　　History is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery．A striking example is provided by Dr．Otto Loewi, a pharmacologist and winner of a Nobel Prize．Loewi had spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses(脉搏)．A major breakthrough in his research calile when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row．The first two nights he woke up and wrote down the experiment quickly and untidily on paper．But the next morning, he couldn’t tell what the notes meant．On the third night, he got up after having the dream．This time, instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the important experiment．Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would not have given it another thought．

　　Loewi’s experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions．Nervous feelings are reduced during dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view．

　　Being able to take advantage of dreams for solving is improved if you “set” yourself before retiring．Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve．Bury yourself in the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information．Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams．Although this method is not guaranteed to produce an original solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure．About half of a group of college students using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem．

New York State Governor David Paterson described the crash-landing of U.S. Airways Flight 1549 on a freezing river as “a miracle on the Hudson”. The miracle was the survival and safe rescue of all 155 passengers aboard the Airbus A320 that suffered bird hits on both its engines soon after take-off on January 16．The hero in this remarkable escape was the 57-year-old captain, Chesley Sullenberger. The former U.S. Air Force pilot showed extreme skill and presence of mind to manoeuvre--from an altitude of 900 metres--the aircraft over the milling crowds, over the buildings, over the George Washington Bridge, and on to the Hudson River, nose-up and at an angle that gave it the best chance. The pilot walked the plane twice after the crash to make sure all of the passengers and crew were safe.

"The left engine just blew. Flames were coming out of it and I was looking at it because I was sitting right there. And it just started smelling like gasoline. Everyone started, to be honest, to say prayers," a passenger told WNBC．

"We had to give it to the pilot man," the shaken passenger added．

"There were a couple of people who took charge and started yelling for everyone to calm down," Alberto Panero told CNN. "Once everyone realized we were going to be OK, they settled down."

Along the bank of the Hudson, eyewitnesses could not believe their eyes: A plane was flying impossibly low but steady as could be. It was as if the pilot was approaching a runway, not the icy winter waters of Manhattan’s Hudson River.

Ferry passengers who happened to be on the Hudson at the time of the crash jumped into action. “We just started taking people from the wing,” said Janis Krums who was riding on one of the first boats to arrive and rescue the passengers. “And we just started giving them clothes and keeping them warm. In less than six or seven minutes we just had five or six boats helping.”

1．What can be the best headline of the news?

A．A Miracle on the Hudson B．Heroics Follow an Aircrash
