     It was a dark and cold night. The taxi driver didn't have even one passenger all day. When he went by
the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he quickly opened the
door of the car and asked, "Where do you want to go, sir?"
     "To Star Hotel," the young man answered. When the taxi driver heard this, he didn't feel happy any more.
He knew the young man could give him only three dollars because the hotel was not far from the railway
station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the passenger through many streets of the big city.
     After a long time, the car arrived at the hotel at last."You should pay me fifteen dollars," the driver said to
the young man."What? Fifteen dollars! Do you think I'm a fool? Only last week, I took a taxi from the railway

It is a very common thing for a person to have a good friend. My good friend is Diana. She is a rich and proud girl. She often thinks that she is too good for anyone, so nobody wants to be her friend.

One day after school, I was waiting for Diana when Vivien came up to me. She gave me a biscuit. I accepted it. We talked and joked, and from then on, I began to spend more time with Vivien than with Diana. I felt a little uneasy.

After a few days, I went to see Diana for some snacks when Vivien came and sat with me. She offered me a sandwich. She also offered one to Diana, but Diana refused it. She walked away. I was angry with Diana for being so rude and thoughtless.

“Never mind,” Vivien said, “I’m used to it.

After school, I tried to catch up with Diana. While walking home, I tried to correct her attitude, but she would not listen to me. She said, “Go and join your ‘dear’ Vivien. I know you make new friends and forget the old ones.”

It is said that all dreams serve a purpose(目的). While there is no agreement among scientists about why we dream, there are many ideas about the different kinds of dreams we have.

One common kind of dream is the repeating dream, in which the same story is repeated again and again, often for many months or even years. Some believe these are a sign people have a problem in their life and once that problem is gone then the dream will stop. Others think they are a way to help people remember something very important.

Another well-known kind of dream is the nightmare. The pictures and stories in such dreams make people very afraid and dreamers usually remember them far more clearly than normal dreams. The cause of such dreams may be seeing something terrifying such as a car accident or some deadly snakes. Others think such dreams may be trying to make a person pay attention to something that is dangerous in their life.

Daydreams happen during wake-time when we forget where we are or what we are doing and find ourselves in a made-up story or unreal world. We often daydream when we are doing something that is not interesting or exciting. They help us think about our future.

Lucid dreams are the most fun. These happen when dreamers suddenly understand that they are dreaming. Instead of waking up, they stay in the dream and are able to control what happens in the dream as if they are making a movie.

1.The underlined word “they” (in paragraph 2) refers to “_________”.

A.dreams

B.problems

C.dream

D.scientists

2.The underline word “terrifying” (in paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _________.

A.frightening

B.interesting

C.disappointing

D.amazing

3.When might a person daydream?

A.During a very interesting movie.

B.While playing at a fun park.

C.While listening to an uninteresting talk.

D.When making a movie.

4.How do we know if we are lucid dreaming?

A.We can remember the dream very clearly.

B.We can control what happens in the dream.

C.We think that the dream is like a movie.

D.We feel very nervous after we wake up.

5.What is the best title of the passage?

A.Daydream of You

B.Enjoy Your Dream

C.What Dreams Mean

D.Where Dreams Go
