Although the first airplane did not fly until 1903, flying soon became the fastest method of transport. Today it is1peoples favorite way of travelling long distances because it has a lot of advantages. The first airplanes were not big or powerful enough to carry more than a pilot, but during the First World War (1914- 1918) larger aircraft with up to four engines were2to carry bombs(炸弹). After the war some of these were changed to carry a few passenger services. In 1919 the first regular passenger services were started between several cities in Europe.Air transport was even then too3for most cargoes(货物), but mail began to be carried by air at an early stage. This was partly because letters are small and light, and partly because businessmen, especially, were prepared to pay more for their mail to be delivered by the fastest method.4, in the United States, where letters could take over a week to cross the country by train, airmail services were the first regular transport flights.The early passenger aircraft could carry only about 12 passengers, and only enough5for short journeys. For long distances, such as from Europe to the United States, aircraft filled with very light gas and able to float through the air, began to be used in the 1930s.By the end of the Second World War in 1945, much larger airplanes had been made. At the same time, military(军事的) airfields had been built all over the world, and long distance routes had been set up. After the war, the introduction of the jet engine, which6much greater power, allowed even bigger and faster aircraft to be built. Todays wide-bodied airplanes can carry as many as 800 passengers.Modern air transport passenger services are quite convenient. Air transport has allowed more people to travel abroad than ever before.（1）A . quietly B . easily C . directly D . recently （2）A . recognized B . considered C . developed D . described （3）A . expensive B . ordinary C . traditional D . private （4）A .

But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the senses - smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch .Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again.Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist (奥地利心理学家) Sigmund Freud wrote a book called The Interpretation (诠释) of Dreams in 1900. Freud believed people often dream about things they want but cant have. Swiss (瑞士) psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams provide solutions to problems we face when we are awake. Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions (感情). Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry (心理学教授) at Harvard University in Massachusetts. He says that when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world. He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and wishes.Scientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams. Doctor Stickgold says its more than one hundred years since Sigmund Freud wrote his important book about dreaming. Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream. （1）From the passage we know _. A . dreams are remembered by everyoneB . dreams express all that we think in our mindC . dreams include all the senses and things we touchD . how the brain works while dreaming（2）A book on dreaming was written by .

A . believe dreams can help people understand all the problems that they faceB . believe when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the worldC . study dreams and dreaming and have their own ideasD . have the same idea that people often dream about things they want（5）Which would be the best title for the passage?
