You probably felt sorry and decided to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us have been told from earliest school days that daydreaming is a waste of time.L. Giambra, a psychologist（心理学家）, says,” On the contrary , daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldnt do all the thinking that it has to do during a normal day. You cant possibly do all your thinking with a conscious （神志清醒的）mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states （状态）of mind have silent conversations .”Early psychologists paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even thought they were harmful. At one time people thought that some psychological illness caused day dreaming. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinges, a professor, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinges says, “We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures. Daydreams really are a window on the things that we fear and the things we long for (渴望) in life.”Daydreams are usually very simple and direct（直接）, quite unlike sleep dreams. Sleep dreams may be hard to understand. Its easier to get a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine (分析)your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you know the difficult situations（情况）in your life and found out a possible way of dealing with them.Daydreams cannot be predicted（预言）: they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.（1）The passage is mainly about _ .A . winter sleepsB . sleep dreamsC . daydreamingD . predictions（2）The underlined phraseOn the contrary means _ . A . 总之B . 相反C . 毕竟D . 因此（3）The writer of this passage thinks daydreams are_.A . hard to understandB . important and helpfulC . harmful and unimportantD . the same as sleep dreams（4）Psychologists now believe that _.A . daydreams are usually very simple and can be predictedB . daydreams are usually difficult to understandC . daydreams cause some psychological illnessD . daydreams may be creative and full of useful ideas（5）The writer quoted (引用 )L. Giambra and Eric Klinges to _.A . list out two different ideasB . point out the wrong ideas of early expertsC . support his own ideasD . report the latest research on daydreams三、 选词填空 (共1题；共5分)6. （5分）computer Sunday butso movies dont doesnt booksThere are seven days in a week.
