     This is an old story. It was first told long ago. A rich man wanted to make a journey to another town. He
was a businessman. He wanted to take things to sell. He also wanted to take some gold to buy some things
with. He decided to take ten servants with him. They would carry the things to sell and the food to eat on the
journey.
     He was a kind man. He said to one of his servants, "You are the smallest, the thinnest and the weakest of
all my servants. You cannot carry a heavy load. You may choose the lightest load to carry."
     The servant thanked his master. He pointed to the biggest load. This was bread for them to eat on the
journey.

cheerfully and the journey began. They walked for four hours. Then they stopped for a rest. They all ate some

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

【小题3】When might a person daydream?

【小题4】How do we know if we are lucid dreaming?

A．We can remember the dream very clearly.
