Memories about Teachers

    Recently we made a survey (调查)and asked a large number of people to tell us about their teachers. Here is what they remembered about their teachers:

    "What teachers do I remember? Well, I remember my first teacher. She was so kind and pretty, and she told us many interesting stories."

    "I remember an English teacher . he always had colored socks: red, green, even orange,"

    "I remember a math teacher. She was always dressed very well. I couldn't stop looking at her. I wanted to be like her."

    "Our chemistry teacher. He was so strict. We were afraid of him. I don't think he liked us."

    "The physics teacher was so boring. He could make us fall asleep very quickly."

    "One year we had a really good Chinese language teacher. He was very patient and told very funny stories. He was popular with all the class. We always worked hard for him. We are his friends,"

    "The P.E. teacher always said I was stupid. I thought teachers should give us encouragement. I am not interested in sports because of him."

    "I had one history teacher who always wore clothes of the same color. In three years I never saw him change."

    "I remember two teachers well. One was my music teacher who was very active, and usually had a loud voice. The other was my computer teacher, who was very serious, but here ally helped me when I had problems at any time."

    And why do we have them? Scientists are learning to find the reasons, but they still know very little about why we dream.

    Modern research can tell us some important facts about dreams. For example, we have most of our dreams during REM sleep. At this time，the brain is very active. Another fact is that everyone dreams-even if we cannot remember doing so when we're awaken. What's more, an unusual part of our brain has been found. This part sometimes puts our thoughts and memories together in strange ways when we're asleep.

    Some scientists believe that our dreams are associated with life experiences and things in the dreams have their own meanings. For example, telephones in dreams are thought to be about giving or receiving an important message. A car in dreams often mean feelings about your own life. Broken teeth show fear.

    Scientists think that people in our dreams can tell us something about ourselves. If the person in the dream was shouting out, for example, maybe you are angry. If he or she was scared in the dream, then maybe you're afraid of something in life.

    There is still a lot that we do not understand, but scientists are trying hard because the more we learn about our dreams, the more we learn about ourselves.

    Hello! My name is Wendy. I live in the city. My family doesn't have a car, so I go to school on the bus. There are four people in my family. They are my parents, my brother and I. We live happily together.

    At school, I study very hard. I am very good at English. I often help my classmates with their Chinese and English. I enjoy learning.

    I am a quiet girl. I like reading and listening to light music. I have some friends. We always spend time together, they are very funny and friendly. I wish we can be friends forever.

    It was a beautiful spring（春天） morning. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, and the sun was warm but not too hot. So Mr. Andrews was surprised when he saw an old man at the bus-stop with a big umbrella in his hand.

    Mr. Andrews said to him, “Do you think it's going to rain today?”

    “No,” said the old man, “I don't think so.”

    “Then are you carrying the umbrella because the sun is too hot?”

    “No, the sun is not very hot in spring.”

    Mr. Andrews looked at the big umbrella again, and the man said, “I am an old man, and my legs are not very good, so I really need a walking-stick (拐杖). But people will say, 'Look at that poor old man', and I don't like that. When I carry an umbrella in fine weather, people only say, 'Look at that stupid（愚蠢的）man'.”
