     Is the big city really a good place to bring up a child? Personally, I feel that it is probably the worst place
to raise a child. To me, a child's health and safety are the most important things to consider, and a big city is
simply too dangerous for young children.
     There is no doubt that a big city is not a healthy environment for a child to grow up in. Children in cities
are constantly exposed (暴露于) to pollution from cars and factories. As a result, they can develop serious
health problems which may stay with them for the rest of their lives.
     What's more, living in a big city can be dangerous for children. Since there are few parks or playgrounds,
many children are forced to play in the streets, where they are in danger of getting hurt. There is also a lot of
crime and violence (犯罪與暴力),which means that children's lives are at risk.
     On the other hand, there are usually much better education opportunities and leisure facilities (休閑設(shè)施)
in a big city than in the countryside. For instance, village schools are often not well-equipped, and children may
have to travel a long way to reach the nearest school. Similarly, a village or small town does not offer a wide
choice of sports facilities, cinemas and so on.
     In conclusion, I believe that bringing up a child in a big city has far more against it than in its favor. The
choice of schools and a wider variety of leisure facilities do not make up for the risks to a child's health and
safety.

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．a(chǎn)mazing
【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
