    No form of thinking is more interesting than dreams. "Brain Wave"machines have shown that dreams last only two to ten seconds. Yetthey may tell a story that seems to take hours, or even days. Some dreams can be explained by feelings of the moment. A dry throat might   make us dream about the Sahara (撒哈拉) Desert. The sudden buzzing (翁翁响) of a flying thing might become an airplane. Dreams can tell   much more about people. Important dreams show our wishes or worries.Sometimes they are difficult to understand. An expert on dreams may find a struggle to get up a hill means that we are afraid that we   will not reach our aims(目标).He may say that our dream about flying without wings means that we are tired of struggling and want   to get away from it. Dreams of this kind are a normal way to ease (解除) our worries.

Anyone who ever wondered why a dying plant, say, a freshly-cut red rose may appeal to a lady friend, might take some comfort in science, which once again offers us a reasonable answer to one of the world’ s great mysteries.
Beyond a common preference in people for blue, “the long history of color preference studies has been described as ‘confusing and contradictory(矛盾的)’,” write scientists Anya Hurlbert and Yazhu Ling of England’ s Newcastle University, authors of a new study in the journal Current Biology. “This fact is perhaps surprising,” they said, “though the popularity of the concept that little girls differ from boys in preferring pink.”
But the scientists believe they have an answer to this scientific mystery, discovering women’s preference for red, hidden above the average liking for blue.
In their study, the pair quickly flashed color cards, displaying many different aspects, at 208 volunteers, mostly Britishers but with a number of Han Chinese, who moved to the United Kingdom recently. Tested in three different experiments, the researchers found out a small but significant preference for reddish colors in the female volunteers.
Puzzled, the authors realized that most of the difference between men and women came in the form of a preference for green VS red in the color cards, regardless of the other slight differences such as the slightly blue ones that everyone liked. Why might this be?
Evolution might offer an answer, they reason. Human color perception(感知), the assessment of three separate color types — red — green — blue— in our vision (视觉) is a relatively recent addition to our line of mammals(脯乳动物)
Adding weight to their argument, they found the women who are most typically feminine(女性的) on a psychological survey also had the biggest preference for reddish colors. “My love is like a red, red rose,” wrote the Scottish poet Rober Burns in 1794.
【小题1】What does the first paragraph probably tell us ?

C.Science can make our study interesting and contradictory.
D.We should turn to scientific invention for comfortable life.

     In my thirty years as a Time Management speaker, I have observed a lot of what we can and should
not do to increase our daily result. Time Management is not necessarily working harder, but quicker and
smarter. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are the top four Time
Management mistakes we should all avoid to help us to increase our daily success.
     a). Start your day without a plan of action. If so, you will have worked hard but may not have done
enough of right things. Time Management is not doing the wrong things quicker. Time Management is
doing the right things.
     b). Work with a messy(杂乱的) desk or work areas. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends one and a half hours per day looking for things. If you have ever visited the
office of a top manager, who is working with a clean desk environment, you will find that the manager
works effectively(有效地).
     c). Don't get enough sleep. Studies show that nearly 75% of us complain on a regular basis, all
throughout our days, that we are tired. For most people, they get the quantity of sleep, but they lack the
quality of sleep. Their days are filled with so much stress that they are out of control, working harder but
maybe not smarter, that it's difficult to get a full night's sleep.
     d). Don't take a lunch break. Many do not take a lunch break, working through that period in the
hopes that it will give them more time to produce results. Studies have shown it may work just the
opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, we start to feel tired. A lunch break, even short,
gives us a chance to get our energy back again.
1. The purpose of this passage is to __________.
A. show how to become a speaker
B. explain the importance of Time Management
C. persuade us to get rid of bad habits
D. tell us to avoid Time Management mistakes
2.  We may know from the passage that Time Management is about ____________ . 
A. how to deal with a lunch break
B. how to get the quality of sleep 
C. how to do right things quicker and smarter
D. how to avoid doing the wrong things
3. What can we learn from the passage?  
A. Working with a plan of action can save one and a half hours per day.
B. Studies have shown that most people work with a messy desk.
C. People can't get a full night's sleep mainly because of too much stress.
D. The longer a lunch break is, the more efficiently people will work.
4. The author holds the following opinions EXCEPT ____________.
A. Time waits for no man.
B. Good order leads to great success.
C. A year's plan starts with spring.
D. No rest, no work.
