This Way to Dreamland Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing． Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them． They can seem forgetful and clumsy．_1._They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things．
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history． __2._ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others． Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams．__3._ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings．
It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concerntrate． “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep．__4.__
Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away．___5._
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds．
A． Having interesting things to think about also helps．
B． They stare off into space and wander by themselves．

D． At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses．
E． It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive．
F． Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand．
G． Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream zone．

Life in the Clear Transparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window．These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet—as far as most light can reach．Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch．Sonke Johnsen,a scientist in biology,says,“These animals live through their life alone．They never touch anything unless they’re eating it,or unless something is eating them．”
And they are as clear as glass．How does an animal become see-through?It’s trickier than you might think．
The objects around you are visible because they interact with light．Light typically travels in a straight line．But some materials slow and scatter(散射)light,bouncing it away from its original path．Others absorb light,stopping it dead in its tracks．Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it,so you can see it easily．
But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light,at least not very much．Light can pass through it without bending or stopping．That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water．You don’t see it—you see the things behind it．
To become transparent,an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light．Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素)that absorb specific colors of light．But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments,so its tissues won’t absorb light．According to Johnsen,avoiding absorption is actually easy．The real challenge is preventing light from scattering．
Animals are built of many different materials—skin,fat,and more—and light moves through each at a different speed．Every time light moves into a material with a new speed,it bends and scatters．Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering．Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat．Without much tissue to scatter light,it is easier to be see-through．Others build a large,clear mass of non-living jelly-like(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it．
Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge,because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does．They need to look uniform．But how they’re doing it is still unknown．One thing is clear for these larger animals,staying transparent is an active process．When they die,they turn a non-transparent milky white．
1.According to Paragraph 1,transparent animals ．
A． stay in groups
B． can be easily damaged
C． appear only in deep ocean
D． are beautiful creatures
2.The underlined word“dead”in Paragraph 3 means ．
A． silently
B． gradually
C． regularly
D． completely
【小题3One way for an animal to become transparent is to ．
A． change the direction of light travel
B． gather materials to scatter light
C． avoid the absorption of light
D． grow bigger to stop light
3.The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals ．
A． move more slowly in deep water
B． stay see-through even after death
C． produce more tissues for their survival
D． take effective action to reduce light spreading
