One morning during my second month of the art school，our teacher gave（51）usquiz（小测验）．I was always a hard-working student and I did well in all my subjects．So it seemed a piece of cake for me．I had finished the questions successfully and easily，until I read the last one：What is the name of the woman（52）whocleans the school building every day？（53）Surelyit was some kind of joke．I had seen the cleaning woman several times．She was tall，thin and about 50years old，（54）buthow could I know her name？It was（55）noneof my business．I handed in my paper，（56）leavingthe last question empty．
Just before the class ended，one student asked if the last question would count towards our quiz grades．
"Of course it will，"said the teacher．"You（57）will meetmany people in the future．All people are important．And all jobs need to（58）be respected．They work hard．They deserve（值得） your attention and care，even if all that you can do（59）isto smile and say hello．"
I've never forgotten that lesson．Actually，that was the（60）meaningfullesson in my life．I also learned that the cleaning woman's name was Ally Black．

19．Many people think dreams are full of messages that may not be clear to us common people．But if we think about what is going on in our lives，we can usually come up with an answer．Let's look at some of the most common dreams．What are the meanings of these dreams？
Falling
You're falling，falling，falling…and then you wake up．This dream is said to mean you are in fear of something or worried about something．There may be something in your life that is out of control and there is nothing you can do to stop it．Another explanation is that you may experience failure in something．Maybe you're not d oing well in school or work．
Taking an exam （or forgetting that you have one）
You suddenly realize you have to take an exam at that very moment．You might be running here and there to find your classroom．Scientists say this dream may mean you're being tested about something or maybe you are facing a challenge．
Flying
Dreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things．You are in control of the things that matter to you．It may also mean you have confidence in yourself and think no one and nothing can beat you．
Trying to run，but going nowhere
You're trying to run，but either of your legs won't move or you simply aren't going anywhere．Some scientists think this dream means you're trying to do too many things at once and can't catch up or move forward．
In fact，unlike these dreams，there are also many strange dreams that scientists may not be able to explain．
