Read the passage and answer the questions A. Consistent with the psychoanalytic perspective, Sigmund Freud's theory of dreams suggests that dreams are a representation of unconscious desires, thoughts and motivations. According $\to$ Freud. people are driven by aggressive and sexual instincts that are repressed from conscious awareness. While these thoughts are not consciously expressed, they find their way into our awareness via dreams. In his famous book The Interpretation of Dreams (1899), Freud wrote that dreams are "...disguised fulfillments of repressed wishes." Freud's theory contributed $\to the popularity of dream$ interpretation. Following his paths many theorists came up with their own ideas about dreams. The following are just a few of them : Some researchers suggest that dreams are a subjective interpretation of signals generated by the brain during sleep. Dreams are not meaningless. Instead, during dreams the cognitive elements in our brain produce new ideas. One theory suggests that dreams are the result of our brains trying $\to interpret external stimuli during$ sleep. For example, the sound of the radio may be incorporated into the content of a dream. Another theory uses a computer metaphor $\to account for$ dreams. According $\to this$ theory, dreams serve $\to$ 'clean $up^{\prime} clutter from the$ mind, much like clean-up operations in a computer, refreshing the mind $\to prepare for the next$ day. Yet another model proposes that dreams function as a form of psychotherapy. In this theory, the dreamer is able $\to make connections between different thoughts and emotions in a safe$ environment.

10.Read the following text and answer the questions. [Unit- 12; Lesson- 2(New)] Greta Thunberg is an environmental activist. She was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2003. When she was eight, she started learning about climate change. The more she learned, the more baffled she became as $\to why so little was being done about$ it. At the age of 11, Greta became so sad about climate change that she temporarily stopped speaking! Greta has Asperger syndrome,, a condition that affects how people socialise. But Greta views her condition as a positive, calling it her "superpower"!

Instead of going $\to$ school, she made a large sign that read 'Skolstrejk för Klimatet"; SCHOOL STRIKE FOR $CLIMATE^{\prime}, and calmly sat down outside the Swedish$ parliament. Her aim? $\to make politicians take notice and act \to stop global$ warming. Greta's strike was picked up by the Swedish media, and the word started $\to$ spread. Soon enough, tens of thousands of students from around the world joined her #FridaysforFuture strikes skipping school on Fridays $\to protest against climate$ change. In March 2019, climate campaigners across the world, and inspired by Greta, came together $\to co-ordinate the first Global Strike for$ Climate. Over 1.6 million people from 125 countries took part! Since her strike began, Greta's life has become a whirlwind! She's given rousing speeches $\to$ politicians, $\to the EU$ parliament, the UK parliament, $\to protesters and$ more. She's appeared in documentaries and had loads of books and articles written about her. She's even been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize!
