Have you ever had lucid (清醒的) dreams? Recent studies suggest that the number of people having them is on the rise. Someone having a lucid dream realizes they are dreaming and may from then on" direct" the action, or they may simply " watch" the dream unfold. The sense of awareness (知道) makes it different from a dream that is simply very lively and true to life. And although the description may seem strange, the process is far from alien to many of us.

Studies suggest that the number of people in the Western world experiencing lucid dreams, which happen once in a while, has risen by between 10 and 40 per cent since the 1980s. Today, they are so common that about one in eight of us will have one in our lives. But still, little is known about what causes them or what is behind the rise.

Research carried out at the respected Harvard University in the US shows that the brain is working hard during lucid dreams. In fact, the level of the mental (精神

的) activity in some parts of the brain is similar to that of a person who is awake. Lucid dreamers seem to share certain personal characters. For example, in general they are quite creative. They are also good at digging deep into problems and going out of their way to solve them. Furthermore, they always believe in personal responsibility rather than letting society carry the can.

Our nightmares (噩梦) may show our waking worries, with the five most common ones-- falling, being run after, feeling disabled, being late and the death of a loved one. Men are more likely to have nightmares about fights or being fired while hair and tooth loss appear more in women's nightmares-perhaps showing worries about losing their looks. Research has also found that women have more nightmares than men. Their dreams are also scarier and more unforgettable.

 Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): 

Jean Paul Getty was born in 1892 in Minneapolis,Minnesota. He became a millionaire when he was only 24. His father was wealthy, but he did not help his son. Getty made his millions alone. He made his money from oil. He owned Getty Oil and over 100 other companies. A famous magazine on economy once called Getty "the richest man in the world.

But money ____    ____. He married five times and divorced(离婚) five times. He had five children but spent little time with them. None of Getty's children had very happy lives.

Getty loved to make money and loved to save it. Although he was very rich, he was still very mean. Every evening, he wrote down every cent he spent that day. He even put telephones in the guest' s bedrooms in his house, so he could save money on phone bills.

In 1973, kidnappers (绑匪) took his 16-year-old grandson for a large amount of money. Getty' s son asked his father for money to save his child, but Getty refused. The kidnappers were cruel and Getty' s son made repeated requests for help from his father. Finally, Getty agreed to lend him $1,000,000, but he needed an extra $50,000 more in return.

Getty started a museum at his home Malibu,California. He bought many important and beautiful pieces of art for the museum. When Getty died in 1976, the value of the collection in the museum was $1 billion. He left all his money to the museum. After his death, the museum grew in size. Today it is one of the most important museums in the United States. Getty made a lot of money in his life, but he gave all his money to the art world because he wanted people to learn about art and love it.

 阅读下列材料,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案 

These days, more and more people like the "city walk" around China. The city walk is a kind of city tour coming from the UK. It means tourists follow a planned route(路线)working deeply on the city's history and culture. During the traditional kind of travel, people need to follow a group of people. But city walk routes are special for every tourist. People probably choose a route on their own and move on foot without a purpose(目的). They can also talk with locals(当地人)and taste local food on their way. 

City walkers may be tourists from other places or local young people. For tourists, by taking part in a city walk, they can learn the city's history and culture. For the local young people, they may spend weekends knowing more about their living places. And they even share their routes and places online. So more people get interested in their cities and come to visit them. 

Now the city walk is very hot. However, we also find that to make money, some travel agencies(旅行社)may make some routes without understanding the culture and history of a city. That will make tourists lose interest in the city walk. What's more, many young people spend much time taking photos to just show themselves online.
