问题    Let us begin by saying that what does not cause our dreams. Our dreams do not come from" another" world. They are not messages from some outside source. They are not a look into the future, either.
   All our dreams have something to do with our emotions, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. But something on the" outside" may affect what we dream, ff a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping or resting on the ice and snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experiences you have today.
   So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc. ) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now. This is why very young children are likely to dream of angels, old children of school examinations, hungry people of food, homesick soldiers of their families, and prisoners of freedom.
   To show you how what is happening while you are asleep and how your wishes or needs can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of an experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of cotton. He would dream that he was in a hospital and his charming girl friend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hand.
   There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone, but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did’ net come true. In other words, a dream is a way of having your wishes carried out.
According to the passage, dreams seem to be mainly caused by ______.
选项 A、something from" another world"
B、some of people’s feelings
C、some materials people use
D、people’s uncomfortable surroundings
答案B
解析 be caused by和have something to do都讲的是原因，可定位到第二段的第一句，emotions， fears，longs和wishes都是feelings的具体表现，因此选[B]。[A]与第一段第二句不符；[C]、 [D]是作者举的具体例子，但不是引起人们做梦的主要原因，故排除。
