Answer 1

【小題1】C
【小題2】G
【小題3】A
【小題4】E
【小題5】B

解析試題分析：本文主要講述了人們對夢境的研究理論。
【小題1】C 根據下一句However, they have been valued as necessary to a person’s health and happiness.這里的however說明前一句與這句的意思相反，認為Dreams是無意義的事情。故C項符合上下文。
【小題2】G 接下來的He believed that dreams allow a person to express fantasies or fears, which would be socially unacceptable in real life都是的Sigmund Freud理論的內容，故G項正確。
【小題3】A 根據下兩句Thus, people who think too highly of themselves may dream about falling; those who think too little of themselves dream of being heroes.說明在現實生活里很成功的人在夢里可能會經歷失敗。夢里的事情可能是與現實里完全相反的內容。故A項正確。
【小題4】E 根據下句Until they reach age five, they can not express very well what their dreams are about.說明很多孩子的夢比較少，直到長大以后才后悔成年人一樣做夢。故E項符合上下文。
【小題5】B 根據最后一句The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that your loved one is going to die.說明我們不要把夢境當成真的事情，B項符合上下文語境。
