“ Dream may be more important than sleep. We all need to dream.” Some scientists say.
Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short films, and they are usually in color. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.
Some people get new ideas about their work from a dream but, often, we can’t remember our dreams. Dreams can go quickly from the memory.
Too much dreaming can be harmful(有害). The more we sleep the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.

From the world’s heaviest apple, the oldest lady to the world’s smallest dog, these are all part of a group of the world’s strangest people and things. And they are all in the Guinness Book of Records（《吉尼斯纪录》）.
The book is going to celebrate its birthday this August. It began exactly half a century ago. And it’s always one of the best selling books in the world.
People now can break over 1,000 records every week! Why do so many people want to break the records? Do they want their names in the book or meet more people around the world? “ It gives people a chance to show they’re the best in the world.” said one of the record keepers Stewart Newport.
The book was started by Hugh Beaver from Britain. In 1951, he went shooting birds and talked with his friends about the fastest bird in Europe. Three years later, they were still talking about it. So Beaver believed that people must have different ideas. So, he decided to start a book to record the world’s truly greatest people and things in it!
The newest book came out last Tuesday. This book has a lot of interesting records. Here are two:
◎ A British dog, Whitney, is the world’s smallest dog. It’s only 76mm tall.
◎ An American woman Lee Redmond has the longest fingernails(指甲). They grew as long as 600mm! She made the record in 1971.
( ) 48. We can see everything in the Guinness Book of Records except _____.
the heaviest fruits and animals.
the smallest people and animals.
the strangest people and things.
very ordinary people and things.
( ) 49. New Guinness Book of Records has been one of the best selling books for _____.
their names could be kept in the world records.
their names could be seen by the whole world.
they could meet more people all over the world.
they could be known as the greatest by the world.
( ) 50. Which of the following is right according to the passage?
Newport started the Guinness Book of Records in Britain.
More than four thousand records are broken each month.
The Guinness Book of Records started in the year 1954.
D. he newest book of Guinness Book of Records.

A. tell us strangest records in the world.
B. show us the beginning of the Guinness Book of Records.
C. give us an introduction to the Guinness Book of Records.
D. let us know the most interesting things in the world.

I have never taken cooking classes. I learned cooking from my mother because she was really interested in teaching me how to cook.. The main reason for this was because when my mother got married, she didn’t know how to cook anything, not even an egg. My grandmother never allowed her to stay in the kitchen when she was cooking.
My mother did not start to cook until she was 25 years old. In the beginning, it was very hard for her. Therefore, she had to take cooking classes to prepare our meals. After having that experience, she decided to teach me how to cook because she didn’t want me to have the same experience.
I remember I was seven years old, and my mother was cooking, I was with her in the kitchen enjoying cooking. I always helped her. Sometimes we prepared meals that my mother already knew how to make, and sometimes we prepared them from recipes. Nowadays, I am really thankful for that experience because I don’t need help to cook a meal. I can cook for me alone or for a group of people; it doesn’t matter.
I will do the same with my children because I don’t want them to have the same experience as my mother. If one day I am with them, I want to be sure that they can carry on their lives without me.
( ) 52. The writer’s mother learned cooking _____.

from cooking books.
