Dream interpreting（理解）is popular in China, and the most famous reference for dream interpreting is the book of Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams.Ancient Chinese people thought that dreams could suggest lucky and unlucky things. Since different dreams have different meanings, people can get meanings of good or bad luck by interpreting them. Actually, dream interpreting is not totally asuperstition. It does have some scientific value. Dreams are the reflection of the facts. Many dreams are actually something about what happened in the daytime. This kind of dream can be easily understood without dream interpreting. Dreams are the bodys self-implication (自我暗示). Traditional Chinese medical science says that dreams are connected with the health condition of humans bodies. When Yin and Yang are imbalanced, dreams come into being. If someone dreamt that he or she was roasted by a big fire, it shows he or she might easily get angry or nervous. Dreams are usually different from the facts. It means that things will develop in the opposite direction when they become worse.To some degree, Duke of Zhou Interprets dreams is scientifically reasonable. Over thousands of years has passed, the book still has many secrets waiting for us to explore.31 .

She gives birth to it and often raises it on her own. However, there are several aquatic animals that are turning this idea upside down.One of the most interesting examples of an excellent ocean dad is the sea horse. The female lays her eggs in a pouch on the front of a male sea horse. When the eggs finally hatch (孵化), the dad gives birth by pushing the tiny new sea horses from the pouch.Another father with a pouch is the Darwins frog. The female lays eggs and the male guards them for about two weeks. When the tadpoles (蝌蚪) come out of their eggs, the father puts them in the big pouch of skin under his chin, where they stay until they are ready to jump out into the dangerous world.The clown fish was made famous by the Disney film Finding Nemo. After the female clown fish lays eggs, the male protects them until they hatch. Thats not all. If the mother fish dies, the dad can turn into a female and be the new mom of the family.Another great ocean dad is the emperor penguin. These dads keep the eggs on top of their feet under a thick fold of warm skin. During the next two months of the Antarctic winter, these fantastic fathers go without food as they keep their eggs warm.While each of these fathers is very different, they all take responsibility for their children. These dads of the water make sure their kids have a safe place to grow so they will have a good life in the future.36 .

I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly. Then he asked, “Are the thing she said true or not? Janet, didnt you ever think about what you are really like? Well, you now have that girls opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldnt change (like being very thin), but a good number I could - and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a very clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He wouldnt like to take it. “That is just for you,” he said, “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you will find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Dont shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do the right thing.”Daddys advice has returned to me at many important periods. In my life, I have never had a better piece of advice.45 .
