
26、, and doctors have come up with some startling facts about dreams: Everybody dreams every night(with few exceptions).Some don tremember. Everybody dreams in color; if awakened in the middle of a dream, you will report it in brillianttechnicolor, but if awakened 15-plus minutes after a dream, you may
27、 remember the dream, but in black and white. The more time that elapses after a dream, the more the color fades. Most people dream about 20 minutes out of every hour and one half. Dreams have been shown to take about as much time as events would take in waking life.3精品自学考 料推荐 A dream may last up to
28、20 minutes, or you could have several during the 20-minute dreamingphase. You dream more toward morning as you enter into lighter phases of sleep. Depressants like alcohol or barbiturates can suppress dream phases. Dream-deprived people become irritable, anxious, less tolerant in stressful andemotio
29、nal situations. During nightly dream phases, our eyes move although the lids are closed and our other muscles are relaxed.(This muscle relaxation tends to account for one of the common dreams everybody has the dream in which somebody or something chases or bears down on you and you feel unable to mo
30、ve, according to Dr.Neal Ely,University of Washington clinical professor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.)Watch for this rapid eye movement(REM) in people sleeping.If you wake them up during the REM phase, theyll have a dream to tell you. If you wake them up during a non-rapid-eye-movement pha
31、se, they will probably remember onlysomething vague or nothing at all.5)Everybody has some idea of the nature of his dreams, but what are the dreams of others like?Twomedical studies done in the United States by Drs.Calvin Hall and Fred Snyder proved that most peoples dreams are not very exciting; t
32、he majority of the dreams reported were of a familiar nature to the dreamer and quite reasonable.6)Dreams are not lonesome places, the studies show. In 95 percent of the dreams analyzed by Hall,another person besides the dreamer was present. Also, the majority of dreams included unpleasant emotions.
33、7)The question of what causes us to dream still has scientists scratching their heads. Dr.Ely felt thatwe may have dreams because we have needs that are unmet in our dailylives.Britishpsychologist Ann Farady, in her bookDream Power , sets forth a different reason. “ REM sleep isimportant for brain g
34、rowth and renewal, ”she says, citing studies that show that unborn babies in the month or two before birth may spend up to 80 percent of their total sleep in REM sleep.(It isjust before birth that the brain grows most rapidly.)Senile people and mentally defective people have little REM sleep, other
35、studies show.8)One hypothesis considered in Dr.Ernest Hartmann s book, The Functions of Sleep, is thatdreaming may be the major function of sleep and the role of sleep may be merely to allow a state such that dreams may emerge.9)In Sleep the Gentle Tyrant, author psychologist Wilse Webb notes three
36、main beliefs about dreams: dreams as another reality, dreams as omens, and dreams as reflections of waking life.The first belief occurs in people like the Eskimos of Hudson Bay or the Pantani Malay who claim that one leaves ones body during sleep and enters another world. The second belief is thatdr
37、eams have a prophetic nature: Pharaohs dream in the Old Testament caused him to stock up on food after Joseph interpreted his dream to mean seven fat years followed by seven lean years. And finally, dreams can be an “echo” of a point in the individual s waking world which is heard in the dream world
