你做梦吗？
1 梦，我们为什么会做梦？梦有意义吗？真的有梦中所见的事成为现实这种事吗？几千年来这些问题一直让人们感兴趣。过去几十年的科学发展对睡眠的自然过程有了较多的认识，然而对于与梦有关的诸多问题依然没有提供最终的答案，这些问题还要继续困惑我们。2 人人都做梦——只不过有些人不记得做过梦罢了。人类脑电波的记录显示我们所有人入睡后就进入梦境。整个夜晚的大多数时间我们都在做梦，但只有当我们处在REM (眼睛迅速转动) 睡眠阶段时醒来，才会记住所做的梦。眼睛迅速转动阶段便是我们做梦的时候。每晚我们有
四、五个REM睡眠阶段，第一次出现在入睡后的90分钟左右。此后，梦期每90分钟复现一次，每次持续15到45分钟，持续时间随着夜晚的深入逐渐增长。
3 睡眠的主要目的（除让我们休息外）也许就是让我们做梦——让我们以一种截然不同的方式回顾我们的生活、我们的忧虑和希望，以及在潜意识中观察自我，把不再需要的资料从记忆中剔除。
4 有些梦可能是由简单的生理原因引起的。例如，梦到在灼热的煤块上行走很可能是因为睡眠时脚太靠近取暖器。而梦到想跑但两腿却动弹不了这种令人沮丧的境况，也许是被子裹得太紧的缘故。闹铃响了而依然熟睡的人则很可能会梦到门铃或电话铃响。所有这些都是潜意识和意识共同引导和启示我们的简单例子。
5 不过这些从生理的角度进行的解释尚不足以说明为什么我们会做梦。有些人认为梦纯粹是无稽之谈，仅仅是人脑中电脉冲无的放矢的结果，然而，有些人则认为最简单的梦都具有重要的含义。
6 有些梦反映的内心忧虑是立即可以识别的。梦见失去工作或者没了房子，也许是反映了真实的忧虑，即便这些忧虑只是潜意识的。我们大多数人都梦见过必须参加一门很难的课程的期末考试，也许是一门从未修过的，或许是学得很糟的课程。
7 但是，有一些梦并没有这样明显的含义，这是怎么回事呢？多个世纪以来，男男女女都从所谓的解梦字典中寻找答案，这类字典最早的可以追溯到公元前5000年。根据这些字典，梦见喝酒意味着短命，而梦见喝水则预示长寿。
8 一直到公元200年，解梦字典受欢迎的程度仍丝毫未减。当时，古希腊的阿尔米多鲁斯写了一部长达五卷的书，解析了3000多个梦，列举了一系列的象征，诸如右手（表示父亲），左手（表示母亲），以及海豚（表示好兆头）。
9 如今，图书馆和书店里有无数的书籍为梦做解析。对于那些热衷于探讨梦的人来说，它们依然深受欢迎。然而，多数专家警告说，读这些书时要非常谨慎。心理分析家兼作家肯尼思·桑德斯解释说：“梦与每个人的思维密切相关，因此分析往往容易出现错误和偏差。我认为，只有当你了解了做梦的人时，才能发现梦的真正含义。”

Samples
― I agree with Saunders’ opinion. First, different people have different social backgrounds and experiences. They may see the world in different ways. Second, I don’t think dreams are closely related to real life. So, it’s easy to make mistakes if you try to interpret someone’s dreams without knowing the person well enough.
― I think it is possible to analyze a dream without knowing the dreamer. If we share the same language and physical environment, we would have a lot in common, at least, for example, the nature of human beings. Of course, people have different ways of thinking, but it doesn’t mean we can’t understand each other. I’m very interested in learning about dreams and ways of analyzing dreams.

Passage II
梦出好心情
1 根据最新的研究，每天晚上梦都可以调整你的不良情绪。而且如果你情绪低落的话，你的梦也许会预示你是否会比较快地使情绪变好。
2 早晨起床，人们自然会感到心情开朗，摆脱了头天晚上的种种烦恼。事实上，研究表明，好好地睡一晚上会改善健康人的心境。
3 但是，对健康的人和心情沮丧的人而言，睡眠的效果却可能天差地别。情绪特别沮丧的人在睡眠后会感觉更糟，因为他们做的梦更抽象，更能搅乱人的心境。
4 罗莎琳德·卡特赖特博士是芝加哥拉什·长老会·圣卢克斯医疗中心睡眠研究中心主任，对梦的研究使她很想搞清楚我们的大脑如何通过梦来调整我们的心情，为什么这种能使人感觉良好的的心理机制在那些极度抑郁的人身上似乎不起作用。
5 卡特赖特做了两项研究，在第一项研究中，先给那些身体正常健康的实验参与者做一次情绪测试，并记录下他们在实验室一晚的睡眠情况，然后在他们早晨起床时再做一次情绪测试。在夜间，这些志愿受试者不时地被叫醒，要他们描述自己的梦境。受试者们被分成两组：一组在睡觉之前情绪平静，另一组则情绪不佳。
6 卡特赖特发现，那些睡觉前情绪平静的人在醒来后心态没什么大的变化，而那些通常情况不消沉但睡前情绪不佳的人都说睡了一个好觉后感觉好多了。
7 这个变化反映在他们的梦境里：据那些一夜之间心情有所改善的实验者反映，他们在睡眠初期噩梦较多，但随着睡眠的深入，这样的梦越来越少。而情绪平静的受试者在梦内容上没什么变化。
新编大学英语 浙大版教材 完整版 翻译 答案
8 “这项研究表明，情绪确实在一夜之间得到了调整。”卡特赖特说，“如果你入睡时心情不佳，你的大脑会立刻开始准备噩梦材料，这样，到你快醒来时，你的不良情绪就已经有所调整。”
9 接着，卡特赖特挑选了一些因为新近分居而情绪低落的夫妻作为实验对象，重复了以上的实验。其中一些不开心的病人随着夜晚的推移，梦里严肃的情感内容少起来了，比较轻松的话题多起来了；而另一些人在睡醒前做的烦心梦反而比刚刚入睡时更加多了。
10 假设前一组实验对象每晚都在梦掉一些不良情绪，研究人员预测他们最终可以摆脱忧郁。他们的预测是正确的。后续研究表明，那组受试者中72%的人在一年后抑郁症状减轻了。
11 “病人最可能记住的是晚上做的最后一个梦。”卡特赖特解释说。
12 第一组病人积极地摆脱忧郁，结果在天亮前做了比较愉快的梦，以致早晨起来心情变好。而那些梦境越来越不愉快的受试者醒来时则更可能情绪低落。
13 这一发现还有它积极的方面。它使睡眠治疗专家可以预测哪些抑郁病人最需要帮助，还能启示他们了解最困扰病人的话题。
14 “如果病人记住了一个噩梦，”卡特赖特说，“那么，不管梦到的是什么内容，它就是治疗专家该重点治疗的。病人显然无法调整自己的情绪，治疗专家应该对付之。” 这么一来，我们就可以把扰人的梦境转变成美梦。

3. Interpreting a Dream
Sample
One night, I woke up from a dream to check my watch. It said 1:00 PM and it was very bright outside. I was very scared since that morning was my first day of school for the new semester, and I was supposed to wake up before 7:00 AM. Oversleeping to 1:00 PM would have been terrible! I tried to get up and get out of bed. But I was unable to...instead, I went back to sleep again, and continued with my dream.
Finally, I woke up and checked my watch. It was only 5:00 AM, two hours before the time for me to get up for class. It was still dark outside. Not until then did I realize that the earlier checking of my watch had happened in a dream.

梦是心灵的谈话
人类至今尚未开启通往梦的世界的大门。尽管我们很多人意识到做梦的价值，希望了解我们在梦中的活动，但大多数人在睡眠中仍觉得象进入梦幻世界一样。有些人认为梦中的生活跟醒着的生活一样真实，而且在积极寻找方法控制睡眠时的思维活动，然而很少有人会将清醒时发生的事情跟梦中发生的事情联系在一起。
心理学家和心理玄学家在二十世纪九十年代普遍认为，我们的梦境包含着日常生活的内容。因此，学习记住并“挖掘”梦境是非常有用的。综观历史，土著居民们就曾特意集体漫游梦境以解决问题，或根据部落所梦见的未来生活设定方向。许多重要的科学发现就来源于梦境中发生的事件。

A Nightmare
I grew up in the country and life was hard at that time. I used to share a bed with my younger brother. We would often fight for space.
One night, I had a terrible dream. In the dream, our village was occupied by foreign invaders. The invaders were taking away property and children from households. They set houses on fire and killed anyone who did not obey them. I managed to hide in a pile of hay. I could hear my heart thumping when I saw some foreign soldiers coming toward our house. I couldn’t see them clearly because my eyes were covered with hay. I could hear them coming nearer and talking angrily. But I didn’t understand anything that they said. Just then, I realized that one of my arms was not fully covered. I wanted to hide it but I dared not move. Then one of the soldiers discovered me. I was almost scared to death. But still I didn’t move. Then I felt a severe pain on my left arm. I was wounded by a soldier with a sword.
I woke up and realized that I had just had a nightmare. But my left arm was hurting. My brother’s leg had been pressing on my arm. (210 words)
