举一反三
Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry and decided to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us have been told from earliest school days that daydreaming is a waste of time.
L. Giambra, a psychologist(心理学家), says,” On the contrary , daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn't do all the thinking that it has to do during a normal day. You can't possibly do all your thinking with a conscious (神志清醒的)mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states (状态)of mind have silent conversations .”
Early psychologists paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even thought they were harmful. At one time people thought that some psychological illness caused day dreaming. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinges, a professor, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinges says, “We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures. Daydreams really are a window on the things that we fear and the things we long for (渴望) in life.”
Daydreams are usually very simple and direct(直接), quite unlike sleep dreams. Sleep dreams may be hard to understand. It's easier to get a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine (分析)your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you know the difficult situations(情况)in your life and found out a possible way of dealing with them.
Daydreams cannot be predicted(预言): they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.

Headphones are helpful. They are good for blocking out noise. And we use them to listen to music no influencing others. But headphones can be harmful, too. They can cause hearing loss if the volume (音量) is too loud. Studies show that one out of every 10 kids in the United States has some hearing loss. The cause is loud noise.

How Hearing Works

An ear has many working parts. Their job is to tum sound into something your brain can understand. And there are cells (细胞) inside the car that help you hear. "We call them hair cells," Jackie Clark says. "They look like hairs standing up." Clark is a professor at the University of Texas, She studies how loud noises affect (影响) our ears.

Sound moves and makes the hair cells move back and forth. Loud noises can damage (损害) these cells by getting them not straight anymore. Once the cells arc damaged, they don't grow back.

    ▲

One sign of hearing loss is tinnitus. It's a ringing in the cars. "It's like someone is playing the violin for a long time," Clark says. "It's difficult to get away from it." And the damage affects more than your ears. It can cause worries and stress.

How can you protect your ears? Keep the volume on your headphones low. You should be able to hear sounds around you. And other people shouldn't hear noise from your headphones.

Measuring(测量) Sound

Sounds or noises are everywhere. Raindrops are 40 decibels (分贝) while fireworks are 140 decibels. What about your headphones? They can go higher than 100 decibels. That's too loud. To protect your ears, keep your headphones at about half volume. And don't listen too long. About an hour a day is safe.

①You go home from work. You are tired, you want to turn on the TV and watch something fun. Your children want the same. What is better than a cartoon film?

②In fact, many cartoon films draw adults' attention. For example, Anomalisa, a film for adults, has been a success. And there is also the chance that adults will love a kid's film more, for example, The Incredibles. So, what is the reason(原因) behind it?

③First, a lot of cartoon films are really good. Plenty of gifted people join hands in making films like Toy Story and Ice Age. Screenwriters, programmers and musicians are all working together to bring the best result.

④Also, they bring out the memories(回忆) of our childhood. Remember the time when you were a child, and you used to turn on the TV and enjoy cartoons. Well, cartoon films bring out that special feeling.

⑤Cartoon films have well-written roles facing difficult situations. For example, Woody has to deal with the fact that he may not be Andy's favourite toy in Toy Story. Sometimes the stories are even better than those in adult films. So, it's not surprising that adults will love cartoon films.

⑥Moreover, by watching a cartoon film, we forget the boring life and leave our problems behind for the moment. Who would refuse to have his own personal Baymax (from Big Hero 6), a man who shares a hug every time there was sadness? If only our lives could be full of good-natured animals and brave children!

·Exercising

In Greece and Estonia, over 80 percent of people exercise every day. The Olympic sports are very popular in these two countries, but Estonia has a very special game: ice cricket (冰上板球)!
