One morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.
Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream.He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.
Elias Howes was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.
Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.
To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.
1. The problem Howe was trying to solve was________.A.what kind of thread to use |
B.how to design a needle which would not break |
C.where to put the needle |
D.how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle |
A.he also tried to invent a sewing machine |
B.he got some of his ideas from dreams |
C.he was one of Howe's best friends |

Here are a few things to watch out for when you move somewhere new or are returning home after a long time away.
Be careful on the road!
The first thing that I did when I got out of the airport was to cross the road,but I looked the wrong way!In the UK the cars drive on the lefthand side of the road whereas in Spain they drive on the right.I almost got run over because I was still thinking I was in Spain.You have to be very careful.
There's another strange one from travelling on the road.In Mallorca,most of the time,pedestrians(行人) can cross the road by walking on the road without stopping and the car will stop for them.In the UK,however,you have to be careful to wait for the cars to stop or else you might end up in the hospital very quickly!
Drink water.
In Spain,most people buy large bottles of water to drink.In the UK the filtering(过滤) of the water means that you can drink straight from the tap.On my first night back I forgot that I could drink water from the taps and spent the night wishing I had a bottle of water.When I woke up,I realized how silly I had been.
Time is different.
In Spain there is a small break during the day to have a nap for the rest of the day.You also might only think about going out for a drink with friends in Spain at 11 p.m. In the UK that is already past the bedtime!
4. What can we conclude from the text?A.The author is used to living in Spain. |
B.The author hopes to return to Mallorca soon. |
C.The author doesn't like the life in the UK at all. |

A.He was crossing an unfamiliar road. |
B.He was thinking in the middle of the road. |
C.He was looking the wrong way on the road. |

D.didn't drink water at all |
Florence Nightingale was born in a rich family.When she was young, she took lessons in music and drawing,and read great books.She also travelled a great deal with her mother and father.
As a child, she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure.She enjoyed helping them.
At last, her mind was made up.“I'm going to be a nurse,” she decided.
“Nursing isn't the right work for a lady,” her father told her.
“Then I will make it so,” she smiled.And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France.When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home for women.
During the Crimean War in 1854, she went with a group of thirty eight nurses to the front hospital.What they saw there was terrible.Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen and smelled.The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital,either. But the brave nurses went to work.
Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes,beds,medicines and food for the men.Her only pay was the smiles from the lips of dying soldiers.But they were more than enough for this kind woman.
After war,she returned to England and was honoured for her service by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun.She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London.She also wrote a book on public health,which was printed in several countries.
Florence Nightingale passed away at the age of ninety,still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse.Indeed,it is because of her that we honour nurses today.

John von Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of a banker,and his speed of learning new ideas and of solving problems stood out early. At 17,his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he may lead a poor life being a mathematician,and so von Neumann agreed to study chemistry as well.In 1926,at 23,he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph.D.in mathematics.From then on,mathematics provided well enough for him,and he never had to turn to chemistry.
In 1930,von Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there.His first book was published in 1932.In 1933,the Institute for Advanced Study was formed,and he became one of the 6 fulltime people(Einstein was one of the others)in the School of Mathematics.
World War Ⅱ hugely changed von Neumann's areas of interest.Until 1940 he had been a great pure(纯粹的)mathematician.During and after the war,he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematics theories into practice.During the last part of the war he became interested in computing machines and made several fundamental contributions.After the war,von Neumann continued his work with computers,and was generally very active in government service.He received many awards,was president of the American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission.He died in 1957 of cancer.
Von Neumann made several great contributions and any one of them would have been enough to earn him a firm place history.He will be remembered as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.
Von Neumann really was a legend(传奇)in his own time,and there are a number of stories about him.His driving ability is a part of this legend.He reported one accident this way,“I was driving down the road.The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour.Suddenly one of them stepped in my path.”
12. Von Neumann published his first book at the age of .A.23 | B.26 | C.29 | D.32 |

The event that stands out in Tom’s memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old.He was at home with his elder sister Jane.Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices.At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud,but he soon realized this time it was different.
“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone shouted.Then a thick burning smell filled the air.When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate,a thick cloud of smoke greeted him.The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane,who had been playing the violin in her room,hurried to the living room.They rushed out of the door and along the corridor (走廊) through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane suddenly stopped in her track.She turned around and headed back the way they came.Tom had no idea what she was doing,but he followed her.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them,who they called Makcik.Jane began banging on Makcik’s door,but got no answer.As the smoke thickened around them,Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pajamas (睡衣)—running for safety.The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried.However,Jane refused to give up.“I know Makcik’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping.She pounded against the door.“Go downstairs.Go now! Go!”
Paragraph 1:Tom noticed the flame (火焰) was reaching up.

Luckily,some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help.
