Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep.【R1】______But he had run into a very difficult problem: it seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.
【R2】______He tossed and turned. Then he had a nightmare. He dreamt that he had been captured by a tribe of terrible savages.【R3】______When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into a rage. He ordered his soldiers to kill Howe immediately.【R4】______But suddenly the inventor noticed something: there was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the nightmare with a start, realizing that he had just found the solution to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. 【R5】______
Elias Howe was far from being unique in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light bulb, once said that his best ideas came to him in dreams.【R6】______Charlotte Bronte also drew on her dream in writing Jane Eyre. The composer Igor Stravinsky once said the only way he could solve his problems in musical composition was to "sleep on them".
To appreciate the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep.【R7】______This unconscious but still active part digests your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information and details which you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake.【R8】______It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called "secret messages to ourselves".
A. They advanced towards him with their spears raised.
B. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein.
C. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine.
D. The king of the tribe threatened to kill and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine.
E. Even them, a part of your mind is still working.
F. In spite of his exhaustion, Howe slept very badly.
G However, the unconscious part expresses itself through its own logic and its own language.
H. This was the simple idea that finally enabled Howe to design and build the first really practical sewing machine in the world.
【R7】
选项
答案
E
解析
这段话从科学的角度解释了梦中工作的原理。选项E:“即使在那个时候,大脑的一部分还在工作”,其中的“then”指的是睡觉的时候,和前面一句话:“要鉴赏到梦的价值,你必须明白睡觉的时候发生的事情。”形成对应关系,做到了意义上的连贯。
