    Passage 4
    From the world’s heaviest apple, the oldest lady to the world’s smallest dog, these are all parts of a group of the world’s strangest people and things. And they are all in the Guinness Book of Records(《吉尼斯记录》).
    The book is going to celebrate its birthday this August. It began exactly half a century ago. And it’s always one of the best selling books in the world.
    People now can break over 1000 records every week! Why do so many people want to break the records? Do they want their names in the book or meet more people around the world? “It gives people a chance to show they’re the best in the world.” said one of the record keepers Stewart Newport.
    The book was started by Hugh Beaver from Britain. In 1951, he went shooting birds and talked with his friends about the fastest bird in Europe. Three years later, they were still talking about it. So Beaver believed that people must have different ideas. So, he decided to start a book to record the world’s truly greatest people and things in it!
    The newest book came out last Tuesday. This book has a lot of interesting records. Here are two:
    ☆ A British dog, Whitney, is the world’s smallest dog. It’s only 76mm tall.
    ☆ An American woman Lee Redmond has the longest fingernails(指甲).They grew as long as 600 mm! She made the record in 1971.

    Everybody dreams. But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the senses—smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch.
    Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist(奥地利心理学家) Sigmund Freud believed people often dream about things they want but can’t have. Swiss(瑞士) psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams provide solutions to problems we face when we are awake.
    Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions(感情). Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry (心理学教授). He says that when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world. He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and desires(愿望).
    Scientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams. Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream.
    小题1:Dreams          . 
    A．are remembered by everyone
    B．express all that we think in our mind
    C．include few senses and things we touch
    D．include all the senses and things we touch
    小题2:In the passage, all the psychiatrists         .
    A．believe dreams can help people understand all the problems that they face
    B．believe when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world
    C．study dream and dreaming and have their own different ideas
    D．have the same idea that people often dream about the things they want
    小题3:Which would be the best title (标题) for the passage?
    A．The fact of DreamsB．The Ways of Dreams
    C．The Solutions to DreamsD．The Mystery of Dreams and Dreaming
