Did your mom and dad make you do this? ”“No. I decided to do it because I wanted to. When I give away a lot of my things, I make room for family activities. I did it because I wanted to and live differently and have less stuff in my life.” “But still, why would you choose to get rid of most of your toys? ” “Part of the reason is that my parents were doing it with their stuff. And my mom talked to me about it and explained how they felt happier afterwards. And I thought maybe I really had spent a lot of my time in my room playing with toys instead of spending time with my parents and sister.”“Seriously?”“I feel proud because I am a person who has just what I need and not more. And Im staring new activities like writing how I feel, reading more, and spending more time doing housework around the house.”“OK. Let me get this straight. You have fewer toys, more housework, and you feel happier?”“Well, its not that the housework is fun. But I do it with my parents. We talk and connect while were doing it, so that is the fun.

Some womens great efforts and their names have been recorded in history, but the efforts of many women and their contributions have often gone unnoticed in World War II. Their struggles and the kind of sacrifices that were seen in World War II were really admirable. World War II was the time when women left their kitchen work and moved on to shipyards and defense places to secure a place for themselves. Heres a look at some of the strong figures of women in World War II. Tatiana Nikolaevna Baramzina was born in Glazov of Russia on December 12,1919. In 1943, she was sent to the Central Womens Sniper Training School and upon her graduation in April, she was further sent to the front. She managed to kill around 16 enemies in the first three months! Unfortunately, she was captured(俘虏) by the enemies and was killed on the fifth of July 1944. Today, the street where she grew up has been renamed in her memory. Anne Frank was a German-born Jewish girl who was well-known for the publication of her diary that described all her experiences when the Germans occupied Holland in World War II. Anne was born on June 12,1929 and she, along with her family, went into hiding in July 1942. Two years later, her family was captured and seven months from her arrest, Anne Frank died of illness in early March 1945. Margaret Ringenberg was born on 17 June, 1921, in Indiana of America. She began her career during World War II when she became a ferry pilot for the Women Airforce Service Pilots. After that she turned flight instructor in 1945. She even wrote her own book named Girls Cant Be Pilots. She passed away on 28 July, 2008, after flying for 40,000 hours in the air. Hannah Szenes was born on 17th July, 1921 and was trained to Parachute(用降落伞空投) by the British army into Yugoslavia during World War II. This task was given in order to save the Jews of Hungary, Her secret mission was not revealed even when she was tortured (折磨) following her arrest at the Hungarian border. Hannah Szenes had to brave immense tortures, yet she did not lose heart. She bravely battled it out and tried to sing to keep her spirits high! She also kept a record of events in her diary till 7th November, 1944, when she finally killed. These names are just a few of the women who played a significant part in World War II. Their stories go a long way in showing the kind of lifestyles they led and their struggles and sacrifices.65.What is mainly discussed in the text?A. Women were braver than men in World War II.B.

While scientists believe that everyone dreams, they are still unsure about why they do. A long time ago, people believed that the dreams they had at night were real worlds that they entered and exited whenever they slept. We know today that this isnt true but, for the most part, dreams still remain a mystery.Stages of SleepEach night, we go through five stages of sleep, the first of which is very light. You will wake up easily during this stage but, as you progress from stage to stage, your sleep deepens and you become harder to awaken. The very last stage of sleep, the fifth stage, is called REM sleep and is the stage in which you dream. When your body reaches REM sleep, your brain releases a chemical that makes the rest of your body stay still. Some scientists think that this happens so that we dont act out our dreams and accidentally hurt ourselves.What Dreams MeanAmazingly, scientists can only theorize about why we dream and what our dreams mean. Some think that we dream simply because our brains dont sleep in the same way that our bodies do. They think that dreams occur because our brains are active and alert during sleep. Other scientists think that dreaming is more complicated and that we often dream in order to go over problems in our lives that need more attention. According to these scientists, if you have the same dream over and over again, it means that you have a problem in your life that you havent yet solved. They also think that, since your brain is active at night, you might actually be able to solve some problems while you sleep!Some people think that they can interpret the meaning of dreams. It has been said that, if you dream you are falling, you might be worried about something, like a test at school. If you dream that you are flying on an airplane, you might want to see a new place and, if you h
