Dreams may be more important than sleep. Some people don't need much sleep. But we all need to dream, scientists say.

    Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.

    Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They could have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dream. Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can't remember the dream.

    Dreams can disappear quickly from memory. Too much dreaming can be harmful. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at working when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.

(1)、It may be less important to sleep than to _______.

A、think B、dream C、work D、study

    A computer program that could help catch and ever translates from aliens in outer space has been started by a British scientist.

    If aliens are discovered one day, scientists fear their language may make it possible to understand them. But John Elliott of needs Metropolitan University in Britain has come up with a program that can figure out the structure(结构)of their language. He thinks that's the first step in understanding what they are saying.

    Dr. Elliott's program would compare an alien language to a database (数据库)of 60 different languages in the world to look for a similar structure. He believes that even an alien language will have its own structure. Language has to be structured in a certain way, or it will be harder to use, he told New Scientist magazine.

    Research had shown that it is possible to know if a signal(信号)carries a language rather than a picture or music. Dr. Elliott has gone a step further by finding a way to pick out what might be words and sentences. Because languages have different word orders, Dr. Elliott has set up a library of the sentence structures of 60 human languages.

    If a message is received from outer space, it could be compared against this database. Scientist would then be able to see if ti's similar to any human language, or a mix of the language.

    However, Dr. Elliott also said that in order to translate what the aliens are actually saying, it may still be necessary to have a code book.
