Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness offinger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.The ridge (脊状) structure on a person's fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed. Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer's ink. They can be recorded easily.With special methods, identification (识别)can be achieved successfully within a short time. Because of the simplicity and low cost of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Special techniques are used to “print” them. Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.4．Scientists and experts have proved that the pattern of a human being's finger skin____.

If a person is hungry , or tired or cold , his dreams may include a feeling of this kind．If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on the ice and snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has an effect on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc．) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now．This is why children arelikely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom．To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream , here is the story of the experiment．A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton．He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him , sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands!There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanations of dreams , though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem．They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that do not come true．In other words, dreams are a way of having your wishes carried out．8．From the passage we know that our dreams ___________.A．are connected with our feelingsB．are man’s curious look into the futureC．have nothing to do with our feelingsD．are imagination of our daily life9．Older children often dream of examinations probably because ___________.A．they are interested in examsB．they hope for a better lifeC．they are often worried about their studiesD．they show much interest in their studies10．According to the writer, the explanation of dreams that some scientists made ___________.
