问题 Nowand again I have had horrible dreams,but not enough of them to make me lose mydelight in dreams.To begin with,I like the idea of dreaming,of going to bedand lying still and then,by some queer magic,wandering into another kind ofexistence.As a child I could never understand why grown-ups took dreaming socalmly when they could make such a fuss about any holiday.This still puzzlesme.I am mystified by people who say they never dream and appear to have nointerest in the subject.It is much more astonishing than if they said theynever went out for a walk.Most people or at least more Western Europeans donot seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives.They appear to see it as anirritating little habit,like sneezing or yawning.I havenever understood this.My dream life does not seem as important as my wakinglife,if only because there is far less of it,but to me it is important.As ifthere were at least two extra continents added to the world,and lightningexcursions running to them at any moment between midnight and breakfast.Thenagain,the dream life,though queer and confusing and unsatisfactory in manyrespects,has its own advantages.The dead are there,smiling and talking.Thepart is there,sometimes all broken and confused but occasionally as fresh as adaisy.And perhaps,as Mr.Dunnetells us,the future is there too,winking at us.This dream life is oftenovershadowed by huge mysterious anxieties,with luggage that cannot be packedand trains that refuse to be caught;and both persons and scenes there are notas dependable and solid as they are in waking life,so that Brown and Smithmerge into one person while Robinson splits into two,and there are thick woodsoutside the bathroom door and the dining room is somehow part of a theaterbalcony;and there are moments of loneliness or terror in the dream world thatare worse than anything we have known under the sun.Yet this other life hasits interests,its happiness,its satisfactions,and at certain rare intervals,a serene glow or a sudden joy,like glimpses of another form of existencealtogether,that we cannot match with open eyes.Silly or wise,terrible orexcellent,it is a further helping of experience,a bonus after dark,anotherslice of life cut differently,for which,it seems to me,we are neversufficiently grateful.Only a dream!Why only?It was there and you hadit."If there were dreams to sell,"Beddoes inquires,"What wouldyou pay?"I cannot say off hand,but certainly the price would be rathermore than I could afford.When the author was young,he thought that_______.查看材料A.bydreaming people could live a better life indeedB.hewas puzzled by the mysterious quality of dreamsC.itwas astonishing that adults loved holidays so muchD.itwas a pity that adults could not enjoy dreams

选项 A.bydreaming people could live a better life indeed
B.hewas puzzled by the mysterious quality of dreams
C.itwas astonishing that adults loved holidays so much
D.itwas a pity that adults could not enjoy dreams

答案 D

解析推断题。根据第一段中的“As a child I could never understand why grown—ups took dreaming SOcalmly when they could make such a fuss about any holiday”可知，在孩提时代，作者不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。上一句提到作者认为做梦时能凭借着某种神奇的魔力，漫游另一个世界。由此可推断，他觉得成人不会享受梦很可惜，故本题选D。
