Have you ever had lucid(清醒的)dreams? Recent studies suggest that the number of people having them is on the rise. Someone having a lucid dream realizes they are dreaming and may from then on"direct" the action. Or they may simply "watch" the dream unfold.The sense of awareness(知道)makes it different from a dream that is simply very lively and true to life. And although the description may seem strange, the process is far from alien to many of us.
Studies suggest that the number of people in the Western world experiencing lucid dreams, which happen once in a while, has risen by between 10 and 40 per cent since the 1980s. Today, they are so common that about one in eight of us will have one in our lives. But still, little is known about what causes them or what is behind the rise.
Research carried out at the respected Harvard University in the US shows that the brain is working hard during lucid dreams. In fact,the level of the mental(精神的)activity in some parts of the brain is similar to that of a person who is awake. Lucid dreamers seem to share certain personal characters. For example, in general they are quite creative. They are also good at digging deep into problems and going out of their way to solve them. Furthermore,they always believe in personal responsibility rather than letting society carry the can.
Our nightmares(噩梦)may show our waking worries,with the five most common ones——falling, being run after, feeling disabled, being late and the death of a loved one.Men are more likely to have nightmares about fights or being fired while hair and tooth loss appear more in women's nightmares---perhaps showing worries about losing their looks. Research has also found that women have more nightmares than men. Their dreams are also scarier and more unforgettable.

Do you often feel tired? Do you sometimes feel uncomfortable on your neck and back? It may because of the radiation(辐射)from your computer. If you spend three hours or more in front of a computer, you may feel terrible because of the radiation.
The safe amount of radiation is 25V/m. Do you know how much radiation our computers give off?
Keyboard: 1, 000 V/m Mouse: 450 V/m
Monitor: 218V/m CPU: 170 V/m
Laptops: 2, 500 V/m
Ways to protect yourself from harmful computer radiation:
①Put some green plants on your desk. They can take in radiation.
②Drink two to three cups of green tea a day and eat an orange daily. They keep us healthy.
③Use a screen filter(屏幕过滤器)for your monitor.

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. As a result, animals and men need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds (种子). The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.
