【主旨大意】本篇短文介绍了一篇科普小短文，一般认为做梦可以预测未来，其实梦是个人对于自身经历和体验的重新再现，从这点科学家可以解释梦仅仅是大脑的对事物的部分映射，片面的可以理解为预测。
61. C 通读上下文，特别由上文的做梦可以预测未来、下文中也题到了our brain可知，也就正如我们的“大脑”在和我们说话，因此选择答案C.
62. D 为什么梦常常是奇怪的难以理解的？实际情况也是这样，而不是很少或从来没有。 63. A 结合上下文，做梦能预测未来只是一种标志或符号，并不是例子或图片。
64. A 做梦中的飞或什么的，只能具有特殊的意思，不会和实际相同或有什么伟大意义。 65. C 我们平常也说“解梦”，understand the dreams.
66. A 总结本段意思就是：做梦可以预测未来，也就是梦可以告诉我们对未来的恐怖与希望hopes. 67. B 通读全文，概括本段意思，科学家相信梦时候总要的，并非怀疑、担心或回答。
68. A 空后的and是并列连词，后面是大脑得到很多信息；前面是我们有很多的经历experiences. 69. C 这里解释了做梦就是大脑摒弃（throw away）了不重要的信息，保留了重要的。 70. D 我们的大脑是把重要信息储存在记忆力memories里面,才形成了梦。
