    60．The author wrote the passage to tell us that ? A．He wanted to show us his strange dreams． B．He tried to explain why we dream． C．Different people have different dreams D．It is important for us to understand the meaning of our dreamsBFor all the dinner table, a glass of milk seems to be a constant , at least it was when I was growing up．It was widely believed that milk was integral in building strong bones and teeth. There’s no doubt that dairy products, and milk in particular, are high in protein and calcium, and most milk products are supplemented with Vitamin D and A．While it’s well known that our bones need calcium, some studies suggest that high calcium intake doesn’t necessarily lower a person’s risk for fractures． A Harvard study found that people who drank two or more glasses of milk had no greater protection from breaking a bone than those who drank a glass or less a week． There’s no doubt that we need calcium, Some anti-dairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to heart disease． Much of this claim is based on high fat and high dairy products, like cheeses and creams, which may indeed contribute to cardiovascular problems． Some studies have linked high milk intakes with a risk of prostate cancer; this seems to be caused by high-fat dairy products, not dairy in general．Although milk was always regarded as one of the most important thing we need for our bones, yet least promoted, factors involved in strengthening bones． Perhaps we should think of dairy as less like a nutrient and more like a food. If you like it, eat it． If not, find some others． Because some claims may not be completely true, when I eat a cream, I’m not thinking about calcium, protein, or any such thing. I’m thinking delicious． 【查看更多】

    Michael Jordan told me not to mention this until the season was over and I promised him at that time. Now I think it’s time.

    Early last season, I wrote a column about an act of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the Stadium. After it ran ,I got a call from a man in the western suburbs. He said, “I read what you wrote about Jordan, but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw.” Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.

    A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Has Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty neighborhood?

    “Not two boys,” Jordan said, “but four.”

    And he named them. He said four names.

    And what did they talk about?

    “Everything,” Jordan said. “I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check whether they’re paying attention to their schoolwork. If it turns out one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it.”

    It’s just one more part of Michael Jordan’s life, one more thing that no one knows about, one more thing Jordan does right. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do I! When the expert reviewers begin to turn against Jordan, as they surely will, I’ll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come, for someone they can depend on.

    1.That man called after reading about what Jordan did to a disabled child because he wanted to ____.

    A．become famous himself

    B．know why Jordan appeared in a poor area

    C．let the author know that Jordan was not that nice

    D．offer another example to show that Jordan was a nice man

    2.What can we learn from this passage?

    A．Jordan is not such a great person.

    B．Jordan deserves the admiration he had from others.

    C．Jordan is always ready to make friends with young people.

    D．Jordan is always misunderstood by expert reviewers.

    3.What does the underlined word “ran” probably mean?

    A．Published.         B．Finished.          C．Disappeared.       D．Drove

    4. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the author wrote this passage? 

    A．He would like to keep the promise he had made.

    B．He thought it was time to help the disabled children.

    C．He hated to see Jordan become someone else’s target.

    D．He was impressed by Jordan’s deeds for the ordinary poor.

    5. What’s the purpose of the writer writing the passage?

    A．to show us the life of Jordan

    B．to tell us everybody will make mistakes including Jordan

    C．to criticize Jordan

    D．to defend Jordan against attack

    When I was in high school, I had a recurring(反复的) dream of my teeth falling out. I dreamt about my teeth just about every night for at least three weeks. Sometimes they would fall out one at a time, sometimes all at once. I became terrified that my dreams meant I would actually lose my teeth. Nine years later and about a million trips to the dreams, I still have a full set of teeth, but I’ve learned that when we’re experiencing stress in our lives, it tends to show up in our dreams as well．

    Miller says losing teeth indicates burdens that crush your pride. If your teeth are knocked out, you’ll have sudden misfortune． Other explanations for dreams about lost teeth are that the dreamer is feeling powerless in life and may be in a transitional（过度的） period from one situation of life to another. Some experts believe that dreams of losing teeth today show we’re just as insecure and uncertain as we were in childhood．

    When I dreamt about my teeth back in high school, I was trying to choose a college— a stressful decision． The dreams resurfaced when college graduation rolled around four years later and I’m sure they’ll start again when I graduate．

    A little of stress in our everyday lives is normal. But sometimes it becomes such a regular occurrence in our lives that it influences our dreams and causes us to lose valuable sleep. Understanding our dreams is key to identifying and ending stress in our waking hours and restoring peace to our nighttime hours．

    56．We know from the text that those who dreamt about lost his teeth indicates that________．

    A．They will have sudden misfortune．

    B．They are feeling powerless in life

    C．They are as insecure and uncertain as they were in childhood

    D．They are experiencing stress in their lives

    57．How many different kinds of explanations are mentioned in the text about losing teeth?

    A．Two                      B．Three              C．Four             D．Five

    58．The underlined expression “rolled around” means_______

    A．came about     B．came down      C．came near       D．rolled out

    59．We can infer from the text that___________．

    A．Our dream can reflect what we go through in our real life．

    B．Dreams can damage our valuable sleep．

    C．We only dream when we are under great pressure．

    D．Our dreams can show us what will happen in the future．

    60．The author wrote the passage to tell us that______.

    A．He wanted to show us his strange dreams．

    B．He tried to explain why we dream．

    C．Different people have different dreams

    D．It is important for us to understand the meaning of our dreams
