When I was in high school, I had a recurring(反复的) dream of my teeth falling out. I dreamt about my teeth just about every night for at least three weeks. Sometimes they would fall out one at a time, sometimes all at once. I became terrified that my dreams meant I would actually lose my teeth. Nine years later and about a million trips to the dreams, I still have a full set of teeth, but I’ve learned that when we’re experiencing stress in our lives, it tends to show up in our dreams as well．
Miller says losing teeth indicates burdens that crush your pride. If your teeth are knocked out, you’ll have sudden misfortune． Other explanations for dreams about lost teeth are that the dreamer is feeling powerless in life and may be in a transitional（过度的） period from one situation of life to another. Some experts believe that dreams of losing teeth today show we’re just as insecure and uncertain as we were in childhood．
When I dreamt about my teeth back in high school, I was trying to choose a college— a stressful decision． The dreams resurfaced when college graduation rolled around four years later and I’m sure they’ll start again when I graduate．
A little of stress in our everyday lives is normal. But sometimes it becomes such a regular occurrence in our lives that it influences our dreams and causes us to lose valuable sleep. Understanding our dreams is key to identifying and ending stress in our waking hours and restoring peace to our nighttime hours．

than what you see. Free from the restriction (限制, 约束) of the conscious mind, they can be useful in finding
your character and personality, and many of your secret hopes, ambitions, fears, and dreams.
Faces are a sign of sociability or lack of it. If you doodle happy, smiling faces, you have a friendly,
out-going disposition which people respond to, and you enjoy an active social life. If your faces are bad, this
may mean hating others. Faces looking to the right are sign of outgoing personality and confident expectation
about the future while to the left, a sign of shyness and self-control.
Bare or narrow trees show a lack of warmth. You've probably been disappointed in life or could even be
suffering from a minor illness that needs attention.
If you build a house in layer(层), each layer separate, you could be too proud, too eager to make your loved
ones follow your order and jump to attention. A little untidiness in a house makes the people feel comfortable,
safe and happy.
If your doodle looks like a web, you are making a cry for help in solving a problem. You feel trapped, and
are seeking a way out; perhaps you even want to travel, try out new ideas and realize your ambitions. But you
lack confidence to step out into the World on your own because of the web you've created around you.

Some years ago I took on a task in a southern county to work with people on public welfare. What I
wanted to do was to show that everybody has the capacity to be self sufficient and all we have to do is to activate（激励）them. I asked the country to pick up a group of people who were on public welfare,
people from different racial groups and different family groups. I would then see them as a group for three
hours every Friday. I also asked for a little petty cash to work with, as I needed it.
The first thing I said after I shook hands with everybody was, “I’d like to know what your dreams
are.” Everyone looked at me as if I were kind of fool.
One woman said to me, “I don’t know what you can do with dreams. The rats are eating up my
kids.”
“Oh,” I said, “That’s terrible. No, of course, you are very much involved with the rats and your
kids. How can that be helped?”
“Well, I could use a new screen door because there are holes in my screen door.” I asked, “Is there
anybody around here who know how to fix a screen door?”
There was a man in the group and he said, “A long time ago I used to do things like that but now I
have a terribly bad back, but I’ll try.”
I told him I had some money if he would go to the store and but some screening and go and fix the
lady’s screen door. “Do you think you can do that?”
“Yes, I’ll try.”
The next week, when the group was seated. I said to the woman, “Well, is your screen door fixed?”
“Oh, yes.” she said.
“Then we can start dreaming, can’t we?” she sort of smiled at me.
I said to the man who did the work, “How do you feel?”
He said, “Well, you know, it’s very funny thing. I’m beginning to feel a lot better.”
That helped the group to begin to dream. These seemingly small successes allowed the group to see
that dreams were not insane. These small steps began to get people to see and feel that something really
could happen.
Everyone found something. The man who put in the screen door became a handyman. In 12 weeks, I
had all those people off public welfare. I’ve not only done that once, I’ve done that in many times.
B．Everyone should not have depended on public welfare.

It’s not entirely true that kids learn a second language easily, but it’s still the best time to learn. Babies are basically equipped to hear and distinguish every possible language and dialect, but once they reach 6 months old, they begin to focus on the particular sounds that exist in the languages that they’re exposed to. In this way, kids will naturally and automatically be bilingual(双语的) if they hear multiple languages on a daily basis when they are still babies..
One lady told me of her son who grew up in a very multi-cultural community working at a resort. He would naturally and easily switch from Dutch, to French, to Italian, German and English depending on who he was talking to. Of course that’s an extreme case, but it’s completely possible and easy.
It’ s not true that they will get mixed up by learning multiple languages. They may mix them up purposely simply because certain words or expressions are easier, but they won’t develop any permanent language disabilities. Quite the contrary, bilingual children have been shown to be as much as a year more advanced in learning ability development for 2 and 3 years olds.
Some kids who simply aren’t gifted at learning languages, just as some aren’t gifted at sports or music, will find it difficult to continue schooling in a foreign language. In that case, it may be better not to continue with the foreign language school. Still, it will have been an excellent opportunity for Grade One. Perhaps for Grade Two you could try a bilingual school.
In any case, learning even a small amount of a foreign language, maintaining the ability to hear and pronounce it by listening to music and movies will keep a foundation for later learning. Knowing a second language can be a great benefit for gaining employment.
1.What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. It’s difficult for kids to learn a second language.
B. Kids are able to learn multiple languages.
C. Kids should be exposed to the native language.
D. Kids enjoy all kinds of different dialects.
2.What did the lady tell us about her son?
A. He could speak five kinds of languages.
B. He was learning some different languages.
C. He could talk with many people at the same time.
D. He was working in a multi-community.
3.In which way can learning multiple languages benefit kids according to the text?
A. Mixing up different languages.
B. Distinguish different dialects.
C. Developing learning ability.
D. Developing language disabilities.
4.What should you do if your kids are not good at learning language?
A. Ask them to turn to sports or music.
B. Encourage them to remain in Grade One.
C. Let them remain in the foreign language school.
D. Send them to a bilingual school later.
