I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom would not let go.”You and I can identify with (理解) that little boy.

14、 We have scars, too. No, not from alligator, or anything quite so dramatic . But the scars of a painful past. Some of those scares are ugly and have caused us deep regret.But some wounds, my friend, are because someone has refused to let go. In your struggle, maybe someone has been there holding on

20、itical period in our childhood when watching films has a big impact on the way dreams are formed”, said Eva Murzyn, a psychology student at Dundee University in Britain who carried out the study.Research from 1915 through the 1950s suggested that the vast majority of dreams are in black and white. B

21、ut the tide(潮流) turned in the sixties, and later results suggested that up to 83 percent of dreams contain some color.Since this period also marked the transition(过渡) between black-and-white film and TV and Technicolor(印染法彩色)，an obvious explanation was that the media had been painting peoples dreams

22、. However, there werent any firm conclusions.But now Miss Murzyn believes she has proven the link. She made a survey of more than 60 people, half of whom were over 55 and half of whom were under 25.She asked the volunteers to answer a questionnaire on the color of their dreams and their childhood ex

23、posure to film and TV.She then analyzed her own data. Only 4.4 percent of the under-25s dreams were black and white.

28、iod between 3 and 10 is an important time in forming dreams.D. The 1960s was a time which marked a transition in dream color.28. In which magazine can you find the article?A.TV And Film Reviews B. Psychology(心理学)Analysis C. Aging Healthily D. New ScientistCElectric cars are dirty. In fact, not only

29、are they dirty, but they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions (排放) vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Apart from the few p

30、eople who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators (发电机). Generators are fueled by something-usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal (地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricity ma

33、y drive your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas wont get you nearly as far-so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones.

And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When its a power plant, t
