12.What can you do to recall your dreams more often and interpret them more clearly? The expertsoffer these suggestions: Develop an idea. Before you go to sleep, consciously think about a topicor a person you’d like to dream about. Raise a question that’s troubling you and see how yourdream responds to it. Keep track. Next to your bed, place a pen and some paper, or a tape recorderor a laptop(笔记本电脑) , to record your dreams as soon as you wake up. Try to wake up naturally,without the help of an alarm clock or barking dog that can interrupt your dream cycle. If yourschedule doesn’t allow you to sleep in during the week, begin your dream journey on a weekendor during a vocation. Wake up slowly. For the first moment after you wake up, lie still and keepyour eyes closed, because your dream may be connected to your body position while you slept.Try to recall the dream and then store it in your memory by giving it a name like “Late for an Exam”or “My Dare with Ashley Judd” when you rise, immediately wrote down as many images, feelingand impressions as you can. Connect the dots. To better interpret your dreams, try to makeconnection between your recalled dreams and recent events. Do you recognize people from thepresent or past? Can you detect any themes from the dream? Look for partners over severaldreams that might help explain an individual dream. Change the outcome. If you have nightmareshappening again and again that make it different to sleep, try to change the endings. Once youwake up from a bad dream, imagine a change in the action to create more positive outcome. If youare trapped, try to fly. In your dream, you can do what you want!In which column of a magazine or newspaper may the article appear?

Passage Four

I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At young age you ought to be growing away from you parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.

But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are a1l taking the same way of snowing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out on their own，most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.

They say they want to dress as they please，but all of them wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music ，but all of them end up huddled round listening to the same record.Their reason for thinking or acting in this and that way is that the crowd is doing it. (84)It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. These days every teenager can 1earn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today ’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. (85)All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don ’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well ，go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-will the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.The author ’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell _____.

Passage ThreeOn a dry and cold Friday afenoon last October, Sharon Seline exchanged text messages with her daugher who was in college. They“chatted”back and forh, with the mom asking how things were going and the daugher answering psitively flowed by enotions (表情符) showing smils, b-i-g smiles and hearts.Later that night, her daughter attempted suicide.In the days that followed, it came to light that she' d hidden herself in her dorm, crying andshowing signs of depression- a completely different reality from the one that she conveyed in text and Facebook posts.As human beings,our only real method of connection is through real communication.Studies show that only7% of communication is based on writing and spraking.The majority of 93% is based on body language.Indeed,it’s only when we can heard a tone of voice or look into someone’s eyes that we’re able to know when“I'm fine" doesn't mean they' re fine all.This is where social media gets risky.With modem technology，anyone can hide beind the text,the e-mail,or the Facebook post,projecting any image they want and creating a false image of their choosing.They can be whoever they want to be .And without the ability to receive body language,their audiences are none the wiser. This presents a paradox which doesn’t exist before.With all the power social technologiesat our fingertips, we are more connected- and potentially more disconnected- than ever betore.Every relevant metric (衡量标准) shows that we are interacting at a great speed and frequency through social media. But are we really communicating? With 93% of our communication context (语境)lost, we are now attempting to establish relationships and make decisions based on phrases or emoticons,which may or may not accurately represent the truth.What is the best title for the passage

Passage TwoThe great advance in rocker theory 40 years ago shows that liquid-fuel rockets were far superior in every respect to the skyrocket with its weak solid fuel. However, during the decade, large solid-fuel rockets with solid fuels about as powerful as liquid fuels have made their appearance, and it is a favorite layman ’s question to 19 inquire which one is ―better‖. The question is meaningless. One might as well ask whether a gasoline or a diesel engine is ―better‖. It all depends on the purpose, a liquid-fuel rocket is complicated, but has the advantage that it can be controlled beautifully. The burning of the rocket engine can be stopped completely: it can be reignited when desired. In addition, the thrust can be made to vary by adjusting the speed of the fuel pumps. A solid-fuel rocket, on the other hand, is rather simple in construction, though hard to build when a really at very short notice. A liquid-fuel rocket has to be fueled first and cannot be held in readiness for very long after it has been fueled. (82)However, once a solid-fuel rocket has been ignited, it will keep burning. It cannot be stopped and reignited whenever desired and its thrust cannot be varied. Because a solid-fuel rocket can be kept ready for a long time,most military employ solid fuels, but manned space-flight needs the fine adjustments that can only be provided by liquid fuels. It may be added that a liquid-fuel rocket is an expensive device; a large solid-fuel rocket is, by comparison, cheap. But the solid fuel, pound per pound, costs about 10 times as much as the liquid fuel. So you have, on the one hand, an expensive rocket with a cheap fuel and on the other hand a comparatively cheap rocket with an expensive fuel.The author feels that a comparison of liquid-fuel and solid-fuel rockets shows that _______.
