Now and again I have had horrible dreams, but not enough of them to make me lose my delight in dreams. To begin with. I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still and then, by some queer magic(神奇的魔力), wandering into another kind of existence. As a child, I could never understand why grown-ups took dreaming so calmly when they could make such a fuss(大惊小怪) about any holiday, This still puzzles me. I am puzzled by people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the subject. It is much more astonishing than it would be if they said they never went out for a walk. Most people do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives. They appear to see it as an irritating(令人困扰的) little habit, like sneezing or yawning(打哈欠).I can never understand this. My dream life does not seem as important as my waking life because there is far less of it, but to me it is important.

Thirty years ago not many people would have dreamed of doing the repairs and decorations in their own homes. In those days labor was fairly cheap and most people would have thought it worthwhile to employ a professional painter and decorator, unless of course they were either very hand up or were in the trade themselves. Today, however, it is quite a different story. Men and women in all walks of life turn their hands to all sorts of jobs round the house including painting, papering, putting up shelves and wall units, and tiling walls and floors. Some people with no professional training of any kind have even successfully built their own houses. These jobs have been made easier today by the introduction of prepared materials, which require the minimum amount of skill to use. In every high street throughout Britain nowadays there is at least one “Do-it-Yourself” shop containing a vast range of timber, tiles, paints, wallpapers and floor coverings besides tools of every description including power drills and many accessories. “Do-it-Yourself” is a booming business; all these shops do a roaring trade and look like continuing to do so. Probably the main reason for the craze is the high cost of present-day labor and the shortage of building firms willing to do small jobs.
1. Why did people employ professional workers to decorate homes thirty years ago?
A.Because they could not do it themselves.
B.Because professional workers were very cheap.
C.Because they had no time.
D.Because professional workers could do much better.
2. Thirty years later what changes took place?
A.People could do everything themselves.
B.Few people chose to be a professional worker
C.People with no professional training successfully built their own houses.
D.New expensive materials required no skills at all.
3. What caused the DIY craze?
A.Young people liked to follow the fashion.
B.“Do-it-Yourself” is a booming business.
C.There were fewer building companies.
D.High cost of professional workers.
4.What is the speaker telling us?
A.How DIY comes into being.
B.Changes in building.
C.Changes in housing.
D.Great changes in these thirty years.

In the past industries had more freedom than they have now,and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them;often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes.Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore.At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries;however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the US, for example, there is a department which takes charge of new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell.A third department looks at the places where people work,and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course,new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness,but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.

Ever since I was old enough to dream,I have imagined myself flying with the eagles.My love of flying has shaped the way I live and the person I have become.Two years ago that passion rocketed to new heights when I visited Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona.For a whole week I lived in a college dorm,roomed with a total stranger,and best of all,I flew!
My group took part in activities from learning about the history of aviation(航空)to flying in pilot training simulators(模拟器).At least once a day,I was lost in one of the world's best training aircraft,the Cessna 182.I received thorough ground instruction,and also got to fly.In total,I flew five hours toward receiving my private pilot's license.In that joyous week,my passion for aviation grew even stronger.Now,whenever I see a plane flying overhead, I feel a sense of pride,thinking I've done that.
During my time above the Arizona desert,I learned not only about the mechanics and techniques of aviation,tout also about myself and how I see the world.Floating in that seemingly endless sea of air,I became aware of the variety and the complexity of the humanity below.On the ribbons of roadways,each tiny car carried people with hopes and ambitions.I wondered if any of them had ever wished to fly like an eagle.I realized they must have their own strong desire.That's what makes us unique.We always try to respond to something special inside us.I also realized that I was especially fortunate to be making my own dream come true.
Everywhere I go,I hear,"Do what makes you happy,and you will be happy."It sounds like standard advice,but I've really thought about it and taken it to heart.I couldn't care less about what benefits I receive.I know I am already in hot pursuit of my dreams.Even if they change,and even if they finally don't involve aviation,I'll always aim to fly with the eagles.
1.What made the author successful?
A. His practice. B. His love for flying.
C. His imagination. D. His roommate.
2.According to the author,what makes people unique?
A. Flying like an eagle. B. Trying something special.

B. He will do what benefits him most.
C. He always dreams of flying again in the future.
D. He will still run after his dream whatever the situation.
