When I was in high school, I had a recurring(反复的) dream of my teeth falling out. I dreamt about my teeth just about every night for at least three weeks. Sometimes they would fall out one at a time, sometimes all at once. I became terrified that my dreams meant I would actually lose my teeth. Nine years later and about a million trips to the dreams, I still have a full set of teeth, but I’ve learned that when we’re experiencing stress in our lives, it tends to show up in our dreams as well．
Miller says losing teeth indicates burdens that crush your pride. If your teeth are knocked out, you’ll have sudden misfortune． Other explanations for dreams about lost teeth are that the dreamer is feeling powerless in life and may be in a transitional（过度的） period from one situation of life to another. Some experts believe that dreams of losing teeth today show we’re just as insecure and uncertain as we were in childhood．
When I dreamt about my teeth back in high school, I was trying to choose a college— a stressful decision． The dreams resurfaced when college graduation rolled around four years later and I’m sure they’ll start again when I graduate．
A little of stress in our everyday lives is normal. But sometimes it bees such a regular occurrence in our lives that it influences our dreams and causes us to lose valuable sleep. Understanding our dreams is key to identifying and ending stress in our waking hours and restoring peace to our nighttime hours．

解析：
56．答案：D解析：本题为细节理解题。宜用排除法确定答案。文章作者多次提到做此梦时候在现实的生活中经常的面对压力。而ABC三项的观点片面甚至有些唯心。
57．答案：C解析：本题为细节题。根据文章的第一、二段可以得出文章共有四种梦中掉牙的不同解释。
58．答案：C解析：本题为词义猜测题。由第三段The dreams resurfaced when college graduation rolled around four years later and I’m sure they’ll start again when I graduate．一句可知“四年后当大学即将毕业时，这个梦又重新出现了”预示着作者面临着毕业后的就业的压力。所以此处的rolled around意思是“即将到来”。
59．答案A解析：本题为推理判断题。要求学生通过全文得出合理的结论。根据第一段“I’ve learned that when we’re experiencing stress in our lives, it tends to show up in our dreams as well”可以推断出“我们的梦是现实生活经历的反映”的表述符合题意。其他的选项不符合题干的要求。
60．答案：D解析：本题为主旨大意题。要求学生通过研读全文信息，判断作者的写作意图。总观本文，可以看出这篇文章是对“梦中掉牙”的梦的不同的观点。对梦有一个正确的看法对我们来说是非常重要的。
