9．No one knows why people dream，but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn．In a recent study，scientists found a connection between nap-time （午睡时间） dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill．
So perhaps one way to learn something new is to practice，practise，practise---and then sleep on it．
"I was surprised by this finding，"Robert Stickgold，a Harvard University scientist who led the study．
In the study，100 college students each spent an hour on a computer，trying to get through a virtual maze （虚拟迷宫）．The maze was difficult，and the study participants had to start in a different place each time they tried---making it even more difficult．
Then，for the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break，half of the participants were required to stay awake while half were told to sleep．Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts．Participants who slept were asked to describe any dream they had．
Stickgold and his colleagues wanted to know about NREM，or non-REM sleep．REM stands for"rapid eye movement"，which is what happens during REM sleep．This period of sleep often brings strange dreams to a sleeper，although dreams can happen in both kinds of sleep．Stickgold wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren't moving，during NREM sleep．Other studies have found a connection between NREM bring activity and learning ability．
Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were about the maze．Later，when these four people tried the computer maze again，they were able to complete it faster．
Stickgold believes the dream itself doesn；t help a person learn---it's the other way around．He suspects that such dreams are caused by the brain processes associated with learning．
All the maze-dreamers had done the task poorly the first time，which makes Stickgold wonder if the NREM dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult．People who had other dreams，or people didn't sleep，didn't show the same improvement．

7．Young Jack moved to a new house．When entering his new bedroom，he saw that it was full of toys but it was tidy．That day he played all he liked，but went to bed without tidying up．
The next morning，when Jack got up，he found all the toys had been put back in their proper places．He was sure that no one had entered his bedroom，but the boy didn't pay much attention to it．The exact same thing happened that day，and the next day．But on the fourth day when he went to get his favourite toy，the toy jumped out of his hands and said，"I don't want to play with you!"
Jack felt surprised，but the same happened with every toy he touched．Finally，one toy said to him：
"We don't want to play with you．You always leave us so far away from our proper places．You don't know how arduous  it is for us to climb back up onto the shelves，or jump into the box．We feel most uncomfortable and unhappy．You don't know how uncomfortable and cold the floor is!We don't play with you any more if you don't promise to leave us in our proper places before you go to bed．"
Jack remembered how comfortable he felt in his bed and how bad he felt when he had once slept in a chair．He realized how badly he had treated his friends，the toys．He asked for their forgiveness（原谅），and from that day on he always put his toys nicely in their proper places before he got into bed．

Billie cleaned floors and did other jobs for the theater so that she could listen to the records．It was there that young Billie first heard the records of some famous black American blues artists of the 1920s．She heard Bessie Smith sing the blues．And she heard Louis Armstrong play the horn．Both musicians had a great influence （影响） on her．
Billie Holiday once said，"I do not think I'm singing．I feel like I am playing a horn．What comes out is what I feel．I hate straight singing．I have to change a tune to my own way of doing it．That is all I know．"

4．Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride，Lanarkshire，was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred（留下创伤） her for life．The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame．
Her mother Ruby turned round and，seeing Ammie horribly burnt，called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital．Twenty percent of Ammie's body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree．There，using tissue taken from unburned areas of Ammie's body，doctors performed complex skin transplants to close her wounds and control her injuries，an operation that took about six hours．Over the next 16 years，Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body．
When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4，other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn't play with her．"I was the only burned child in the street，the class and the school，"she recalled，"some children refused to become friends because of that．"
Today，aged 17，Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars； pain is a permanent part of her body．She still has to have two further skin transplants．Yet she is a confident，outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims．

11．One cold January evening in Philadelphia，Pennsylvania，America，I went with my father on an oil burner service call．My father was in his forties at that time and I was about twelve years old．He was always working hard trying to support us seven kids．I enjoyed hanging out with him whenever I could-he taught me so much．
We arrived at the call and after walking over snow and ice，we knocked on the customer's door．A senior citizen opened the door and let us into her very cold home．She was wearing an old，worn-out brown coat that went down to her knees．On her head，covering her gray hair，was an old and worn hat．The home wasn't furnished very well and was quite dark，except for a single light bulb over the dining room table．Below the light was an older man counting change from several old coffee cans．He looked up at us as we passed by to get to the kitchen where my dad would fix the oil burner．He didn't say anything．He just looked up at us．He couldn't speak English，nor could his wife．She only pointed to the kitchen and smiled at us．
After a short while，my father had the heater up and running，and it began to heat their cold home．The lady asked my dad in poor English how much she owed him for fixing the heater．My dad looked around the house and said that he had to go out to the truck and write the bill．
Once in the truck he marked the bill"no answer at home，no charge"，so they wouldn't be charged for his work．He looked over at me and said，"He was counting his change to pay me．They need their money more than I do．"
As usual，my father taught me something important that time，which was to be kind to the poor．

8．John Blanchard stood up from the bench，straightened his Army uniform，and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station．He looked for the girl whose heart he knew，but whose face he didn't，the girl with the rose．
His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library．Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued[1]，not with the words of the book，but with the notes penciled in the margin．The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind．In the front of the book，he discovered the previous owner's name，Miss Hollis Maynell．With time and effort he located her address．She lived in New York City．He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond．The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II．
    During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail．Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart．A romance was starting Blanchard requested a photograph，but she refused．She felt that if he really cared，it wouldn't matter what she looked like．
When the day finally came for him to return from Europe，they scheduled their first meeting-7：00 PM at the Grand Central Station in New York．"You'll recognize me，"she wrote，"by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel[1]．"So at 7：00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved，but whose face he'd never seen．
    I'll let Mr．Blanchard tell you what happened：A young woman was coming toward me，her figure long and slim．Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears； her eyes were blue as flowers．Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness，and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive．I started her，entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose．As I moved，a small，attractive smile curved her lips．"Going my way，sailor？"she murmured．
    Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her，and then I saw Hollis Maynell．She was standing almost directly behind the girl．A woman well past 40，she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat．She was more than plump，her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes．The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away．I felt as though I was split in two，so keen was my desire to follow her，and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own．
    And there she stood．Her pale，plump face was gentle and sensible，her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle．I did not hesitate．My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her．
This would not be love，but it would be something precious，something perhaps even better than love，a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful．I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman，even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment．"I'm Lieutenant John Blanchard，and you must be Miss Maynell．I am so glad you could meet me； may I take you to dinner？"
　　The woman's face broadened into a tolerant smile．"I don't know what this is about，son，"she answered，"but the young lady in the green suit who just went by，she begged me to wear this rose on my coat．And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner，I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street．She said it was some kind of test!"
    It's not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom． The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive．"Tell me whom you love，"Houssaye wrote，"And I will tell you who you are．"
