21、Oh,Memories
I must have been three or four when I woke one morning remembering a trip I’d taken alone to Disneyland before I was born.It was so real to me that I bawled when my two older brothers laughed at my story.But this happened,I cried.Honestly,I had met Mickey Mouse,ridden the Matterhorn,everything,and it was amazing.
So began my lifelong struggle with memory. While my dreams invent experiences I can’t shake,important life events and old friends reside in a fog of impressions.Even my one pride, recalling the details of every trail I’ve ever walked,has fallen away.Now,when Susan and I come for a walk along a familiar trail,I just shrug,a once trusted scout absent his sole gift.
Out of shame,I’ve compensated spectacularly,building an absurd alternate memory literally as big as a room.It’s an attic full of cabinets and boxes holding 500 pounds of clippings,maps, tickets to everything I’ve attended,report cards (mine and my kids’),work files,Christmas cards, and doodles of nothingness.To what purpose?Good question.
I don’t refer to the material,because how would I find what I was looking for?My kids laugh out loud when I say it’s for them.I ‘ll never write one memoir from this mess,much less the dozen its size implies.It’s as if I were a hoarder (hoard囤积) of evidence that I exist.Only I can tell that it’s a room of proof that I do still remember something that I am hoarding.
“The Truth About Memory” explains,Memory,isn’t about evidence.It’s just an old man telling tales by a fire,prone to nonsense but also entertaining as heck and rich with meanings to savor. Reading it, I felt a weight lift.If a good memory is a brain full of unreliable, deeply felt stories,I have those in every flash of moment!
You do, too, I’m sure,cherish a powerful memory that makes you smile,no matter how foggy or questionably true it is,although I bet it won’t be as fantastic as my sojourn to Disneyland.

22、We all have dreams sometimes. Some are sweet but some are nightmares. Almost all researchers in sleep explain that nightmares are a reaction to negative experiences that happen during waking hours. However, some of them believe that nightmares do have some real benefits. One 2017 study, for example, found that frequent nightmare sufferers rated themselves as more empathetic（共鸣的）.They also displayed more of a tendency to unconsciously mirror other people through things like yawning. People who have constant nightmares also tend to think further outside the box on psychoanalysis tasks. Some other researchers have found support for the idea that nightmares might be linked to creativity.
People seeking cure for nightmares were not necessarily more fearful or anxious, but rather had a general sensitivity to all emotional experience. Sensitivity is the driving force behind intense dreams. Heightened sensitivity to threats or fear during the day results in bad dreams and nightmares, whereas heightened passion or excitement may result in more intense positive dreams. And both these forms of dreams may feed back into waking life, perhaps increasing suffering after nightmares, or promoting social bonds and empathy after positive dreams.
The effects go further still. This sensitivity overflows over into perceptions and thoughts: people who have a lot of nightmares experience a dreamlike quality to their waking thoughts. And this kind of thinking seems to give them a creative edge. For instance, studies show that such people tend to have greater creative talent and artistic expression. And people who often have nightmares also tend to have more positive dreams than the average person.
The evidence points towards the idea that, rather than disturbing normal activity, people who are unfortunate in having a lot of nightmares also have a dreaming life that is at least as creative, positive and vivid as it can be distressing and terrifying. What’s more, this imaginative richness is unlikely to be limited to sleep, but also is filled with waking thought and daydreams. Even after people wake up and shake off the nightmare, in other words, a mark of it stays behind, possessing them throughout the day.
【1】What do most sleep researchers think of nightmares?
A. They have no advantages at all.
B. They make people more empathetic.
C. They can promote human’s creativity.
D. They are a reflection of waking behaviour.
【2】How can nightmare sufferers probably stop nightmares in theory according to the text?
A. Try to reduce sensitivity to threats or fear.
B. Be more fearful or anxious to nightmares.
C. Avoid excitement as much as possible.
D. Promote social bonds and empathy.
【3】What does the underlined word “perception” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Content. B. Awareness.
C. Intelligence. D. Determination.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Benefits of Nightmares B. The Solution of Nightmares
C. The Empathy of Nightmares D. The Tendency of Nightmares

24、Writers used to approach publishers to have their work read by the public. Now they can simply post them and find millions of instant audience.
After breaking up with her boyfriend, Bao Jingjing started “making up” a love story simply to distract (转移) her attention. Her story of a girl suffering the pain like hers progressed quickly, attracting many readers.
When Bao stopped writing as she reunited with her boyfriend, she was urged to continue, as readers wanted to know what happened next. Bao finished it soon. It became so popular that it was turned into a best-seller. To cap it all off, Bao’s novel was later adapted into a successful movie.
Bao’s story is only one of many Internet novels that have landed deals for physical books, TV shows and films. Unlike traditional writers who buried themselves in their books for years, some young writers like Bao have got readers rapidly online and find overnight success.
Bao admits her success was unexpected. She still remembers how surprised her parents were when she proudly gave them her copyright earnings. Online literature forums are platforms for grassroots writers to succeed.

He topped the list of wealthiest Chinese Internet novelists twice and was the only online writer to be listed on the 2014 Forbes “Chinese Celebrity List”.
