READING. Read this text and then complete tasks A and B 8 x 0.25=2 marks

Every night when you fall asleep, you enter a strange world, somewhere where anything is possible- animals talk and
people can fly. It’s the world of dreams.
Everybody dreams every night, but we don’t dream for all of the night. In a normal night we have four or five periods of
dreaming. They last about one or two hours altogether. Sometimes when we wake up, we remember nothing about our
dreams. We remember them if we wake up while we’re actually dreaming. And we forget dreams very quickly.
Nobody knows why we dream. Most scientists believe that you dream because your brain is classifying information. A
lot of things happen in a normal day. While you’re asleep, your brain looks at everything and puts some things into your
memory and throws some things away.
Some people believe that dreams can predict the future. Andrew Drake, for example, is a writer who dreamt about a
horse race and he saw the winner. It was number 11. The next day he looked in the newspaper and found that number
11 was a horse called Star Boy. He put some money on it and the horse won. However, sleep expert Dr. Alison Steward
thinks that what happened to Andrew was just a coincidence. Many times we dream about things and then they don’t
happen.
