ge, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).
Passage One
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Script:
Although scientists have different opinions, most people find that their dreams are very meaningful for them. Dreams are useful in learning more about the dreamer's feelings, thoughts, behavior, and values. Many find that dreams can help them solve problems. Further, artists, writers, and scientists often get creative ideas from dreams.
Many people agree that dreams reflect one's deep thoughts and feelings. The people, actions, settings and emotions in your dreams are personal to you. Some dream experts think that there are typical dreams and dream elements that happen to different persons, cultures, and times. But usually the same image or symbol will have different meanings for different people. For example, an elephant in a dream can mean one thing to a zoo keeper and something quite different to a child whose favorite toy is a stuffed elephant. Therefore, books which give a specific meaning for a specific dream image or symbol are not usually helpful. By thinking about what each dream element means to you or reminds you of, by looking for connections between what is happening in your dreams and what is happening in your waking life, you can learn to understand your dreams. It can be helpful to keep a dream diary and reflect on many dreams over a long period of time.

Passage Two
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Script:
Nightmares are very common among children and fairly common among adults. Often nightmares are caused by stress, painful experiences, emotional difficulties, drugs or illness. However, some people have frequent nightmares that seem unrelated to their waking lives. Recent studies suggest that these people tend to be more open, sensitive, trusting, and emotional than common people.
Many people have dreamed that they died or hit bottom in a fall and they have lived to tell the tale! You can explore the meaning of these kinds of images just as you would explore any others in your dreams. However, if any aspect of your dreams worries or distresses you, talk to a doctor about your concerns.
If you don't want nightmares, it is possible to control your dreams by giving yourself suggestions before sleep. Another method of influencing dreams is to be aware you are dreaming while you are still asleep and in the dream. Sometimes people experience this type of dreaming and then control what they want to experience in the dream. But some things are easier than others to control, and indeed complete control is probably never possible. Some professional dream workers are doubtful about controlling the dream, and encourage learning to enjoy and understand it instead.
