    Many people think dreams are full of messages that may not be clear to us common people. But if we think about what is going on in our lives， we can usually come up with an answer. Let's look at some of the most common dreams. What are the meanings of these dreams?

    Falling

    You're falling， falling， falling… and then you wake up. This dream is said to mean you are in fear of something or worried about something. There may be something in your life that is out of control and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Another explanation is that you may experience failure in something. Maybe you're not doing well in school or work.

    Taking an exam (or forgetting that you have one)

    You suddenly realize you have to take an exam at that very moment. You might be running here and there to find your classroom. Scientists say this dream may mean you're being tested about something or maybe you are facing a challenge.

    Flying

    Dreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things. You are in control of the things that matter to you. It may also mean you have confidence in yourself and think no one and nothing can beat you.

    Trying to run， but going nowhere

    You're trying to run， but either of your legs won't move or you simply aren't going anywhere. Some scientists think this dream means you're trying to do too many things at once and can't catch up or move forward.

    In fact， unlike these dreams， there are also many strange dreams that scientists may not be able to explain.

Title： What do dreams {#blank#}1{#/blank#}?

    Have you ever counted the number of digits (数字) in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Why is that?

    The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider you are using. For example, 135 is for the China Mobile Communication Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you which area the number is recorded in. And the last four digits are random (随机的).

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999.

    Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers, according to the Xinhua News Agency. That's enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven't contacted (联络) for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.

    Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada's mobile phone numbers are perhaps the world's shortest: they use seven digits.

The story of the magazine

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    When you look at the different kinds of colorful magazines in the shops (and online) today, it's easy to think that they are a modern idea. However, magazines have been around since the 18th century and they have been an important part of people's daily lives for hundreds of years.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    One of the earliest magazines was The Gentleman's Magazine which was started in London in 1731 by a man called Edward Cave. He was the first person to use the word "magazine" about a regular publication. The word comes from the Arabic makhzan or storehouse. His idea was that his magazine was a storehouse, or place that you could keep information about many different things.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    Magazines became more popular in the 19th century. They gave people tips to help them with their daily lives, and they often had serialized(系列的) stories which gave the readers a new episode every week. Each part finished at a very exciting point in the story. Famous writers such as Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created serialized novels for magazines.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    One very important serialized novel was Hard Times by Dickens. It came out in 20 weekly parts between 1 April and 12 August 1854 in the magazine Household Words. This magazine was very good value and it was a cheap way for readers to buy a version of a novel.

    Soap operas on TV today are often similar to the serialized novels. These old stories have often been made into modern films or TV series and they are still popular with modern audiences because they are so exciting.

Mary: Hey, Alexis, I am glad you came over to my house to study for our coming Math exam. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I have gone over all my notes, but I am still not confident enough.

Alexis: Yes, this test is going to be hard. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} But I haven't had time to study the notes yet. Let's do a review together, starting from Chapter One (第一章). OK?

Mary: {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Let's do it!

Alexis: Well, do you remember what content (内容) was covered in the first chapter?

Mary: Yes, I think I do. The first chapter is about the quadratic function (二次函数). Is that right?

Alexis: Yes! You got it! Good job! {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Can you finish it in five minutes?

Mary: I don't know, Alexis! I am not good at writing quickly. I always have difficulties putting my thoughts on paper. I've worked hard to improve my math skills, but I still have a long way to go.

Alexis: I do not think that is your problem. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Things can get worse when you start to feel nervous.

Mary: Thanks for your advice. When we are done with this, I will test you on Chapter Two.

Alexis: Okay!
