Dreaming appears t have little cnnect in t wrk. Hwever, new research shws that when dreams are first recalled, peple ften draw cnnectins between their dreams and waking lives, and the cnnectins they draw alter hw they think, feel and act at wrk.
The team perfrmed the studies that cllectively captured apprximately 5,000 mrning-f reprts f dream recall amng full-time emplyees. The researchers issued a mrning-f field study, a single-day mrning-t-afternn study, and a tw-week experience sampling study.
“An awe-inspiring dream is highly impactful and memrable, ften invlving extrardinary experiences r interactins. Fr example, we arrive at wrk shrtly after interacting with deceased （逝去的） lved nes, narrwly escaping r perfrming acts f immeasurable ability,” Belinda, the chief f the study, said. “Regardless f ur persnal beliefs abut dreams, these experiences bleed int and affect ur waking lives—including hw prductive we are at wrk.”
Say yu recall an awe-inspiring dream in the mrning, and then later in the afternn, yur bss tells yu t cnduct 10 mre interviews than yu were expecting t d. Yu might nw think that it’s nt that big a deal because yur awe-inspiring dream just put everything int perspective. Yu have a greater realizatin that there’s a bigger wrld ut there and yu’re just part f it r that yu’re cnnected t everything.
“S, get a gd night’s sleep fr waking wnder!”Belinda added. Studies shw that dreams ccur in all stages f sleep and are impactful regardless f sleep habits. Hwever, the mst vivid dreams—thse mst likely t have meaning and create waking wnder—ccur during REM sleep. Because REM sleep takes place late in a given sleep cycle, getting sufficient, high-quality sleep will help yu get the mst ut f yur dreams. Sleep-tracking devices can indicate when and hw much time yu spend in REM sleep, which help imprve sleep schedules t increase the chance f having awe-inspiring dreams. Fr bth managers and emplyees, hw much r hw well peple slept really means a lt, which can increase prductivity at wrk.
（ ）28．What is paragraph 2 intended t explain?
A．Why a dream is recrded. B．Hw the study is cnducted.
C．What the study revealed. D．Wh jined in the research.
（ ）29．Which is an awe-inspiring dream accrding t paragraphs 3 and 4?
A．Failing a tugh test. B．Meeting with strangers.
C．Being stuck in a traffic accident. D．Saving peple like a superman.
（ ）30．What des Belinda recmmend in the last paragraph?
A．Prductive sleep. B．Sleep-tracking study.
C．Gd REM sleep. D．Healthy living habits.
（ ）31．What is the main idea f the passage?
A．Dreams impact all sleep stages.B．Dreams can be channeled fr prductivity.
C．Dreams cntribute t ne’s mental health.D．Dreams are attracting greater attentin wrldwide.

If yu’re stuck in what seems like an endless cycle f prcrastinatin （拖延）, guilt and chas, yu might be wndering, “Why am I s lazy?” Despite that cmmn belief, laziness usually isn’t the reasn behind prcrastinatin, said Jenny Yip, a clinical psychlgist. “Laziness is like, ‘I have abslutely n desire t even think abut this.’ Prcrastinatin is, ‘It trubles me t think abut this. And therefre, it’s hard fr me t get the jb dne.’ That’s a big difference.”
Knwing why yu prcrastinate and learning hw t fight against it are the nly ways t change yur behavir. Psychlgist Sapadin sught t help this self-imprvement effrt with her bk “Hw t Beat Prcrastinatin in the Digital Age.” Yu culd be the perfectinist, the dreamer, the wrrier r the defier （对抗者）—these are all prcrastinatin styles that Sapadin lists in her bk. Bth perfectinists and wrriers might put ff starting tasks due t a fear f failure r criticism. And like a perfectinist, a dreamer might always want smething better. As fr the defier, they tend t view life in terms f what thers expect r require them t d, nt what they want. This pessimism weakens their mtivatin t cmplete tasks.
Prcrastinatin can have practical cnsequences, such as falling behind at wrk r failing t achieve persnal gals. But there are als emtinal r mental impacts. It has been assciated with depressin, anxiety and stress, pr sleep, inadequate physical activity, lneliness and ecnmic difficulties, accrding t a January study f mre than 3,500 cllege students.
Knwing why yu prcrastinate can make yu self-aware, but yu still need strategies t break the habit. In such cases, “cnsider cntacting a prfessinal, like a psychlgist, wh might be able t help yu,” said Shatz, a creatr f the website Slving
Prcrastinatin. “Visualizatin （可视化） wrks,” Shatz added. “If yu can imagine yurself cmpleting a task, then it becmes mre achievable simply because yu have an idea that it can be dne.” At the end f the day, hw yu apprach life is “all abut yur belief system”. If yu believe yu can, yu can. Whatever yu believe, yu’re right.
（ ）32．What des Jenny Yip mean accrding t paragraph 1?
A．Prcrastinatin keeps peple in chas.B．Prcrastinatin is nt a result f laziness.
C．Lazy peple can’t help thinking abut the jb.D．Lazy peple are ften stuck in prcrastinatin.
（ ）33．Why is the defier ne f the prcrastinatin styles?
A．They lng fr smething better.B．They have a fear f failure r criticism.
C．They priritize thers’ expectatins.D．They have a pessimistic utlk n life.
（ ）34．What des the authr indicate by mentining a January study?
A．Prcrastinatin has an impact n ecnmics.
B．Prcrastinatin is cnnected with mental prblems.
C．Cllege students have difficulties in achieving gals.
D．Cllege students are generally affected by prcrastinatin.
（ ）35．What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A．Prcrastinatin can be reslved.B．Prcrastinatin is due t self-unawareness.
C．Knwing yur prcrastinatin relieves it.D．Visualizatin is ineffective against prcrastinatin.

Outside the cuple’s furth-flr apartment, a hmeless man was ften yelling n the street crner, smetimes keeping them awake at night.

“It was the weirdest thing t me,” Petersn recalled later. “I saw beauty n the face f a man wh hadn’t shaved in prbably a year, had vergrwn finger nails, prbably hadn’t had a shwer in clse t a year. But his stry, the life inside f him, inspired me.” And even thugh Petersn, a graduate f the Cleveland Institute f Art, hadn’t picked up a paintbrush in abut eight years, he fund himself asking if he culd paint Faris’s prtrait. Faris said yes.
