Unit 3 Inventors and inventionsⅠ.阅读理解AEarly one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run around the needle without any problems.Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practical sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious (无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to us”．篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。

1．【答案】A【解析】“通知说”在英文中常用read的主动形式。
2．【答案】D【解析】由上文读到的通知可以知道，The word是一直“萦绕”在我的脑海里，只有wander有“徘徊”的意思。
3．【答案】B【解析】句意：对我的祖母来说，它有“另一个”意思。
从语法上来看，也只有another 可以接单数可数名词。

When it comes to…“当……的时候”是习惯用法。

14．【答案】D【解析】drop sb.off表示顺道把某人放下；显然是顺道让“我”下车。
15．【答案】A【解析】从上文的shocked可以得知，应为struggle with cancer“与癌症作斗争”。
16．【答案】B【解析】作者很感动，所以流下了眼泪。
17．【答案】B【解析】由“I used to do thing for others”可以看出女邻居说“我以前常常为别人做事”，but转折表明每个人都帮助她。
