Enjoying Dinner with Friends

　　Americans, like many people elsewhere in the world, like to invite friends to their homes for an evening of food, drink and conversation．Formal dinner, in fine homes and hotels in the United States are much the same as formal dinners anywhere in the world．But as most people in the United States have no servants, their dinner parties at home are decidedly informal．Guests may sit down at a table, or, as many new small homes have no separate dining room or very small dining space, guests can also serve themselves and eat in the living room, holding their plates on their knees．

　　A more enjoyable form of entertainment is the picnic．Americans are great picnickers, and almost every family has a picnic basket．Summer invitations are often for a picnic at a park or in the open countryside．Unless hamburgers or hot dogs are cooked over a fire, picnic food is usually cold sandwiches, salads, potato chips, pickles．Watermelon is a favorite dessert, followed very often by baseball for the young and active, and naps(打盹)for the weary(疲憊的；困乏的)．

It is said that all dreams serve a purpose（目的）. While there is no agreement among scientists about why we dream, there are many ideas about the different kinds of dreams we have.
One common kind of dream is the repeating dream, in which the same story is repeated again and again, often for many months or even years. Some believe these are a sign people have a problem in their life and once that problem is gone then the dream will stop. Others think they are a way to help people remember something very important.
Another well-known kind of dream is the nightmare. The pictures and stories in such dreams make people very afraid and dreamers usually remember them far more clearly than normal dreams. The cause of such dreams may be seeing something terrifying such as a car accident or some deadly snakes. Others think such dreams may be trying to make a person pay attention to something that is dangerous in their life.
Daydreams happen during wake-time when we forget where we are or what we are doing and find ourselves in a made-up story or unreal world. We often daydream when we are doing something that is not interesting or exciting. They help us think about our future.
Lucid dreams are the most fun. These happen when dreamers suddenly understand that they are dreaming. Instead of waking up, they stay in the dream and are able to control what happens in the dream as if they are making a movie.
【小題1】The underlined word “they” (in paragraph 2) refers to “_________”.

A．dreams
B．problems
C．dream
D．scientists
【小題2】The underline word “terrifying” (in paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _________.
A．frightening
B．interesting
C．disappointing
D．amazing
【小題3】When might a person daydream?
A．During a very interesting movie.
B．While playing at a fun park.
C．While listening to an uninteresting talk.
D．When making a movie.
【小題4】How do we know if we are lucid dreaming?
A．We can remember the dream very clearly.
B．We can control what happens in the dream.
C．We think that the dream is like a movie.
D．We feel very nervous after we wake up.
【小題5】What is the best title of the passage?
A．Daydream of You
B．Enjoy Your Dream
C．What Dreams Mean
D．Where Dreams Go
