• 1．Arthur Miller （1915-2005）is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century．Miller's father had moved to the USA from AustriaHungary，drawn like so many others by the"Great American Dream"．However，he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s．
     Miller's most famous play，Death of a Salesman，is a powerful attack on the American system，with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth．In Willy Loman，the hero of the play，we see a man who has got into trouble with this system．Willy is"burnt out"and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment：if he can't do the work，then he is no good to his employer，the Wagner Company，and he must go．Willy is painfully aware of this，and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success．He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end．
     When it was first staged in 1949，the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews，and it won the Tony Award for Best Play，the New York Drama Critics'Circle Award，and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama．It was the first play to win all three of these major awards．
     Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury，Connecticut，on the evening of February 10，2005，the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway．

• 3．Why do we dream？It's a question researchers have been studying for years．Now new research suggests that some dreams may result from the brain's effort to keep learning，even as we sleep．
  In a study in Boston，100 volunteers were trained for an hour on a maze（迷宫）．They tried to find their way through the difficult puzzle as quickly as possible．Then half of the volunteers were allowed to sleep for 90 minutes．The other half stayed awake，reading or relaxing．The ones who slept were asked to describe their dreams when they woke up．
  After the rest，the volunteers were asked again to solve the maze．Those who hadn't slept showed no improvement or did even worse after the break．Sleepers who didn't report any mazerelated dreams did better but showed only a little improvement．However，four naptakers who reported dreaming about the maze showed a surprising improvement．They scored 10 times higher after sleeping and dreaming about the maze．
  Even though the number of dreamers was small，the researchers noted that the gap in learning between the dreamers and nondreamers was so wide that the finding was significant（有意义的）．
  The dreamers had all performed poorly on the test before dreaming about it．That suggests that struggling with a task might be the trigger that leads the sleeping brain to focus on it and work on how to deal with it．
  "It's almost as if your brain is going through everything that happened today，"Dr．Stickgold，a scientist at Harvard Medical School，said．"The things you're obsessed（迷住） with are the ones that your brain forces you to continue to do with．"
  
  （1）What were the volunteers asked to do after the rest？

  
  A．To work on a new maze．
  B．To continue to do the maze．
  C．To talk with each other about their dreams．
  D．To tell what they thought about the maze．
  （2）According to the study，which group showed the greatest improvement？

  
  A．Those who didn't sleep．
  B．Those who slept but didn't dream．
  C．Those who dreamed about the maze while sleeping．
  D．Those who thought about the maze before falling asleep．
  （3）The underlined word"trigger"in Paragraph 5 probably means"

  "．
  A．chance
  B．cause
  C．way
  D．idea．
