SECTION B PASSAGES
Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文: In the past 20 years, scientists have learned a great deal about sleep and dreams. They have discovered, for example, that sleep and dreams affect the way people feel. A good night's sleep, generally, makes a person happier in the morning.
Dreams also have a strong effect on the moods of people. However, who appears in a dream is more important than what happens. Every person has a special dream character. If this special character appears in dreams, people are happier after sleeping. If there are many people in one's dreams, this has a good effect. A person will wake up happier.
The moods of people affect their performance throughout the day. The level of one's moods rises and fails during the day. The less sleepy people are, the better they perform. And, usually they are more friendly, more aggressive, and more clear-thinking. Someday, scientists hope to be able to manipulate sleep in order to control the way people feel and perform.
What is the passage mainly about?
A.Sleep and dreams.
B.The importance of dreams.
C.The amount of dreams.
D.Moods and attitudes.

When we think of Hollywood—a term I use loosely to describe American movie production in general, not simply films made in Los Angeles — we think of films aimed at musing audiences and making money for producers.
During the early years of the new century, as workers won their demands for higher wages and a shorter working week, leisure assumed an increasingly important role in everyday life. Amusement parks, professional baseball games, nickelodeons, and dance halls attracted a wide army of men and woman anxious to spend their hard-earned dollars in the pursuit of fun and relaxation. Yet of all these new cultural endeavours, films were the most important and widely attended source of amusement. For a mere five or ten cents, even the poorest worker could afford to take himself and his family to the local nickelodeon or storefront theatre "Every little town that has never been able to afford and maintain an opera house," observed one journalist in 1908,"now boasts one or two 'Bijou Dreams' "By 1910 the appeal of films was so great that nearly one-third of the nation flocked to the cinema each week; ten years later, weekly attendance equaled 50 percent of the nation's population.
Early films were primarily aimed at entertaining audiences, but entertainment did not always come in the form. of escapist fantasies. Many of the issues that dominated Progressive-era politics were also portrayed on the screen. "Between 1900 and 1917," observes Kevin Brownlow, "literally thousands of films dealt with the most pressing problems of the day — white slavery, political corruption, gangsterism, loansharking, slum landlords, capital vs labour, racial prejudice, etc." While most of these films were produced by studios and independent cornpanies, a significant number were made by what we might call today "special interest groups". As films quickly emerged as the nation's most popular form. of mass entertainment, they attracted the attention of a wide range of organizations that recognized the medium's enormous potential for disseminating propaganda to millions of viewers.

Yet of all these new cultural endeavors, films were the most important and widely attended source of amusement. For a mere five or ten cents, even the poorest worker could afford to take himself and his family to the local nickelodeon or storefront theatre.

By 1910, the appeal of film was so great that nearly one-third of the nation flocked to the cinema each week; ten years later, weekly attendance equaled 50 per cent of the nation's population.
