This Way to Dreamland

Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers are usually unknown of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy(笨拙的)._ 1.__ They trouble us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.

But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. __2.__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?

So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or looking like a fool?

First, understand that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slide into daydreams.__ 3. And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably(最好) something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.

__4.__ “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. It involves(需要) slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.

Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.____ 5.___ Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.

A. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.

B. Having interesting things to think about also helps.

C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have Coke relatively.

D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.

E. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.

F. It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate.

G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream zone.

We all face quantities of stress in day-to-day living, whether at work, in the home, or anywhere in between. 1. Here’s how stress can help us on an everyday basis.

◆Sharpening your memory.

Did you ever notice that sometimes when you are stressed, your memory seems to improve? Remember that test you passed where the answer seemed to come out of nowhere? 2. It’s because of stress hormones (荷爾蒙) that increase your alertness when it’s most needed.

3.

Successful employees turn stress into motivation. Have you ever noticed that you get the least amount of work done when you have fewest deadlines? Too little stress can affect how much you actually get done. When you take risks and choose to get over the difficulty, it improves your mental toughness and self-confidence.

◆Helping you resist the attack of illness.

4. Believe it or not, the right kind of stress can help your body’s defenses against illness. When you get sick, stress causes you to make hormones that battle threats to your health. That burst of stress is helpful to your immune system when your body faces a threat.

◆Making your life more interesting.

Think about some stressful situation that we consciously put ourselves in to make life more interesting and enjoyable, like asking someone out on a first date, conquering a known fear, or learning something new. These may not immediately come to mind when you think of stress because of the positive outcomes. 5.

A. But handled properly, stress can have many benefits for the body and mind.

B. Helping you get an advantage at work.

C. That’s one way your brain responds to stress.

D. This will happen whenever you are stressed.

E. But they’re the types that can help you achieve fulfillment and happiness.

F. Helping you get through difficult times.

G. You need a healthy immune system to help fight off diseases.
