      With new appearances of underground and local idols, the idol industry is attracting many young people whose dream of becoming a popular idol is no longer so impossible. The growing industry, however, has many problems. Author and idol authority Nakamori Akio talks about those problems.
      “First of all, people don’t really understand what an idol is or does. I define an idol as a job in which you work to get people to like you.” Nakamori warns those who want to become idols to be careful in choosing an agent and points out the importance of the contract. “The problem now is that there are too many idols. The idol group AKB48 alone has several hundred members. And while there is no accurate count, if you include local idols and so-called underground idols, the number is probably over 10,000. Problems are increasing in direct proportion to the numbers and the increase in nonprofessional operations.”
      Nakamori suggests that to help sustain the industry, schools should allow “idol clubs” as part of their
extracurricular activities as one way to ensure adult supervision and responsible management. “Extracurricular clubs in schools are managed by teachers. A school also provides a safe environment that would allow for a certain degree of self-management by the students. Schools already have drama clubs and dance clubs. I think the reason schools don’t yet have idol clubs is the general idea that being an idol is somehow a ‘lightweight’ profession. But idols do many things. Some dance and sing; others compose music or design costumes. Some even act as producers. I don’t see why these activities couldn’t be combined into a school idol club.”
      Another factor that has hindered the formation of idol clubs at schools is the conservative nature of the industry. “That’s because an idol is viewed as a role model,” says Nakamori. “The tendency is to imitate and copy,which reduces the creative aspects of the profession. The current idol image is no different from what we had back in the 1970s with Pink Lady or the Candies. AKB48, with its large numbers, is based on a system developed long ago by the Takarazuka revue (寶塚歌劇團). As staged entertainment, I don’t see much development since the 1970s.”

第一篇:
       It is believed that dreams sometimes help us solve problems. It is also proposed that a critical aspect of dreaming lies in the processing of memories.
       Researcher Erin Wamsley designed a study in which participants explored a virtual maze, trying to learn its layout. Then she let them take a 90-minute nap. After their nap, she asked them whether they remembered dreaming about the task and then tested them on the maze again. The results were astonishing. Participants who had no memory of dreaming about the task took, on average, one and a half minutes longer to find their way out of the maze after their naps. However, those who reported that they had dreamed about it found their way out two and a half minutes faster than before. Erin then repeated the experiment by actually waking subjects to collect dream reports and identify those whose dreams were related to the task. She found that the latter showed almost 10 times more improvement after their naps compared with the participants who reported no related dreams.
       What exactly did they dream about? One participant reported: “I was thinking about the maze…, and then that led me to a cave trip I had a few years ago. The cave is maze-like.” Another recalled hearing the music played in the background while exploring the maze.
       Dreams like these seemed unlikely to help participants enhance their memories of the maze’s layout. And yet they were reported by the very participants who showed the greatest improvement. The sleeping brain was both enhancing its memory of the maze layout and creating related dreams. So, these dreams must be serving some other function. But what?
       Perhaps some strategy you learned while exploring a cave will help you the next time you try the maze task. Conversely, maybe something you learned from the maze task will help you next time you’re down in a cave. Your brain suddenly realizes, hey, exploring mazes and caves is really the same thing. It is a perfect example of the function of dreaming that researchers like Erin Wamsley propose: the extraction of new knowledge from existing information through the discovery of unexpected associations.

【題組】4. What does “they” in the first line of the fourth paragraph refer to?
(A) Mazes.
(B) Dreams.

(D) Brains.
