Broken : Dreams of Rural Peace

It was dusk in Tubney Woods, deep in rural Oxfordshire. The birds were singing at the end of another perfect day. The woman living at the edge of the forest could stand it no longer. She phoned the local noise pollution officer.

"It&39;s the rooks (秃鼻乌鸦 ) , ” she said. "I can&39;t bear that awful cawing (呱呱地叫 ) noise. Can you do something about it ？ "

The call was no surprise to officials at the Vale of White Horse District Council. 46 The countryside, as every country-dweller knows, can be a hellishly (可怕地 ) noisy place.

Last week David Stead, a West Yorkshire farmer, appeared in court in Wakefield accused of allowing his cocks to break noise regulations by crowing (打鸣 ) at dawn, waking a neighbour. 47 Six months ago Corky, a four-year-old cock, was banned from crowing after complaints in the Devon village of Stoke.

Complaints about noise reasonable or not--are at record levels in country areas. Environmental health officers say this is partly because of an increase in noisy activity. However a significant number of complaints come from newcomers to the countryside.

There are many sources of rural noise. 48 Mechanised grain driers, usually switched on for three weeks in September, can produce a maddening low-frequency hum. Mike Roberts. chief environmental health officer at Vale of White Horse, said noise often sounded worse in the countryside than in cities. With less background sound, unwelcome noises can seem louder and travel further.

The oddest complaints, however, are the ones council officials can do nothing about. Vale of White Horse officials have been asked to silence not only nesting rooks. Pigeons and pheasants (錐鸡) have also caused concern. In Kent, council officials have been asked to silence baby lambs. 49 Another insisted he could hear an alien spaceship landing over the garden fence.

"We get regular complaints. They usually come from retired people who have just moved into the country. We send them a polite letter. "

And the lady who complained about the rooks ？ She was politely told she would have to put up with it. " 50 " said Mr Roberts. "In the end, she accepted there was nothing much she could do--except move out. " It is not recorded who won, the lady or the rooks.

A. Mr Stead said they were only doing what comes naturally.

B. We asked her what we were supposed to do: shoot the birds, or chop the trees down ？

C. They have heard every kind of complaint.

D. One man rang to say he was kept awake by the splashing of a fountain in the garden next door.

E. The council will ask the farmer to move it.

F. Farm machinery is a common cause.

第4题

Our dreams combine verbal, visual and emotional stimuli into a sometimes broken, nonsensic

al but often entertaining story line. We can sometimes even solve problems in our sleep. Or can we？ Many experts disagree on exactly what the purpose of our dreams might be. Are they strictly random brain impulses, or are our brains actually working through issues from our daily life while we sleep--as a sort of coping mechanism？ Should we even bother to interpret our dreams？ Many say yes, that we have a great deal to learn from our dreams.

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:

We're trying to hide something(and without clothes we have a hard time doing that).

We're not prepared for something, like a presenta
