Now the police station has Lamborghini, Ferrari and Bentley patrol cars parked in its garage.

It is from dreams that some of the greatest inventions have bee a reality.Take for example the famous chemist Dmitri Mendeleev, it was in his dream that he figured out how to place all the elements on a periodical table. Srinivasa Ramanujan discovered thousands of mathematical equations(方程式)from his dreams. Rene Descartes, the man who built much of the framework of the modern scientific method mentioned that the basis of the method came to him in a dream.These are just a few examples of how people got the answers to some of the most plex questions from their dreams. Our subconscious(潜意识的)mind keeps trying to give us answers to questions we may struggle with, and many of these answers e to us in the form of dreams. However, most of us may struggle with recalling them.Here is a very simple exercise that can help you recall your dreams. Before going to bed, for at least 24 days (It takes around 24 days to form a habit), keep telling yourself that “I will remember all my dreams”. At first, you may not see any results at all, but dont be affected by that. Just keep doing it. After some time you will notice that vague(模糊的)memories of your dreams will stay in your mind when you wake up. These may be forgotten after a while, so make a note of it on your mobile phone or in a book.Now the fun doesnt just stop there. Try to understand what your dreams mean; see if it applies to something that is happening in your everyday life. Many of the problems we struggle with have already been solved in our amazing mind. It is all locked away in our subconsciousness waiting to be discovered. These answers e to us in the form of dreams.32. The examples given in Paragraph 2 show that _.A. successful people often dream B. dreams can help solve problemsC. famous people work hard at night D. great inventions are based on hard work33. According to the text, most people have trouble _.A. realizing their dreamsB. continuing their dreamsC. waking from their dreamsD. remembering their dreams34. When you recall a dream, you are advised to _.A. forget itB. keep it in mindC. share it with othersD. make a record of it35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Why do People DreamB. Inventions and InventorsC. The Power of Your Dreams D.
