1. Dreams play an important role in our lives. If they can be correctly interpreted, we can come to understand ourselves better. Here,we look at four common dreams and what they potentially symbolize.
2. I can see their laughing faces...laughing at me. But they aren’t as smart. If they were ,they’d be up here flying with me ! This dream has both positive and negative connotations(涵义). On the positive side,the dream may express a strong desire to travel and get away from everyday routine. It can also be interpreted as a powerful desire to achieve. On the other hand, this dream can mean the person has a problem or is afraid of something and they wish to escape. The dream could represent an inferior- ity complex(自卑情结),which the dreamer attempts to escape from by putting themselves up above others.
3. I’m moving fast now ,but it’s still behind me. Doesn’t matter how fast I go ,I still can’t escape. Although this is a traditional symbol of health and vitality(生命力)like the first one,it can also suggest the dreamer is trying to escape from danger. Usually,fear is the dominant emotion. By running hard,the dreamer can possibly escape the threat. However,they can also stumble(蹒跚) or worse still stop moving altogether. This makes the fear even more terrifying(__的). One possible interpretation suggests that the person is under pressure in their everyday life.
4. I’m sweating and my heart is beating. I’m trapped in my own bed. In this dream,the person is often standing on a high,exposed place such as on the top of a tower,or on the edge of a cliff. The overwhelming(强烈的)feeling changes from anxiety to a loss of control. There is nothing to stop the person,and the feeling as they go over the edge can be horrifyingly(__地) real. Fortunately,just before hitting the ground, the dreamer awakens with a sense of enormous relief. This dream suggests that the dreamer is afraid of losing control and has a fear of failure or even death.
5. The wind is pushing me and I slip. There’ s nothing I can do...nothing I can hold on to. This symbol is associated with fear: suddenly the dreamer loses all power of movement. They try hard to move their arms and legs. but they simply cannot. Frozen in a terrifying situation with no escape,they become more and more terrified as the seconds go by. Another frequent context for this dream is failing to do something in public,often something which you are normally very good at,such as your job. Not only is this extremely embarrassing,but it also shows a deep seated phobia(恐惧)of losing a job and a livelihood.

One of the most common injuries teenagers and adults experience is a sprained ankle. A sprain occurs when the ligaments(韧带)of a joint are twisted(扭伤) and possibly torn. Ligaments are bands of fibers that hold the bones of a joint in position. A sprain can occur from a sudden twisting at the joint, or a stretching or tearing of the fibers of the ligaments. The injured area usually swells(肿胀) and becomes black and blue. Stepping off the sidewalk at the wrong angle or having one foot land in a hole while walking or running can leave you rolling on the ground in pain with an ankle on fire! If you cannot walk without experiencing intense pain,you must seek medical help. If the pain is manageable,and you can walk,here are three words to help you remember how to treat yourself:
■ Elevate(抬高)
■ Cool
■ Bandage (打绷带 )
As soon as there is injury to that ligament, there will be a certain amount of bleeding under the skin. Once the blood pools around the damaged blood vessels, swelling occurs. The pressure from the swelling results in additional stress and tenderness to the region. In order to reduce the degree of swelling, lie down as soon as possible and keep the ankle elevated so that it is actually higher than your heart. Next,to reduce blood distribution and keep bleeding to a minimum,apply a cold pack. After 20 minutes, take the pack off,wait half an hour and then reapply. This can be done several times a day for a total of three days.
Never leave a cold pack on for more than 20 minutes at a time. Reducing the temperature in that area for an extended period of time signals the body to increase blood flow to raise the body temperature! Therefore,one accidentally triggers more blood distribution to the affected area by leaving a cold pack on for too long! Finally,bandage the ankle. Be careful not to wind it too tightly;doing so can restrict blood flow and cause harm to the entire foot.
A sprain is caused by

A:blood vessels being hurt in the foot. B:constantly changing body temperature. C:ligament fibers of a joint being twisted. D:elevating one’s ankl

Most people say that the USA is making progress in fighting AIDS,but they don’t know there’s no cure and strongly disagree that"the AIDS epidemic(流行)is over,"a new survey finds.
The findings, released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, reassure activists who have worried that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatment and declines in deaths.
"While people are very optimistic about the advances, they’ re still realistic about the fact that there is no cure",says Sophia Chang,director of HIV programs at the foundation.
The Kaiser survey,like a recent USA TODAY Gallup Poll(民意测验),does find that the number of people ranking AIDS as the country’s top health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser poll,38% say it’s the top concern,down from 44% in a 1996 poll;in the Oallup Poll, 29% say AIDS is No. 1,down from 41%in 1992 and 67% in 1987.
Other findings from Kaiser, which polled more than 1,200 adults in September and October and asked additional questions of another 1,000 adults in November:
52% say the country is making progress against AIDS,up from 32% in 1995.
51% say the government spends too little on AIDS.
86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen lives; an equal number correctly say that the drugs are not cures.
67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increased or stayed the same in the past year;24% know deaths fell.
Daniel Zingale,director of AIDS Action Council,says,"I’m encouraged that the American people are getting the message that the AIDS epidemic isn’t over. I hope the decision-makers in Washington are getting the same message... We have seen signs of complacency(得意). /
Most people in the USA believe that

A:advances have been made in treating AIDS. B:AIDS is no longer an epidemic. C:AIDS is killing more people than before. D:there is still no cure for AIDS.
