communication with the divine or spiritual realm
inspired by dreams to paint
a reflection of one's subconscious thoughts

Dreams hold great importance in various cultures around the world. In western cultures, dreams are often seen as a reflection of one's subconscious thoughts and desires. They are often analyzed and interpreted to gain insight into one's psyche. In contrast, Eastern cultures view dreams as a means of communication with the divine or spiritual realm. Dreams are seen as messages from ancestors and are given great significance. People have been inspired by dreams to paint, write poetry, and create philosophies. Sometimes the course of human events has been changed as the result of a dreamer acting on his or her dreams.

补全后的短语

responsible for assessing the emotional significance of information
when a threat isn't evident
known as the fight or flight reaction

Within the brain is a complex network of structures called the limbic (边缘) system that controls our emotions, memories and behaviors. One of the main functions of this system is to warn us of danger and trigger a fear response, known as the fight or flight reaction. This also translates into how the brain experiences anxiety and its associated conditions. One particular structure is responsible for assessing the emotional significance of information and whether or not the fight or flight response should be triggered. When the structure is too easily triggered or is "turned on" when a threat isn't evident, this can lead to the development of anxiety disorders.

介绍边缘系统如何触发恐惧及焦虑障碍。

大脑中有一套复杂结构，称为边缘系统，控制情绪、记忆和行为。其主要功能之一是警告危险并触发恐惧反应，即所谓的战斗或逃跑反应。这也关系到大脑如何体验焦虑。某一结构负责评估信息的情绪意义，并决定是否触发该反应。当它过于容易被触发，或在威胁并不明显时被“打开”，就可能导致焦虑障碍。

eventually float out to sea
the vast iceberg has been breaking away
separated from the main ice shelf
because of the massive size of the iceberg

Antarctica has lost an iceberg the equivalent size of Greater London. The iceberg measuring 1,550 square kilometers separated from the main ice shelf. The split is part of a natural process known as calving. It is the second iceberg to break off in two years because of a major crack in the Brunt Ice Shelf. Pictures captured by satellite show that the vast iceberg has been breaking away since 2012. The floating ice shelf is an extension of Antarctica. As it extends, its link to Antarctica breaks. The new iceberg will eventually float out to sea. Although cracks around the edges of Antarctica are common and blamed on climate change, this one is an exception. Scientists monitoring the breakage say it is a significant event because of the massive size of the iceberg. Fortunately, the research scientists recently moved station and are not currently based on the iceberg.

南极布朗特冰架裂出一块相当于大伦敦面积的冰山。

南极失去了一块相当于大伦敦面积的冰山。这块1550平方公里的冰山已与主冰架分离。分裂属于称为“崩解”的自然过程。这是两年内因布朗特冰架一条大裂缝而断裂的第二块冰山。卫星照片显示，这座巨大冰山自2012年以来一直在断裂离去。

漂浮的冰架是南极的延伸。随着它延伸，与南极的连接会断开。新冰山最终会漂向大海。尽管南极边缘的裂缝很常见并常被归咎于气候变化，这一次却是例外。监测断裂的科学家称，因其体积巨大，这是一次重大事件。幸好科研人员最近已转移站点，目前并不驻扎在这块冰山上。
