20、is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure (步骤). They are spoken at me, not to me.Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase business.The
21、 expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it shows the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end.

27、a Polite Ending of a Conversation. D The secrets of dreaming are always interesting psychologists. It is generally acknowledged in the field that dreams people have during this time between childhood and full adulthood, thats around 30, are the strongest and most influential. Yet not enough is known
28、 about the repeated patterns of dreaming. Researchers are still trying to answer a basic question: How does dreaming relate to the life experiences and developmental challenges? G. William Domhoff and Adam Schneider, at the University of California, help to answer this question by examining the leng
29、thy dream series of two individuals, Izzy and Jasmine. Izzy provided a collection of 4,329 dream reports from between the ages of 12 and 25, while Jasmine provided 664 dreams recorded between the ages of 14 and 25. Large collections of dreams like these pose challenges to researchers. Until recently
30、, the means of studying dream series was to employ a team of recorders who take the time to code each dream for a predetermined number of content categories, and then compare their results. Nowadays, digital technologies enable the analysis of language usage in dreams with high speed, precision, and
31、 objectivity. This marks a revolutionary advance in the science of dreaming. However, it can only lead so far. To gain more specific and detailed insights, Domhoff and Schneider tailored word strings for each dreamer, mixing elements of traditional research with digital tools for analyzing large dat
32、a sets. For Izzy these word strings included family and relatives, celebrities and fantasy, while the word strings they created for Jasmine included familiar places, electrical equipment and music. The researchers used these word strings to identify connections between their dreams and real lives. S
33、urprisingly, the results of the analysis revealed a great deal of consistency and continuity in both sets of dreams. Izzy pays much attention to pop culture, and has affection for famous actors. Jasmine is an accomplished musician and performer. The frequencies of dream elements reveal the intensity
34、 of the dreamers personal concern with that element in waking thought, Domhoff and Schneider conclude. For anyone who still claims dreaming is merely random nonsense from the brain and mental world, these findings are hard to explain away.32. What do psychologists agree with about dreams?A. Dreams a
35、re influenced by life experiences. B. Dreaming is never nonsense from the brain.C. Dreams in ones teens and twenties are most intense. D. The patterns of dreaming are usually repeated.33. What does it underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The collection of dreams. B. Research into dreaming.C. The di
36、gital method. D. The challenge for psychologists.34. How do the researchers conduct their study?A. By analyzing large data sets. B. By developing individualized word strings.C. By identifying the patterns of dreaming. D. By making comparison with traditional research.35. Which can be the best title
