Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph．There is one extra heading which you do not need．

Every night, for about 90 minutes, we drift into a strange, shadowy, magical world of our own creation．Poets, writers, artists and even scientists have found inspiration in their “dreamland”．Dreams are a message from the subconscious, a way of tapping your inner self．Keep a note pad and pen by your bedside, and as soon as you wake, note down whatever snatches of dreams you can recall．Dreams can solve your problems, give you advice, reveal your true feelings, and be a source of inspiration.

What are you aware of right now? Look at a familiar object in the room as if seeing it for the first time — explore it with your eyes．Next, listen intently to any sounds you can hear．What can you smell and taste at this moment? Touch whatever is within reach, run your hand over and around it — how does it feel? During the next few weeks activate all your senses．Visit an art gallery, walk in a pine forest, luxuriate in a second bubble bath, go to a concert, swim, have a massage．Try to experience it all as if it were totally new to you．

If you’re right-handed, develop the skills of your left hand or vice versa — allow it to draw something, switch TV channels or drink a cup of tea．Try this exercise: write a list of ten adjectives which characterize your personality using the hand you usually write with．A few days later, repeat the exercise writing with the other hand．Then compare the two lists．You might be surprised at the secrets of your inner self! For example, on the first list you might have written that you’re “witty”, but the second list might say “suspicious”．Then try a similar exercise, making two lists of “ What I would most like to do”.

Have you ever longed to paint portraits or watercolors, write a novel, draw cartoons, compose a song, design your own clothes, set up a business or landscape your garden? If so, why not start now? Yes, you might discover that your fast efforts are laughable — but try, try again．With a few notable exceptions such as Mozart, most people haven’t developed their creative talents through sheer hard work．Don’t kid yourself that you haven’t any spare time．It’s a question of making time, of seeing your talents as important enough to devote a few hours to each week．Who knows — you might be the next Laura Ashley or Agatha Christie?

Forget about being told off for daydreaming at school．Daydreaming is good for you! Whether it’s a purely fantasy, or a dream about how life might be in the future, only the right-brain has visions of this kind．Creative visualization, vividly imagining whatever you desire as if it has already happened — and really believing in it, is said to be a powerful way of getting what you want．Many top sports people imagine themselves playing and winning — and it seems to work

Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind．How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing．

    By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic （逻辑） behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand．Often, explaining a thought is the process of understanding．In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power.”

    Try this experiment．Explain how you’ll increase your brain power, even if you have no idea how right now．Just start with anything, and create an explanation．For example, start with “I’ll learn chess,” or “I’ll read an article on the mind every week.” Explain how that will help．You’ll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan, and if you actually do this, you’ll have a better understanding of your brain twenty minutes from now．

    Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember．Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes．You can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project, you’ll probably have more success．

   Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it．That’s an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a friend about it, and you will understand it better．Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problem, why you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and you’re half-way there．

    Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand．Often, they write about something because they want to understand it．You can do the same．Writing will help bring you to an understanding．Give it a try.

E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.

The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something funny—see a great movie perhaps—and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you will get tired of telling the story.

With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends who you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.

E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.

We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t eliminate(排除) any of the old ways.

D. Internet: a Convenient Tool for Communication

Personal computers and the Internet give people a  new choice about how to spend their time. Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.
