Do you remember your dreams? Do people have the same dreams? Why do we dream? There are many questions about dreams. We dream during the REM (rapid (快的) eye movement) stage (阶段) of sleep. We have about five periods of REM sleep during the night. The first REM cycle (周期) lasts about 10 minutes. As the night goes on, the REM cycle gets longer. By early morning, the REM cycle can last up to 90 minutes. Usually, it is in this last REM cycle that we remember our dreams.
Dreams change as people age. People may have several dreams each night. Some are like films and usually in color. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something and trying to find the answer. Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can’t remember the dreams clearly.
It is reported that too much dreaming is bad for our health. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work. That is why we may have a long sleep and still feel tired when we wake up.We dream during the REM stage of sleep.
Children aged eight or nine have the same dreams as people aged thirty.
All the dreams are usually in color like films.
The longer we dream, the better we sleep.
The passage above is talking about dreaming.
How do you feel about your looks? Is it important to have a beautiful face? Are there other things that can make a person special? The way you look is special. Do you know what I mean by that? We all look a little different. Some of us are tall, Some of us are fat.The point is, all of us have our own look一our own face.
Sometimes,we might feel bad about looking different.We might feel like we look ugly or strange.But our differences are what make us special.
I recently watched a speech by a man named Robert Hoge. He was born with a strange﹣looking face.His mother always worried that he would face many difficulties in life.
But what Hoge did changed his mother's mind little by little.Strangers would stare at him or even make fun of him. But he didn't care at all. He decided to accept his face and feel confident(自信的) in himself. He has made a decision to live an amazing life.
It's hard when you feel like you don't look "normal" or"perfect".But the truth is,no one is perfect.The important thing to remember is that you are special, no matter what you look like.

China is famous for tea.Drinking tea is very popular in China and even around the world.It's said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink.A few thousand years later,Lu Yu,"the saint of tea", mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea.
Nowadays, according to different processing ways, there are mainly four kinds of Chinese tea.They are green tea,black tea,Oolong tea and scented (有香味的)tea.Without fermentation(发酵),green tea keeps the original color of the tea. If the green tea is fermented before baking,it will be black tea.Oolong tea is partially (部分地) fermented. And if fragrantflowers are mixed in the tea during the processing, the scented tea will be made.
Tea is produced in many different areas in China. For example, Anxi and Hangzhou are widely known for their tea. Tea plants are grown on the sides of mountains.When the leaves are ready,they are picked by hand and then are sent for processing. Later, the tea is packed and sent to many different countries and places around China.
It's believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6 thand 7 thcenturies.In England,tea didn't appear until around 1660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19 thcentury.
Tea is good for people's health and plays an important role in Chinese social life.

Looking for Crafts(手艺)is a documentary about the story of 199 Chinese Craftsmen.We can watch it online. Although it doesn't show beautiful pictures or exciting scenes, it quietly tells the story of traditional Chinese Crafts and their special skills. After watching the film, the warmth and faith(信念) of the traditional culture may deeply touch you.
Zhang Jin, the director of the documentary is from the countryside of Hunan. After living in a moden and busy city for many years, he became to miss the traditional crafts of his hometown,so he made a decision to record them. He sold his apartment and invited two friends to join him and travelled all over China.The film was made without professional filming machines or much money. Yet its narration (带有口音的旁白)made people feel at home.
In the film you can see an 80﹣year old man who makes paper umbrellas with bamboo for the Dai people.Making umbrellas is a long process that includes six steps. but he has continued with his hobby for 60 years.After watching the film, many people wanted to buy such an umbrella,but the old man was dead.
It's easy to notice that the hands of these craftsmen are full of wrinkles(皱纹)﹣ these craftsmen are using their lives to protect our culture heritage(遗产). From making a piece of clay to crating a musical instrument, these crafts are hard work.
True artists give up their own comfortable lives to produce what's in their heart, which is believed to be the real meaning and the purpose of making this documentary. The film reminds people the importance of the crafts. And it has also caught a lot of attention.
I hope these ancient and wonderful skills will still be alive forever.
