        Now and again I have had horrible dreams, but not enough of them to make me lose my delight in dreams. To begin with, I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still and then, by some queer magic, wandering into another kind of existence. As a child I could never understand why grown-ups took dreaming so calmly when they could make such a fuss about any holiday. This still puzzles me. I am mystified (迷惑的) by people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the subject. It is much more astonishing than if they said they never went out for a walk. Most people Or at least more Western Europeans do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives. They appear to see it as an irritating little habit, like sneezing or yawning.

　　I have never understood this. My dream life does not seem as important as my waking fife, if only because there is far less of it, but to me it is important. As if there were at least two extra continents added to the world, and lightning excursions running to them at any moment between midnight and breakfast. Then again, the dream fife,though queer and confusing and unsatisfactory in many respects, has its own advantages. The dead are there,smiling and talking. The part is there, sometimes all broken and confused but occasionally as fresh as a daisy. And perhaps, as Mr. Dunne tells us, the future is there too, winking at us. This dream life is often overshadowed (蒙上阴影) by huge mysterious anxieties, with luggage that cannot be packed and trains that refuse to be caught; and both persons and scenes there are not as dependable and solid as they are in waking life, so that Brown and Smith merge into one person while Robinson splits into two, and there are thick woods outside the bathroom door and the dining room is somehow 　　part of a theatre balcony; and there are moments of loneliness or terror in the dream word that are worse than anything we have known under the sun. Yet this other life has its interests, its happiness, its satisfactions, and at certain rare intervals, a serene glow or a sudden joy, like glimpses of another form of existence altogether, that we cannot match with open eyes. Silly or wise, terrible or excellent, it is a further helping of experience, a bonus after dark, another slice of life cut differently, for which, it seems to me, we are never sufficiently grateful. Only a dream! Why only? It was there and you had it.

　　"If there were dreams to sell," Beddoes inquires, "What would you pay?" I cannot say off hand, but certainly the price would be rather more than I could afford.

       六级阅读答案与解析参考：

　　DABAD

　　61.解析：由该句可知，在孩提时代，作者不能理解为什么成人谈起梦时能如此平静，但一说到度假，却夸夸其谈，大惊小怪。联系上一句，作者认为做梦时能凭借着某种神奇的魔力，漫游进入另一个世界。由此可见，他觉得大人们不会享受梦境，这很可惜。因此D项与文意相符，故为答案。

　　62.解析：文中指出：“……大多数西方人似乎都没把做梦当做他们生活的一部分。他们似乎把它看做一个恼人的小习惯，就像打喷嚏或打哈欠一样。”由此可见他们心里没把梦当回事。可知A项与原文意思相符.故为答案。

　　63.解析：该段第四句末提出梦有优势。接着展开论述：“死者在那里谈笑风生。过去的片段在那里，有时支离破碎、一片混乱，但有时，它却活灵活现。”由此可见，在梦境中，我们可以经历那些不可能的、不现实的，甚至是破碎的生活片段。故B项与文意相符，为正确答案。

　　64.解析：该句指出：“……它都是经验提供的另一份食物、黑夜提供的一份红利，是用不同方法切割出来的另一片生命蛋糕。在我看来，我们应该为此感到无尽的感激。”该句中which引导的定语从句内容与题干空格前部分相符，根据逻辑关系可知，which从句前的内容就是原因。将which前的内容进行概括后可知，我们感激梦，因为它带给我们另一种不同的生活。故A项总结得最为准确，为正确答案。

　　65.解析：最后一段第一句引出Beddoes的提问，接着是作者对关于梦的价值的回答。作者认为“……梦的价格必定是我付不起的”。由此可见，作者认为梦的价格很贵，即梦具有很高的价值。对比四个选项，只有D项符合文意。
