閱讀測驗是很多考生畏懼的英文題型之一，其實閱題測驗的的解題並不難，因為外國人寫文章都愛用破題法，只要看第一段即可知道文章大概在講什麼內容。例如在此篇文章一開始，就有提到“dream”(夢)，所以文章一定跟”夢”有關。

Dreams are a fascinating subject. Many psychologists today say
|
|
|
that dreams are the bridge between our conscious and unconscious
|
|
|
mind. They suggest that you try to write down the dreams that you
|
|
|
remember as soon as you wake up. Then, you can try to interpret
|
|
5
|
them by comparing the dream with situations in your life.（Most
|
|
|
dreams relate to things that happened in the past 24 to 48 hours.）
|
|
|
Sometimes dreams may explain things you are trying to suppress;
|
|
|
other times they might relate to things that are troubling or depressing
|
|
|
you. In general, dreams relate to familiar events and have reasonable
|
|

|
explanations. If you are receptive to this kind of analysis, answers will
|
|
|
tend to emerge. Most researchers also agree that the dreamer
|
|
|
himself will usually come up with the best interpretation of his dream
|
|
|
since no one else has had his exact experiences.
