I really wanted to go on sleeping, as I had insomnia（失眠）and had just fallen asleep, but I couldnt because Sam groaned louder and louder，showing he was seriously ill.At that time，Robbie，a student from China，also got up to help. We found some pills，got some water，and helped him sit up to take them, hoping this would make his pain go down a little and get over the difficult time. If only daytime would come soon, everything would become easier.Things went contrary（相反）to our wishes. Sams condition developed from bad to worse. We telephoned the emergency service，and in no time an ambulance stopped in front of our gate. We helped the medical（医疗）workers carry Sam to the vehicle，and then both Robbie and I got in and took Sam to the hospital.We helped him go through many medical examinations. After all kinds of tests，we were told that the final diagnosis（诊断）was appendicitis（盲肠炎）Luckily，Sam didnt need an operation because we brought him to the hospital in time.

Some people train themselves to remember their dreams. As soon as they wake up, they record what their dreams were about.Scientists believe that we have different kinds of sleep. One kind of sleep is called R.E.M. sleep. R.E.M. stands for Rapid（快速的）Eye Movement. During this kind of sleep our eyes move quickly, even though they are closed. Although we are asleep, there is a lot of brain（头脑）activities, and we probably have strong dreams at this time.Sometimes people talk in their sleep. In these dreams the dreamer is usually unhappy or worried about something. The worst of these dreams are so frightening that we call them nightmares.

It is possible, however, that every dream has a special meaning only for the person who dreams it, and that this meaning is about something in that persons life.64.

We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people.Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else. Almost everywhere eating together means that people are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia（波利尼西亚）it is bad manners to be seen eating beside each other. So they politely turn their backs to each other when they are taking food. Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing（祝福）They do it to show that they want a sick person to get well，or to bless a new-born baby. In most other places，spitting means something completely different. It usually shows an unhealthy habit. In many countries，it may mean that you hate someone.When we go to visit someone we say“Hello！”Or“How are you? or things like that.But if you are visiting an East African village，everyone will be very careful not to pay attention to you, The polite thing there will be for you to go quietly，without speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend.
