Kids are far better than adults at learning how to speak multiple languages. Research now shows that very young infants might have some of the best language skills of all．

    A new study suggests that babies between 4 and 6 months old can tell the difference between two languages just by looking at the speaker's face．They don't need to hear word．Sometimes between 6-8 months of age, babies raised in homes where just one language is spoken lose this ability．Babies from bilingual(双语的) homes, on the other hand, keep the face-reading ability until they're at least 8 months old．

    Researchers in Canada studied 36 babies from English-speaking families．Twelve of the babies were 4 months old,12 were 6 months old, and the rest were 8 months old．Each baby sat on his or her mother's lap and watched video clips(电影片断) of a woman talking．The woman was fluent in both English and French．In some clips, she read from a storybook in English．In other clips, she read in French．In all of the videos there was no sound．

As with everything in life, there is a right way to sleep in a manner that is productive in dream recall. Relaxation and good sleeping habits are necessary. There is "sleep debt" that occurs when you regularly do not get enough sleep. If so, you’ll sleep too deep to remember your dreams, so follow regular habits. Before you leap into bed, review these steps:

      1   This can be done with nothing more than peace and quiet. If you choose, use your favorite relaxation tapes, or just some peaceful music.

      2   As you start to sleep, pay attention to the main theme. This will give you a clue as to what your dream may end up being based on. Also, by keeping your mind on what you what to dream about is a good way to dream about one particular issue.

    Give yourself a suggestion to remember your dream.   3   In order to do so, giving yourself a suggestion is simple. Just keep in mind, and randomly bring to a surface a little thought like “I will remember my dream.”

    Plan on waking up slowly and peacefully.   4   Regardless of what anyone may have told you, it is a fact that adult human beings NEED a minimum of eight hours’ sleep in order to be fully rested. Not getting enough sleep is the number one reason for not remembering your dreams!

      5    Eat a well-balanced diet. Poor nutrition is also an extremely common cause for failure to recall dreams.

    A. Try to wake up naturally.

    B. Relax yourself completely.

    C. Your health is very important.

    D. Solve your issues before going to sleep.

    E. You must want to remember your dreams.

    F. Many people can’t remember their dreams.

    G. Pay attention to the main issues on your mind.

    It was Sunday and without homework, I got up late. After finishing the breakfast, I began to surf the Internet. About one and a half hour later, when Mom noticed that I still playing computer games, she was very annoyed that she scolded me, she said I shouldn’t be so addicted to the Internet and ignored my study as the college entrance tests were drawing nearer. I said that this was necessary to have a rest to refresh myself. Mom left angry. It was at that moment when I realized I was wrong. I said sorry, and promised I wouldn’t do that again. Mom hoped that I wouldn’t cost too much time on the Internet any more.
