Around North America, we can visit young mountains, such as the Cascades of the Pacific Northwest, that continue to rise higher even today. We can also visit older mountains, such as the Appalachians of eastern North America, that may have been much loftier once but have long since reached their maximum heights and begun eroding (腐蚀) away. We can even visit the eroded cores of ancient, now-departed mountains, like those widely exposed in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and northern Michigan and throughout the provinces of eastern Canada.
We can even see future mountains growing. In the rocks along Sagami Bay near Yokohama, Japan, lives a colony of clams (蛤蜊) called Lithophaga, or "rock eaters". These creatures scoop (挖) out small shelters for themselves from the soft rocks at sea level, and wait there for high tide to flood their homes and bring their meals of marine algae (海藻). At the moment of Japan's great earthquake of 1923, the land at Sagami Bay shifted upward, leaving rows of Lithophaga to starve 5 meters (16 feet) above sea level. Even higher rows of abandoned Lithophaga dwellings populate the cliffs at Sagami Bay, including one that correlates with the area's 1703 quake and another that correlates with its earthquake of 818. The rocks adjacent to the bay have risen roughly 15 meters (50 feet) during the past 2000 years.
What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A.People are mysteriously attracted to mountains.
B.People can climb different mountains every year.
C.Some mountains rise higher all the time.
D.Old, new, and ancient mountains exist.
听力原文:M: Right, let's get on to the marketing strategy.
W: Well, the marketing team believe that we should launch the product at the International Trade Fair and invite the media to a party on the evening of the 22nd.
M: The idea being that the media will be more favourable to our product if we give them some food and drinks before they write their stories.
W: Exactly! But to be honest, our product should really sell myself.
M: Well, a little marketing and promotion won't hurt. We'll be giving demonstrations at the trade fair, right?
W: Yes, all day long. It'll be a little repetitive, but ensure that everyone has a chance to see it in action.
M: Good. Did you get the budget accepted by the Board of Directors?
W: I did. We've got the full amount we asked for. That means we can go ahead with the newspaper and Internet ads.
M: And the ads in the specialist magazines. I think that those will get us the bulk of our orders.
W: I agree. They're very expensive, but they'll be worth it. I've also placed the order for the brochures. The printer will have them done by the end of next week.
M: That was a good idea of yours to have the brochure prepared even before we got the budget approved. If we hadn't done that, we'd never have been able to get the brochures printed in time.
W: Well, it was clear that we'd get the budget we asked for. The board wasn't going to risk having our product flop because of a lack of publicity, was it?
M: I wasn't entirely sure we'd get the full budget, to be honest. I've seen the board fail to put enough money into marketing and promotion before.
W: Really? How could they be so short sighted!
M: It's amazing, isn't it?
W: Tell me about it over a drink. It's been a long day!
M: You're right. I'm really looking forward to the weekend.
W: Me, too. We've got everything ready to go. I might even come in late on Monday morning!

To squeeze the most out of each shining hour we have shortened the opera, quickened the pace of the movie and put culture in pocket-sized packages. We make the busy bee look like a lazy creature, the ant like a sluggard. We live sixty-mile-minute and the great efficiency smiles.
We wish we could return to that pleasant day when we considered time a friend instead of an enemy; when we did things willingly and because we wanted to, rather than because our timetable called for it, But that of course would not be efficiency; and we Americans must be efficient.
The phrase that best expresses the main idea of this passage is ______. ()
A.the modern pace
B.our interest in shortened operas
C.how to make the best use of leisure time
D.planning our time scientifically
Why do we Dream?
For centuries, we've tried to figure out just why our brains play these nightly shows for us. Early civilizations thought dream worlds were real, physical worlds that they could enter only from their dream state. Researchers continue to toss around many theories about dreaming. Those theories essentially fall into two categories:
The idea that dreams are only physiological stimulations
The idea that dreams are psychologically necessary
Physiological theories are based on the idea that we dream in order to exercise various neural connections that some researchers believe affect certain types of learning. Psychological theories are based on the idea that dreaming allows us to sort through problems or events of the day or things that are requiring a lot of our attention. Some of these theorists think dreams might be prophetic. Many researchers and scientists also believe that perhaps it is a combination of the two theories.
Dreaming and the Brain
When we sleep, we go through five sleep stages. The first stage is a very light sleep from which it is easy to wake up. The second stage moves into a slightly deeper sleep, and stages three and four represent our deepest sleep. Our brain activity throughout these stages is gradually slowing down so that by deep sleep, we experience nothing but delta brain waves--the slowest brain waves. About 90 minutes after we go to sleep and after the fourth sleep stage, we begin REM sleep.
Rapid eye movement(REM)was discovered in 1953 by University of Chicago researchers Eugene Aserinsky, a graduate student in physiology, and Nathaniel Kleitman, Ph. D. , chair of physiology. REM sleep is primarily characterized by movements of the eyes and is the fifth stage of sleep.
How to Improve Your Dream Recall
It is said that five minutes after the end of a dream, we have forgotten 50 percent of the dream's content. Ten minutes later, we've forgotten 90 percent of its content. Why is that? We don't forget our daily actions that quickly. The fact that they are so hard to remember makes their importance seem less.
There are many resources both on the Web and in print that will give you tips on how to improve your recall of dreams. Those who believe we have a lot to learn about ourselves from our dreams are big proponents of dream journals. Here are some steps you can take to increase your dream recall:
When you go to bed, tell yourself you will remember your dreams.
Set your alarm to go off every hour and a half so you'll wake up around the times that you leave REM sleep--when you're most likely to remember your dreams.(Or, drink a lot of water before you go to bed to ensure you have to wake up at least once in the middle of the night!)
Keep a pad and pencil next to your bed.
Try to wake up slowly to remain within the "mood" of your last dream.
Common Dream Themes and Their Interpretations
Being naked in public
Most of us have had the dream at some point that we're at school, work or some social event, and we suddenly realize we forgot to put on clothes! Experts say this means:
