Have you ever been at a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and always have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.
“On the contrary,” says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology, “daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day. You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious（有意识）mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues.”
Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, “We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures. Daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life.”
Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. It’s easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and find out a possible way of dealing with them.
Daydreams cannot be predicated（预料）. They move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.
1.The writer of this passage considers daydreams ________.
A．hard to understand B．important and helpful
C．harmful and unimportant D．the same as sleep dreams
2.The writer quoted（引用）L. Giambra and Eric Klinger to ________.
A．point out the wrong ideas of early experts B．list two different ideas
C．support his own idea D．report the latest research on daydreams
3.Which of the following is TRUE?
A．An unconscious mind can work all the problems out.
B．Daydreaming can give artists and scientists ideas for creation.
C．Professor Eric Klinger has a better idea than L. Giambra.
D．Early experts fully understood what daydreams were.
4.What is the main difference between daydreams and sleep dreams?
A．People have daydreams and sleep dreams at different times.
B．Daydreams are the result of unconscious mind while sleep dreams are that of conscious
mind.
C．Daydreams are more harmful. D．Daydreams are more helpful in solving problems.

Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us from earlier school days have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.
“ On the contrary,” says L.Giambra, an expert in psychology（心理学）, “ daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day… .
You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious（有意识的） mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one way that the unconscious states of minds have silent dialogues.”
Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illness. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming.

Daydreams cannot be predicted; they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.
So the next time you catch yourself daydreaming, don’t stop. Just pay attention to your dream. It may be more important than you think.
1.In what way are daydreams different from sleep dreams?
A．Daydreams help to develop an unconscious mind.
B．Daydreams are not so easy for us to control and direct.
C．Daydreams help us to handle more difficult situations
D．Daydreams are easier for us to understand.

Have you ever imagined the benefits that a good memory can bring to you? 1. Here are four ways to improve your memory.
2. There is evidence that sleep plays a vital role in the consolidation of memories relating to learning motor skills, such as learning to play a musical instrument or ride a bike. Having a full night’s sleep soon after gaining a new skill helps consolidate the processes involved, so they can later be performed well.
It’s rewarding to continue education. Older people are often told to adopt a “use it or lose it” approach to maintaining cognitive (认知的) function. 3. In a 2016 study, US researchers found participants aged 60-90 who spent 15 hours a week for three months learning a complex skill, such as digital photography, saw significant improvements in memory tests.
Taking a break counts. 4. More than a century ago, German scientists showed that people performed almost twice as well in memory tests if they took breaks.
It’s useful to stay social. Having an active social life delays memory loss as we age, US scientists who asked people in their 50s and 60s to do memory tests every other year between 2001 and 2007 found the decline in recall abilities of their most sociable subjects to be half that of the least well connected. 5.
A. Sleeping well helps strengthen memories.
B. Old people should participate in easy activities
C. Yoga, meditation or other relaxation techniques may help.
D. Memories can be destroyed if the brain doesn’t have enough rests to sharpen them.
E. In fact, when it comes to memory, research suggests that only certain types of mental activities help.
F. Being able to remember important pieces of information can give you a powerful advantage in your life.
G. Having good friends, volunteering for charities and other forms of social engagement also protect memory.
