They wear blue, red or yellow helmets (头盔) and many of them don't follow traffic rules. They drive on thewrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones when they aredriving.

    However,not everything goes well with food deliverymen. In the first half of 2017, fooddeliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai. That means every two and ahalf days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.

    Whatmakes deliverymen so dangerous? The strict rules of the food delivery companiesand the worried customers may be the answer. Many companies will fine a deliverymanup to2,000 yuanif he can't deliverthe food on time, reportedChina DailyFines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.

Lin's eyes moved down the notice board that offeredall the courses. He stopped at "Photography". He liked the idea oftaking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed theirown camera. Although Lin's family weren't poor, they weren't rich either, and acamera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.

    Anotherappealing course was "LanguageArt". He seemed to like it. But after his father explained that it taughtpeople how to make public speeches, Lin, a shy boy, could think of nothingworse.

    Then hesaw it. "Cooking" sounded like something he'd like to do. It wasinexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.

    When you sleep, do you ever realize that you are dreaming? If yes, then you sometimes have a lucid dream(清醒梦) . Only some people are able to have them. Now scientists have found ways to help more people to have lucid dreams, Live Science reported.

    Denholm from the University of Adelaide in Australia found that certain skills are key to helping people have lucid dreams. First, people can train themselves to find out whether they are dreaming or not. For example, someone may look at a clock, look away, and then look back.. Then, they might dream about this way while sleeping. However, in their dreams, the time on the clock may change very quickly. So people know they are dreaming.

    Another way is to wake up after five hours of sleep.. During this time, repeat the words, "The next time I'm dreaming, I'll remember that I'm dreaming." Then, go to bed again to enter rapid eye movement (REM,快速眼球运动) sleep. In REM sleep, people are more likely to be aware of their dreams.

    In a lucid dream, people might study a hobby and then become better at it in real life. For example, you might learn to play the piano in a lucid dream. .
