C.these【T9】______powerful mental events
    Of all the components of a good night’s sleep, dreams seem to be least within our control.In dreams, a window opens into a world where logic is suspended and dead people speak.A century ago, Freud formulated this revolutionary theory that dreams were the disguised shadows of our unconscious desires and fears; by the late 1970s, neurologists had switched to thinking of them as just "mental noise" —the random byproducts of the neuralrepair work that goes on during sleep.Now researchers suspect that dreams are part of the mind’s emotional thermostat, regulating moods while the brain is "off-line".And one leading authority says that【T10】______can be not only harnessed but to help us sleep andfeel better."It’s your dream, " says Rosalind Cartwright, chair of psychology at Chicago’s Medical Center, "If you don’t like it, change it."
    Evidence from brain imaging supports this view.The brain is as active during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep—when most vivid dreams occur—as it is when fully awake, says Dr.Eric Nofzinger at the University of Pittsburgh.But not all parts of the brain are equally involved; the limbic system ( the "emotional brain" ) is specially active, while the prefrontal cortex (the center of intellect and reasoning ) is relatively quiet."We wake up from dreams happy or depressed, and those feelings can stay with us all day," says Stanford sleep researcher Dr.William Dement.
    The link between dreams and emotions shows up among the patients in Cartwright’s clinic.Most people seem to have more bad dreams early in the night, progressing toward happier ones before awakening, suggesting that they are【T11】______.Because our conscious mind is occupied with daily life we don’t always think about the emotional signifi-cance of the day’s events—until, it appears, we begin to dream.
    And this process need not be left to the unconscious.Cartwright believes one can exercise conscious control over recurring bad dreams.As soon as you awaken, identify what is upsetting about the dream.Visualize how you would like it to end instead; the next time it occurs,【T12】_______to control its course.With much practice people can learn to, literally, do it in their sleep.
【T11】

选项

答案B

解析 空格前一句的意思为:梦与情感之间的联系在Cartwright门诊部的患者中得到体现。空格后一句的意思为:因为我们的意识被日常琐事占据,所以我们并不总是考虑白天所发生事情对情绪的影响,直到我们开始做梦,这种影响似乎才出现。故空格所在句的意思应为:在夜里早些时候,大多数人似乎会做更多噩梦,在睡醒前逐渐转为较愉快的梦,这表示他们正在化解在白天产生的消极情感。所以,B项符合题意。
