Dreams can happen in any of the four stages of sleep. The most memorable and clearest dreams happen in the last stage of sleep (also known as REM sleep). The sleep cycle repeats about four to five times every night. So you can see how a person has several different dreams in one night. Most people only remember dreams that happen closer to the morning when they are about to wake up. That you can't remember those dreams does not mean they never happened. The stages in the sleep cycle are organized by the changes in different brain activities.

Stage 1: You are entering into light sleep. In this stage, your eyes move rapidly. We call this NREM. The body gets relaxed and your body temperature lowers. Your heart rate lowers, too. The body is preparing to enter into deep sleep.
Stage 2: Also characterized by NREM. In this stage, the body temperature and heart rate drop again. You are completely asleep.
Stage 3: Still in the NREM stage, this is a deeper sleep still.
Stage 4: In this stage of sleep, your eyes move back or forward. We call it REM sleep. This stage happens at about 90-100 minutes after the beginning of sleep. Your blood pressure rises, heart rate speeds up. The majority of your dreams happen in this stage.

   The size and shape（外形）of your ears show your character（性格）more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size.
   Reading people's character from their ears is a very old science. In the past people thought that a person's ears with colour was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed if a person was musical or not. Today, too, many people believe that the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person is musical.
   Ears are all different，and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large, medium-size, or small. Look at the lobes（耳垂）. Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry easily. Ears that are always cold and nearly white colour mean that a person has a nervous（神经质）character.

The Earth is a planet and it goes around the Sun．Seven other planets also go around the Sun．None of them has an environment with air，so people and things cannot grow．The Sun and its planets are called the solar system．The solar system is a small part of our galaxy．
The stars we see at night are the suns in other solar systems．There are more than 200 billion stars in our galaxy，called the Milky Way，and our Sun is only one of them．
But scientists have discovered many other galaxies in the universe．They are a long way away and their light has travelled for many years to reach us．It is hard to understand how large the universe is．
Scientists have sent lots of spacecraft to look at other planets in our solar system，and some spacecraft have gong beyond the solar system．However，no one has discovered any life in space yet．
But why has no one from other planets sent us a message？Have they tried to send information to us？With so many stars in the universe，are we alone，or is there life out there in space？We don't know...yet．

You may have known about many traditional Chinese festivals such as the Spring Festival or the Lantern Festival, but have you ever heard of Dragon Heads-raising Day?

Dragon Heads-raising Day is also called the Spring Dragon Festival. It is on the second day of the second lunar (农历) month. It's on February 21st this year. It came from an old story. After that day, the Dragon King will wake up from his winter sleep and bring more rain. So that day is the start of spring and farming season.

One of the most interesting things related to the day is about haircut. People believe that a haircut during the first lunar month is not a good idea. It may bring bad things to your uncles. So people can only cut it on or after Dragon Heads-raising Day. Although it's not true, many people still do it.

There are also other ways to celebrate this festival. For example, people eat food with dragon names. People call noodles dragon's beard (胡须). Dumplings are dragon's ears and spring rolls (春卷) are dragon's scales (鳞).

People also do dragon dances and make dragon lanterns. The lanterns stand for people's best wishes and good luck.
