单选题
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.
填空题Robert Rosenthal
Born in 1933, Robert Rosenthal dashed over the academic hurdles in record time. He received his B. A. at twenty years of age and his Ph.D. by the time he was twenty-three, both at the University of California at Los Angeles. He then spent brief periods at UCLA, Ohio State, and the University of North Dakota. His work
21
increasing notice throughout the professional world. The idea of the self-fulfilling
22
was not new to psychology. What was new, however, was Rosenthal"s
23
to demonstrate how often this phenomenon was
24
the work of the psychologists themselves. His
25
were almost immediately
26
. And, as if to create ore controversy among psychologists, since his early work had not
27
been replicated, the department of social relations at Harvard University
28
halfway across the country to North Dakota and offered Rosenthal a Harvard
29
, all by the time he was twenty-nine years old.
30
the move to the East and more time for research, Rosenthal sifted into
31
gear. He not only replicated his original findings but began to produce
32
on his important concept in a wide variety of areas. As
33
in the text, each time one of his studies is criticized, he has been able to
34
the critics not with rhetoric but rather with more research data to
35
his position. The controversy itself, of course, continues. The
36
outcome has been to produce more evidence, more sophisticated research
37
, and thus more comprehensive information for educational psychology. In
38
, he has now established the importance of nonverbal channels as the meaning of communicating expectations to others.
