A study published in 1896 looked at different sensory (感官的) experiences in dreams. It found visual (视觉的) experience 1 controls ones dreams. It
14、 takes up about 85%, while auditory (听觉的) makes up 69%, and smell only 7%. But why? Now scientists have possible reasons based on what is known about the brain. In our brain, there is a special part called the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层). It is linked to our feelings. As much a s t w o - t h i r d s o f
15、t h e c e r e b r a l c o r t e x w o r k s i n v i s i o n ( 视 力 ) . S o v i s i o n 2 often in dreams. Auditory is closely tied to language, and language is processed entirely in the cerebral cortex. Smell, 3 , has little to do with the cerebral cortex. It connects directly into the memory and emo
16、tional systems. Thats why a smell can bring back a memory. Another 4 is that perhaps smell is not easily affected (影响) by our imagination. For example, close your eyes and imagine your favorite dish. What do you get? It is easy to think about what it looks like. But it is not as easy to imagine its
17、smell. Vision and auditory is a complex (复杂的) process inside the brain. But smell is a direct measurement (衡量) of the chemicals in the air. There is 5 imagination involved in smell. Therefore, smell might not be much affected by the brain activity during dreaming. It is 6 to taste and touch. That is
18、 why you dont often have the experience of taste and touch in your dreams. 1Ahardly Bfirstly Cmainly Dcompletely 2Afails Bappears Cchanges Denters 3Aof course Bfor the first time Cafter all Don the other hand 4Apossibility Badvantage Cfact Dchallenge 5Abetter Bless Cmore Dworse 6Akind Bused Cthankfu

Then she left in a hurry. What? Dance? Is that 1 ? I asked myself. Mary was not such a kind of girl. She was q
20、uite common one. I had never seen her wearing colorful clothes. In fact, she really did not know how to dress up. What a terrible thing! I should go to, I must go to. I thought. I arrived at the hall with the ticket, found my 2 and sat down. Her performance was the seventh one. I knew I would have a

I learned to use maths to solve real-world problems at this school; I wrote my first essay at this school and I have enjoyed every minute of my time here. However, I think that together we could make some 2 that would benefit o

Self-cleaning clothes may sound crazy. But Aust
31、ralian researchers have found a way to make something like this 1 ! A team at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, found a way to put special nanostructures (纳米结构) into clothing, which can then clean the clothes. When sunlight hits the nanostructures, they break down dirt. The nanostructures don
32、t break down the actual clothing because cotton and the other clothing materials are too strong to be 2 . According to CNN, the researchers covered the clothing in a solution made of silver and copper (铜) nanostructures. 3 it takes is 40 minutes of sunlight and your clothes will look as good as new.
33、 So if you spill on yourself during lunch, you can step outside for a walk, and it will be clean 4 the time you go inside. It not only makes your life easier, but can also be good for the climate. According to the US Department of Energy, the average load of laundry uses about 25 gallons (about 94 l
34、iters) of water. Water is a very important resource, so using 5 of it to wash clothes is better for the environment. So one of the scientists at RMIT University knows more needs to be done. Theres more work to do before we can start 6 our washing machines, said DiRajesh Ramanathan, but this is a str
35、ong foundation (基础). So whats the next step? Ramanathan wants to either start selling the solution by itself or convincing clothing makers to treat their clothing with the solution. 1Atrue Bpossible Cclose Dspecial 2Adestroyed Bdivided Cbroken Ddamaged 3AAll BEverything CSomething DThis 4Afor Bas Cb

Wonder why so many 1 girls own cats? Cat pe
37、ople love to spend time and live alone. They prefer to stay at home rather than party all night long. Dog lovers, 2 , enjoy the company and they have trouble living alone. 2Dog lovers seek companionship（伙伴关系） Many people adopt or buy dogs. One of the 3 is that they look for long-term companionship.
38、Dogs love the company and tend to spend more time with people than just sleep the whole day on the couch. Dog owners are the same. My friend, who is a big dog lover, says, The best thing about owning a dog is companionship: When I come home, my puppy comes to 4 me as if he has not seen me for ages.
39、3 Cat lovers tend to ignore rules Dogs are more obedient than cats. While it is extremely hard to make a cat to walk with you in the park or teach them to sit or lie down when needed, dogs do those things easily. The same goes for dog lovers - they 5 the rules and obey when needed. Cat people often
40、ignore the rules they do not like. 4Cat lovers are more 6 Cats lovers do not bother about a single life. They have enough strength to survive the hard times all alone and deal with any problem without any help. Without someone elses help.
