Conversation Two

听力原文

M: (5) [Do you think dreams have special meanings?]

W: (5) [No, I don’t think they do.]

M: (5) [I don’t either, but some people do.] I would say people who believe that dreams have special meanings are superstitious, especially nowadays. In the past, during the times of ancient Egypt, Greece or China, people used to believe that dreams could foresee the future. But today, with all the scientific knowledge that we have, I think it’s much harder to believe in these sorts of things.

W: My grandmother is superstitious, and she thinks dreams can predict the future. (6) [Once, she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashed. Can you guess what she did? She didn’t take that flight.] She didn’t even bother to go to the airport the following day. Instead, she took the same flight, but a week later, and everything was fine, of course. No plane ever crashed.

M: How funny! Did you know that flying is actually safer than any other mode of transport? It’s been statistically proven. People can be so irrational sometimes.

W: Yes, absolutely. But even if we think they are ridiculous, (7) [emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.]

M: Exactly. People do all sorts of crazy things because of their irrational feelings. But in fact, some psychologists believe that our dreams are the result of our emotions and memories from that day. (8) [I think it was Sigmund Freud who said that] children’s dreams were usually simple representations of their wishes—things they wished would happen. (8) [But in adults, dreams are much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.]

W: Isn’t it interesting how psychologists try to understand using the scientific method something as bizarre as dreams? Psychology is like the rational study of irrational feelings.

8. What did psychologist Sigmund Freud say about adults’ dreams?

解析：C。在录音最后部分，男士说弗洛伊德认为，成人的梦要复杂得多，反映的是其更复杂的情感。C项与此内容相符，其中的reflect对应录音中的reflection，complicated emotions对应录音中的sophisticated sentiments，故C项为正确答案。

错项排除：录音结尾虽然提到了scientific method和irrational feelings，但只是女士针对心理学的评论，并不是弗洛伊德的观点，故排除A项和D项。B项是关于孩童梦境的观点，而不是对成人梦境的解读，属于张冠李戴，故排除。
