A. Dream of falling down.B. Dream of running hard.C. Dream of being pushed away.D. Dream of flying into the air. Dreams play an important role in our lives. If they can be correctly explained, we can come to understand ourselves better. Here, we look at four common dreams and what they potentially symbolize.【R1】______ I can see their laughing faces...laughing at me. But they aren't as smart. If they were, they'd be up here flying with me! This dream has both positive and negative connotations(涵义). On the positive side, the dream may express a strong desire to travel and get away from everyday routine. It can be interpreted as a powerful desire to achieve. On the other hand, this dream can mean the person has a problem or is afraid of something and they wish to escape. The dream could represent an inferiority complex(自卑情结), which the dreamer attempts to escape from by putting themselves up above others.【R2】______ I'm moving from fast now, but it's still behind me. Doesn't matter how fast I go, I still can't escape. Although this is a traditional symbol of health and vitality(生命力)like the other one, it can also suggest the dreamer is trying to escape from danger. Usually, fear is prominent emotion. By running hard, the dreamer can possibly escape the threat. However, they can also stumble(蹒跚)or worse still stop moving altogether. This makes dream even more terrifying(恐怖的). One possible interpretation suggests that the dreamers are under pressure in their everyday life.【R3】______ I'm sweating and my heart is beating. I am trapped in my own bed. In this dream, the person is often standing on a high, exposed place such as on the top of a tower, or on the edge of a cliff. The overwhelming(强烈的)feeling changes from anxiety to a loss of control. There is nothing to stop the person, and the feeling as they go over the edge can be horrifying real. Fortunately, just before hitting the ground, the dreamer awakens with a sense of enormous relief. This dream suggests that the dreamer is afraid of losing control and has a fear of failure or even death.【R4】______ The wind is pushing me and I slip. There is nothing I can do, nothing I can hold on to. This symbol is associated with fear: suddenly the dreamer loses all power of movement. They try hard to move their arms and legs, but they simply cannot. Frozen in a terrifying situation with no escape, they become more and more terrified as the seconds go by. Another frequent context for this dream is failing to do something in public, often something which you are normally very good at, such as your job. Not only is this extremely embarrassing, but is also shows a deep-seated phobia(恐惧)of losing a job and a livelihood.

A. Nokia posts $ 1. 38bn loss in fourth qtrB. Gold surges to 7-week high of $ 1720C. R-Power ropes in German utility for miningD. "We are creating, not stealing jobs in US, Europe" 【R1】______ London: Gold prices soared Thursday to the highest level in almost seven weeks as the dollar weakened after the US Federal Reserve vowed to keep interest rates near zero for more than two years. The precious metal rose up to $ 1,720. 35 an ounce on the London Bullion Market — the highest level since December 9 but still far below the record peak of $1,921. 15 struck on September 6. "With the US Federal pledging to keep interest rates in check until late 2014, gold soared," said Rose Norman, boss of British-based bullion broker Sharp Pixley. " Although there was heavy speculative buying, anxious investors joined the fray who are concerned by currency depreciation as global central banks use easy monetary policies to flood markets with cash. " 【R2】______ Davos: With HCL Tech announcing 10,000 jobs for locals in the US and Europe, India Inc on Thursday chose the WEF meet to send a strong message that India IT firms are creating and not stealing jobs in troubled western economies. A message emerged from British PM David Cameron's advice to EU that instead of being a threat, emerging economies like India can be of great help to Europe. Concluding FTA with India by the year-end would be in Europe's interest, he said. "There has to be FTAs, bilateral trade agreements with countries like India and Singapore along with other countries," he said. 【R3】______ Helsinki: Mobile phone maker Nokia Corp posted a fourth-quarter net loss of 1.70 billion euro($ 1. 38bn)as sales slumped 21% even as the company's first Windows smart phones hit markets in Europe and Asia. The loss compares with a profit of 745 million euro in the same period a year earlier. Nokia said net revenue, including both its mobile phones and its network divisions, fell from 12. 6 billion euro in the Q4 of 2010 to 10 billion, with smartphones plunging 23%. Nokia has lost its once-dominance in the global cell phone market, with Android phones and iPhones overtaking it in the growing smartphone segment. Nokia is attempting a comeback with phones using Microsoft's Window software, a struggle that CEO Stephen Elop characterized as "war of eco-systems. " 【R4】______ New Delhi: Anil Ambani's R-Power has roped in RWE Power International of Germany to help the company with extracting coal from its captive mines of the Tilaiya ultra-mega power project, the third such plant the government has mandated the company to set up. RWE Power is one of Europe's leading energy utilities and German's biggest coal miner. The company would help R-Power design and plan the engineering aspects of captive mine and procurement of equipment and ensure quality control. Government has allocated Kerendari Band C coal blocks of North Karanpura coal fields in Jharkhand to meet the fuel requirements of the Tilaiya project. These mines have reserve of over 1 billion ton. The company plans to produce 40 million tons of coal per year.

Before Moko the dolphin turned up, the beached whales were in clear distress. But when Moko arrived at Mahia beach on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island, their mood changed and they followed him to safety. The ability of some animals to communicate is well known. What's less well documented, however, is the communication between species. Justin Gregg, vice president of the Dolphin Communication Project, said it is possible that a dolphin and a whale could communicate in some way. "But it wouldn't be instructions like 'Hey, buddy, the open ocean is over here. Follow me,'" he says. Dolphins use three forms of signaling to other dolphins—whistles, clicking and postures. A whale might have signals in common with a dolphin, just as different species of dolphins are known to share signals which might theoretically allow a form of basic inter-species communication. But just as it's possible that Moko the dolphin and the stranded whales shared a signal, it is also possible that the whales just saw a vaguely similar creature and followed it. There are many reasons why different species communicate, says Vincent Janik, lecturer at the Sea Mammal Research Unit at St Andrew's University. "The animals exploit the systems of others for their own benefits. Sometimes the benefits are the same for each, therefore they share information. Sometimes they are trying to take advantage of the other. Getting food may not be to the advantage of the one giving up the food. "
