BThe Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam has weled home two paintings by the Dutch master, more than 14 years after they were ripped (抢) off the museums wall in a nighttime theft. Museum director Axel Rueger called their return “one of the most special days in the history of the museum”.The paintings were discovered last year by Italian police while they were searching suspected Italian criminals farmhouse near Naples for evidence of drug dealing. The two paintings were wrapped in cotton sheets. They were stuffed in a box and hidden behind a wall in a toilet when they were found.The paintings were considered among the artworks most searched for in the world. After years in darkness, they can now shine again. They are back on display at the museum before being taken to the conservation studio for repair. Fortunately, they suffered remarkably little damage as thieves who had climbed up a ladder and broken a window to get into the museum in 2004 ripped them out of their frames.“It is not only a surprise that the works have been recovered but its even more surprising that they are in relatively unharmed condition,” Rueger said.The museum director was on vacation when the call came last year from Italian authorities who believed they had recovered the paintings. He didnt celebrate right away. Hed had calls like this before.“I was hopeful but also a little hesitant. Over these years, we had so many occasions when people phoned us, contacted us, claiming that they knew something about the whereabouts (下落) of the works and each time it was false, the trace went cold.” he said. “So . the way has been full of disappointment.” But museum experts sent to Italy to check the authenticity（真实性）of the works quickly turned Rueger s doubts into delight.Rueger said the paintings are now back permanently at the museum, which is home to dozens of works by Van Gogh. “Im very confident that everything is safe in the museum from now on,” he said.54.

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 feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If 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 on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to e from the experience you have today.So the subject of your dream usually es from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping（feeling of cold, a noise, a disfort, etc. ）and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, homesick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling his hand gently!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 not e true. In other words dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out.58. From the passage we know that our dreams_.Aare imagination of our daily lifeBare mans curious look into the futureChave nothing to do with our feelingsDare to some degree connected with our feelings59. In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates（暗示）that_.Ayou are in a state of being coldByou are in a state of being tiredCyou are in a state of hungerDyou should have had your dinner that day60. Older children often dream of examinations probably because_.Athey are interested in examsBthey are often worried about their studiesCthey hope for better lifeDthey show much interest in their studies61. Some scientists explanation of dreams _.Ais not widely accepted though a bit reasonableBgives an exact description of our lifeCprovides us with information of dreamsDis of no use for usDJenny was a bright-eyed, pretty five-year-old girl.One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic(塑料) pearl (珍珠) necklace priced at $2.50. How she wanted that pearl necklace! When she asked her mother if she would buy it for her, her mother said. Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. Ill tell you what. Ill buy you the necklace, and when we get home we can make up a list of housework that you can do to pay for the necklace. And dont forget that for your birthday, Grandma just might give you a whole dollar bill, too. Okay? Jenny agreed, and her mother bought the necklace for her. Jenny worked on her housework very hard every day, and sure enough, her grandma gave her a brand-new dollar bill for her birthday. Soon Jenny had paid off the pearls. How Jenny loved those pearls. She wore them everywhere to kindergarten, bed and when she went out with her mother to run errands (跑腿). The only time she didnt wear them was in the shower. Her mother had told her that they would turn her neck green!Jenny had a very loving Daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would get up from his favorite chair every night and read Jenny her favorite story. One night when he finished the story, he said, Jenny, do you love me?Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you, the little girl said.Well, then, give me your pearls.Oh! Daddy, not my pearls! Jenny said. But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. And you can have her tea party outfit, too. Okay? Oh no, darling, thats okay. Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. Good night, little one. A week later, her father once again asked Jenny after her story, Do you love me? Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you. Well, then, give me your pearls.Oh, Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her? Shes my favorite. Her hair is so soft, and you can play with it and everything.
