Now and again I have had horrible dreams...

Now and again I have had horrible dreams, but not enough of them to make me lose my delight in dreams. To begin with. I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still and then, by some queer magic(神奇的魔力), wandering into another kind of existence. As a child, I could never understand why grown-ups took dreaming so calmly when they could make such a fuss(大惊小怪) about any holiday, This still puzzles me. I am puzzled by people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the subject. It is much more astonishing than it would be if they said they never went out for a walk. Most people do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives. They appear to see it as an irritating(令人困扰的) little habit, like sneezing or yawning(打哈欠).I can never understand this. My dream life does not seem as important as my waking life because there is far less of it, but to me it is important.

1.What is the author’s attitude toward dreaming?

A.He likes it                             B.He thinks it puzzling

2.For the author of the passage, dreaming is    .

A.an irritating little habit

B.a horrible but wonderful experience

C.a true reflection of reality

D.another kind of existence

3.The author of the passage suggests that people who say they never go out for a walk are    .

A.interesting        B.mysterious(难以理解的)                  C.foolish D.lazy

4.The author of the passage enjoys dreaming most     .

A.only when he was a child                 B.only when he is a grown-up

C.both as a child and as a grown-up           D.only in his old age

The man sitting opposite Robert was the Financial Controller. Everybody called him “the FC” for short. He made all the decisions about money. Robert needed some more. That was why he had to see him. The two men did not get on very well. In fact, they had always disliked each other.

“Your request is out of the question,” the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programmes.

“And why do you want to do that?” the FC asked sharply. Again, Robert almost lost his temper. “Because more and more people are listening to my department’s programmes. There’s great demand for them,” he answered.

The FC did not seem to believe him. But Robert had a report on the numbers of listeners to all EBC programmes. The FC became less confident. Robert threw the report down on the table and told him to read it.

The FC looked at it in silence. The figures (数字) proved that he had been wrong, but he did not want to admit it. “Well,” he finally said, “I may have made a small mistake.” Robert noticed the word “may.” He got up to leave. But he had the feeling that he would get the money after all.

A.without any question                    B.with some question

3.Robert decided to make more programmes because

A.he wanted to meet the needs of the listeners

B.“the FC” disliked him

C.the members of his department wanted him to do so
