Dreams may be more important than sleep．Some people don't need much sleep．But we all need to dream，scientists say．
Dreams take up（占据）about one quarter of our sleeping time．People have several dreams every night．Dreams are like short films．They are usually in colour．Some dreams are like old films．They come to us over and over again．That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something．Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer．
Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams．They could have been thinking about their work all day．These thoughts can carry over into dreams．
Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream．But often we can't remember the dream．Dreams can disappear（消失）quickly from memory．
Too much dreaming can be harmful（有害的）．The more we sleep，the longer we dream．The mind is hard at work when we dream．That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired．

The world is not hungry，but it is thirsty．It seems strange that nearly 3／4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of（短缺）water．Why？Because about 97％ of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly（直接地）．Man can only drink and use the 3％ of the water that comes from rivers and lakes．And we can't even use all of that，because some of it has been polluted（污染）．
Now more water is needed．The problem is：Can we avoid（避免）a serious water shortage later on？Firstly，we should all learn how to save water．Secondly，we should find out the ways to reuse it．Scientists have always been making study in this field．Today，in most large cities，water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers．But it can be used again．Even if（即使）every large city reused its water，still there would not be enough．What could people turn to next？
The sea seems to have the best answer．There is a lot of water in the sea．All that needs to be done is to get the salt（盐）out of the sea water．This is expensive，but it's already in use in many parts of the world．Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way to do it．So you see，if we can find a way out，we'll be in no danger of drying up．
根据短文内容判断正（T）误（F）。
1．The world is thirsty because about 97％ of water on the earth can't be drunk or used for watering plants directly．
2．97％ of the earth is covered with water．
3．Man can only drink and use about 25％ of water on the earth．
4．To avoid the serious water shortage，it's the most important to try to find a cheaper way to get the salt out of the sea water．
5．The name of the passage should be“How to Save Water”．
