Questions 91-95 are based on
the following passage. It is amazing how many people
still say, "I never dream", for it is now decades since it was established that
everyone has over a thousand dreams a year, however few of these nocturnal
productions are remembered on waking. Even the most confined "non-dreamers" will
remember dreams if woken up systematically during the Rapid Eye Movement (REM)
periods. These are periods of light sleep during which the eyeballs move rapidly
back and forth under the closed lids and the brain becomes highly activated,
which happens three or four times every night of normal sleep.
It is a very interesting question why some people remember dreams
regularly—perhaps several a night on occasion—while others remember hardly any
at all under normal conditions. In considering this, it is important to bear in
mind that the dream tends to be an elusive phenomenon for all of us. We normally
never recall a dream unless we awaken directly from it, and even then it has a
tendency to fade quickly into oblivion. Given this general
elusiveness of dreams, the basic factor that seems to determine whether a person
remembers them or not is the same as that which determines all other memory,
namely degree of interest. Dream researchers have made a broad classification of
people into "recallers" —those who remember at least one dream a month—and
"non-recallers", who remember fewer than this. Tests have shown that cool,
analytical people with a very rational approach to their feelings tend to recall
fewer dreams than those whose attitude to life is open and flexible. Engineers
generally recall fewer dreams than artists. It is not surprising to discover
that in western society, women normally recall more dreams than men, since women
are traditionally allowed an instinctive, feeling approach to life.
In modern urban-industrial culture, feeling and dreams tend to be treated
as frivolities which must be firmly subordinated to the realities of life. We
pay lip-service to the inner life of imagination as it expresses itself in the
arts, but in practice relegate music, poetry, drama and painting to the level of
spare-time activities, valued mainly for the extent to which they refresh us for
a return to work. We discourage our children from paying much attention to
anything that might detract from the serious business of studying for exams or
making a living in the "real" world of industry and
commerce.

While some international
{{U}}couriers{{/U}} are showing signs of exhaustion, EMS (Express Mail Service), the
generic name for the courier services of post offices, seems to be finding its
{{U}}stride{{/U}}. Known as Datapost in Britain, as Chronopost in France, and as
Al-Barid al-Mumtaz in Saudi Arabia, EMS is now second in the international
courier business (jointly with TNT Skypack). Last year it delivered 5.6 million
items, weighing less than 20 kilograms each, across borders. That and its annual
growth rate of around 5 percent have worried DHL, the market leader, enough for
it to counter-attack in the Courts. On October 26, a Dutch judge
ruled against DHL on all three counts filed against the Dutch post office: that
the three-initial name was too close to DHL's; that the orange lines in the EMS
logo were too similar to DHL's dark red ones; and that the claim to the widest
route system in the world was unfounded. DHL has threatened the Swiss post
office with similar action, but it may reconsider after the Dutch
ruling. EMS has some advantages over the private couriers. One
is a dense ready-made network of offices, especially in Europe, the avowed
target area of the private couriers. Another advantage is a long tradition of
working with customs authorities. In a business where minutes count, it pays to
have good friends at customs. That advantage particularly irritates the private
couriers because there is no legal way to combat such unquantifiable
coziness. The private courier services are also annoyed because
in countries like Switzerland and Italy, where the post office is officially a
monopoly, they pay it a fee. In Switzerland DHL says it pays more than SFr lm
($708,000) "to the competition" each year. In France the couriers have won a
battle for exoneration. Although governments are under little
pressure to keep prices artificially low, EMS is often cheaper than the private
couriers, but not always. A recent test in Britain(on a domestic route)showed
Datapost about halfway between the least and the most expensive, but gave it
full marks for speed and service. Each national EMS is free to
set its rates and follow its own rules on things like bulk discounts. The
Universal Postal Union, based in Berne, determines how costs and revenues are
split between sending and receiving countries, and standardizes procedures. More
than 100 postal administrations have linked into the system — and more are
coming, including Russia's. That makes the feisty EMS particularly happy since
its rivals have not been allowed to serve anywhere in
Russia.
