Love and Friendship

   They are both so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic(柏拉图式的) friendship possible between persons of the opposite sex? _1. _

     What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friends will understand why we acted in a certain way. 2. The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.

    _3. _ In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above is taken for granted. But love transcends(超出) all this. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element. __4. __ This is a vital difference. Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.

    Your heart beats will never increase in anticipation of meeting your friend. _5. __ You will not feel totally lost, if you don’t meet your friend for a few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friend. But in love, you will do all this and much more. Indeed, there is no comparison between love and friendship.

  The Meanings of Dreams

Sleep and dreams have interested people for centuries. Scientists are learning more about sleep, but they still know very little about why we dream.

   1.   First, we have most of our dreams during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. At this time, the brain is very active. Second, everyone dreams – even if we cannot remember doing so when we awaken.    2.   While we are asleep, it works more slowly and sometimes puts our thoughts and memories together in strange ways.

   3.   Some believe that our dreams are associated with thoughts and feelings that we experience while we are awake. Many dream researchers think that a dream about death, for example, is really about an important life change.    4.   Dreams about a car or travel often represent feelings about your own life. Dreams about teeth – especially broken or loose ones may indicate stress and fear. Dreams in which you are flying often represent freedom or escape.

Researchers think people in our dreams can tell us something about ourselves. If the person in the dream was yelling (叫喊), for example, maybe you are angry.    5.   

There is still a lot about dreaming that we do not understand. By learning more about our dreams, we may learn more about ourselves.

A.Dreams may be more important than sleep.

B.Scientists do not know for certain why we dream.

C.If he or she was terrified, then maybe you are afraid of something.

D.Modern research can tell us some important things about dreams.

E. There are three things you should pay attention to to have a sweet dream.

F. Finally, a part of our brain helps us to understand daily experiences we have.

G. Dreams about telephones are thought to be about giving or receiving an important message.
