11.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(無意識的),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".
8.The problem Howe was trying to solve wasD.
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
9.Thomas Edison is spoken of becauseB.
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         
D.he also had difficulty in falling asleep
10.Dreams are sometimes called"secret messages to ourselves"becauseA.
A.strange images are used to communicate ideas
B.images which have no meaning are used
C.we can never understand the real meaning
D.only specially trained people can understand them.

18.Every year in America,high-school students who want to go on to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test,or SAT in a shortened way.Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them.The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures one's mathematical ability and use of the English language.Traditionally,the English part involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.
But the SAT folks have added a single question to be answered in an essay,handwritten on the spot.That's an interesting way to test writing ability,but content aside,have you ever seen young people's handwriting lately?Or anyone's for that matter,in this age of computer keyboards?Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks.They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word.
Yet today's kids are asked to write,thoughtfully and clearly,for several minutes on this SAT Test.Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl(潦草的筆跡) of young people who've been typing on computers since the age of three!Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one's score on the SAT,but also,later on in life,impress potential employers.And don't forget,we all have to use handwriting from time to time,as computers go down when the power goes out.
Then how to improve the handwriting?Well,with a few simple steps you can improve your handwriting.
Position the pen,you should hold the pen between the forefinger and the thumb.You should then rest it near the first knuckle(指節(jié)) of the middle finger.The rest of your fingers should be curled(卷曲)under your hand and your hand should remain relaxed.
Evaluate your writing.What do you like and what you don't like about the way you write?Make changes to your letters till you like how they look.
Take your time.Make sure that,while you are writing,you take your time.Speed is sure to make your writing messy-looking.If it is worth writing well,then take your time.
Practice.Practice it a lot; it's not enough to do it once and hope for the best.It has to be something you work at to make great improvements.
