Mr. White is a blind man who likes traveling alone. However, as a blind man, he has met a lot of troubles during his trips.

Once Mr. White traveled to Texas. It was his first time to go there. On the plane, he sat next to a woman who came from Texas. The woman told him that everything was bigger and better in her city. When Mr. White arrived, he found a hotel and decided to spend the night there.

After dinner, Mr. White went to a wine bar and ordered a glass of wine. When the waiter brought him one, he was surprised. “Wow! How big!” he said. Mr. White doesn’t drink often, so he was a little drunk after drinking the wine. He wanted to go to the restroom, so he asked another waiter for directions. “Turn right at the information desk and it is the second door on the right,” said the waiter.

When Mr. White walked past the first door, he fell down. He missed the second and went towards the third door instead. He walked forward and then fell into the swimming pool. At that time he remembered that everything there was bigger. “Don’t flush(冲洗)! Don’t flush!”He shouted as soon as he got his head above the water.

 Do you remember your dreams? Do people have the same dreams? Why do we dream? There are many questions about dreams. We dream during the REM (rapid eye movement) stage of sleep. We have about five periods of REM sleep during the night. The first REM cycle lasts about 10 minutes. As the night goes on, the REM cycle gets longer. By early morning, the REM cycle can last up to 90 minutes. Usually, it is in this last REM cycle that we remember our dreams.

  Dreams change as people age. People may have several dreams each night. Some are like films and usually in color. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something and trying to find the answer. Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can’t remember the dreams clearly.

It is reported that too much dreaming is bad for our health. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work. That is why we may have a long sleep and still feel tired when we wake up.

（2016年重庆）Many homes have cameras to protect them from danger. The cameras can tell the owners if someone has entered. But the cameras do not know whether the person is a family member, a friend, a postman or a criminal (罪犯).

But a new camera made by a French company can recognize (辨别出) faces. It can tell parents at work that their children have returned from school, or that the mail has been sent to their home. It can also tell them if a stranger has entered their home. When family members enter a home, the smart camera "recognizes" them and sends information to the owner's phone. The owner can choose to see the video then or later. But if an unknown person enters a home, the camera will send a warning sound on the owner's phone.

This is what happened recently to a smart home camera owner named Damien. He lives in Paris.

"On a Friday I was at work, having a big monthly meeting when my phone moved. At first I told myself ‘Oh, it must be a wrong warning,’ but my phone was telling me there was a face that the camera did not recognize. Something was happening in my house!"

"I saw a person I did not know with his shoes on, which is not allowed in my apartment (公寓). I watched it on the video. I felt quite surprised. I hurried back home as fast as possible and called the police on the way. Thanks to the smart camera, the criminal was caught soon," said Damien.

The new smart camera is different from the ones in many homes because it can _________.

In Damien's apartment, people can't _______.

The underlined word "warning" in Para. 2 means __________.

Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage?
