26、 We all know the feeling of waking up in the middle of the night with a pounding heart and sweaty palms. Relax, you say to yourself— it was just a bad dream. Well, it may be that you really should relax, because nightmares might actually be good for you.
According to New York magazine, bad dreams can improve your mental health. A bad dream tends to be based on a real-life concern, for example, an approaching test or a fear of a person. To eliminate these worries the brain turns the dream into a story in the form of a bad dream.
A bad dream enables you to distance yourself from your anxieties, and turn something you’re worried about now into a memory. The result is that when you wake up, you’re able to move forward and face the future.
A study, featured in The Atlantic magazine, showed something similar. In a survey of more than 700 French students taking a medical school entrance exam, over 60 percent had negative dreams about the test the night before. These included not finishing on time, leaving a question blank, or being late. Those who reported dreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn’t, suggesting that nightmares do in fact prepare us for the future.
“We think nightmares are so common that they have some purpose to process stressors,” Anne Germain, director of the Sleep Center at the University of Pittsburgh, said.
So, the next time you lie awake at night after a bad dream, remember that it may be the brain’s way of putting your fears behind you and readying you for the future. Although a nightmare may make you afraid in the short term, it might be helping you to move on from the bad stuff you might be facing in the real world. Perhaps we should try to accept our nightmares rather than allow them to keep us awake. After all, lack of sleep causes far more problems than dreams do.
【1】Which of the following best explains “eliminate” in Paragraph 2?
A.Remove. B.Reflect. C.Satisfy. D.Strengthen.
【2】Why does the author mention the study in the fourth paragraph?
A.To show medical school entrance exams will cause anxiety.
B.To show those who have nightmares will do worse in an exam.
C.To show nightmares help students perform better in an exam.
D.To show most of the students will be stressed before an exam.
【3】According to the author, what should we do if we have a bad dream?
A.We should keep ourselves awake.
B.We should relax and go on sleeping.
C.We should study bad dreams carefully.
D.We should prevent it from happening.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A diary. B.A guidebook. C.A novel. D.A magazine.

29、 Like many families in Sanyati, a small countryside town in western Zimbabwe, Tatenda’s family does not have a television. One day after school, Tatenda arrived home tired and noticed something unusual in the house. “At first, I thought Dad had bought a television set, but when my mother said it was a computer, I was disappointed,” 11-year-old Tatenda said. “Nobody in our neighborhood knew how to operate a computer.”
For almost two weeks, the gift lay untouched in the house. But things changed when Amina, a young family friend from Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital, came to visit. Amina knew all about computers and was a good teacher, too.
At first, Tatenda always pressed the wrong button. But he kept on going because he was eager to learn. After three weeks, Tatenda mastered some computer basics.
Meanwhile, Tatenda’s friends wondered what had happened to him, because Tatenda always had an excuse for going back home.
One day, Tatenda’s three friends surprised him at home. When they arrived, they couldn’t believe what they saw—a computer and Tatenda operating it.
After that surprise visit, Tatenda taught them how to use the computer. It wasn’t long before the neighborhood kids wanted to learn, too! Tatenda worried. The computer began to experience problems because the kids were pressing too many buttons. So he began charging for lessons. But those whose parents did not have money paid with chickens or goats.
With the money earned from teaching, Tatenda has bought a television and radio for his family. And he plans to buy a new computer. He also plans to keep on teaching. The people of Sanyati couldn’t be more pleased. Tatenda has single-handedly introduced computers to his town and is simply known there as “Teacher”.
