New research suggests that the type of television you watched as a child has a great effect on the color of your dreams. While almost all people under 25 dream in color, thousands of people over 55, all of whom were brought up with black and white TV sets, often dream in monochrome (黑白画面).

  “It suggests there could be a critical period in our childhood when watching films has a big impact on the way dreams are formed,” said Eva Murzyn, a psychology student at Dundee University in Britain who carried out the study.

  Research from 1915 through the 1950s suggested that the vast majority of dreams were in black and white. But the tide turned in the sixties, and later results suggested that up to 83 percent of dreams contained some color. Since this period also marked the transition (过渡) between black?and?white film and TV and Technicolor (特艺彩色), an obvious explanation was that the media had been painting people's dreams. However, there weren't any firm conclusions.

  But now Miss Murzyn believes she has proven the link. She made a survey of more than 60 people, half of whom were over 55 and the others under 25.She asked the volunteers to answer a questionnaire on the color of their dreams and their childhood exposure to film and TV.

  She then analyzed her own data. Only 4.4 percent of the under?25s' dreams were black and white. The over?55s who had had access to color TV and film during their childhood also reported a very low proportion of just 7.3 percent. But the over?55s who only had access to black?and?white media reported dreaming in black and white about a quarter of the time.

  Even though they would have spent only a few hours a day watching TV or films, their attention and emotion would have been heightened during this time, leaving a deeper imprint on their mind, Miss Murzyn told the New Scientist.

  The crucial time is between 3 and 10 when we all begin to have the ability to dream, she said.

1.Which statement does this article lead you to believe?

A.All the people who were below 25 dreamed in color.

B.People begin to dream when they are 10 years old.

C.All the people over 55 dream in monochrome.

2.Eva Murzyn found from her survey that ________.

A.about 44 percent of the people who were below 25 dreamed in black and white

B.the dreams people between 1915 and the 1950s had were seldom in color

C.the people over 55 spent 50% of their dream time dreaming in black and white

D.the time spent before TV and films had a deeper influence on dream color

3.Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?

A.Eva Murzyn is a professor at Dundee University in Britain.

B.The 1960s was a time which marked a transition in dream color.

C.The period between 3 and 10 is an important time in forming dreams.

D.Miss Murzyn thought she has proved the connection between dream color and TV and films.

4.In which magazine can you find the article?

A.Aging Healthily.        B.Psychology Analysis.

C.people's dreams and colors that they see in their life

The Best Holiday
I was unbelievably proud of my nine-year-old daughter, Emily.  36  to buy a mountain bike, she’d been saving her pocket money all year, as well as doing small jobs to earn extra money.
By Thanksgiving , she had collected only $49. I said, “ You  37 have your pick from my bicycle  38  ”. “Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so old. ” She was right. All my girls’ bikes were 1950s models, not the kind a kid today would   39 choose.
As Christmas  40 near, Emily and I went bike shopping . As we left one store, she  41 a Salvation Army volunteer standing next to a big pot. “Can we give something, Daddy?” She asked. “Sorry, Em, I’m out of   42    . ”
Throughout December, Emily continued to work hard. Then one day, she made a  43 announcement. “You know all the money I’ve been saving?” she said hesitantly. “I’m going to give it to the poor people.” So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of $58 to a volunteer who was really very  44   .

Why wasn’t I surprised when that second ticket proved to be the 52   ? I like to think it was God’s way of  53  a little girl for a sacrifice  54  her year--while giving her dad a lesson in the  55  .

But she did not give up and was determined that she never will.“Sometimes I wish I could stopbecause then the pain would be overbut I am afraid that if I let myself stop just onceI would be tempted(诱惑) to do it again.”Such doggedness draws admiration from Steve Trewthe sport’s director of coaching.“I’ve just been testing her fitness” he says, “and she worked so hard on the running machine that it finally threw her off and into a wall.She had given it everythingand she just kept on.”

Melanie was top junior in this year’s European Triathlon Championshipsfinishing 13th.“I was almost as good as the top three in swimming and runningbut much slower in cycling.That’s why I’m working very hard at it.” She is trying to talk her long?suffering parentswho will carry the 1,300 cost of her trip to New Zealand for this year’s world championshipsinto buying a 2,000 bikeso she can try 25km and 100km races later this year.

But there is another price to pay.“I don’t have a social life”she says.“After two hours’ hard swimming on Friday nightI just want to go to sleep.But I phone and write to the other girls in the team.” What does she talk aboutBoysClothes“Nowhat sort of times they are achieving.”
