【推荐1】How to Make Reading a Regular Habit
I’ve always been a bookworm. There’s no place I’d rather be than buried in the pages of an attractive story, absorbed into another life, another world. Yet many friends and fellow book-lovers have told me: “Oh, I haven’t read a book in ages... I’m just too busy.” However, research has found that regular reading helps us relax: reading for just six minutes can reduce stress levels by 68 percent.

Listen to an audiobook. For those who find it tough to spend time on reading, audiobooks allow you to multitask. Book blogger Amanda Chatterton says she sticks to her headphones and “reads” while going for an hour-long pre-work walk in the morning. She says, “

【推荐3】Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group. Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it. Bruce Pederson, the managing director of Book Crossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.

【推荐3】Most people feel that dreams are unique to humans, but many dog owners will likely disagree. They have noticed that their dogs at various times during the sleep may shake legs, snort(哼)and sometimes growl (低声吼叫)which gives the impression that they are dreaming. These things may wonder us about whether dogs dream.
Scientists confirm that dogs probably do dream. It turns out that dog brains and human brains have many similarities during sleep cycles. Researchers used special machines to measure electrical activity in a dog’s brain and a human’s brain. Scientists already knew that when humans dream, a certain part of the brain is active during sleep. Researchers discovered that the same part of the brain is active in sleeping dogs. Scientists have other data that back up these findings.
Many people dream that they are trying to move but cannot. Interestingly, part of that experience is not a dream. When people sleep, the brain produces a chemical that causes the dreamer to become temporarily paralyzed(使麻痹). Researchers think this happens so that people cannot physically act out dreams while they are sleeping. Dog brains make the same chemical. In one study during which this chemical was blocked, sleeping test dogs performed physical activities, such as standing up, sniffing around the room for imaginary rabbits, or chasing (追逐)imaginary balls.
Because of these similarities, researchers believe that the content of a dogs dream might come from the same source as a human’s dream. “People’s dreams are usually based on things they did that day, ” says Dr. Samantha Hudspith. “So we have reasons to believe that dogs dream about the things theyve done that day. Of course, there will never be a way to prove this. Dogs cannot describe their dreams the way that humans can. ”
