Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your 36 was a million miles away? You probably felt 37 and made up your mind to pay attention and never daydream again. Most of us, from the earliest school 38 , have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.
“On the contrary,” says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology, “daydreaming is quite 39 . Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the 40 it has to do during a normal day. You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious mind. 41 , your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one 42 in which the unconscious and conscious 43 of mind have silent dialogues.”
Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of 44 , or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental 45 . They did not have a better understanding of daydreams 46 the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, “We 47 now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we 48 our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our future.” Daydreams are really a 49 on the things we fear and the things we long for in life.
Daydreams are usually very simple and 50 , quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be 51 to understand. It’s easier to gain a 52 understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help one 53 the difficult situations in life and find out a possible way for handing them.
Daydreams cannot be predicted. They move off in 54 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.
So next time you catch 55 daydreaming, don’t stop. Just pay attention to your dreams. They may be more important than you think.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题3分，满分60分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality, its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it also mean that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self – awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.

Who would have thought a man who lived in the Stone Age would be dressed in clothes made in China? A thousand – year – old mummy, nicknamed Otzi the Iceman was wearing a Chinese jacket, latest research has found. But where and how he got the jacket has become a topic of great debate.
Otzi is the nickname of a well – preserved mummy from about 3300 BC. He was found in 1991 in the Otztal Valley in the Alps, near the border between Austria and Italy. Two German tourists, Helmut and Erika Simon found him when they were climbing.
Oztis was thought to be the body of a soldier who fought during World War I but was found to be thousands of years older. Analyzing Otzi showed that the items with him were all of different ages.
His arrows are 7000 years old, the axe belonged to a time hundreds of years later and the skin in which the man was dressed originally belonged to a goat that lived in China. Otzi’s tattoo shows that he might have been a wizard, according to Prauda, the official newspaper in Russia.
There are still many mysteries surrounding Otzi, yet the most famous and frightening one is his curse.
