We’ve learned from a very young age that reading as much as possible is the way to success. If you look at the smartest, most hard-working person around you, you will find they have something in common. There is much we can learn from their reading.Successful people put their heart into one task for a time. Reading isn’t a quick thing. Naturally, some readers may take some breaks or drink a cup of tea ,but many readers simply cannot put a book down and keep it lying there for longer than a day after they’ve been interested in it. Successful people feel the same way. Once they have a task they set out to do it.
Successful people set goals(目标) for themselves whenever they sit down with a good book. They may read a number of pages before doing another activity. They really try to finish something whenever they open a text. They set goals for just about every moment of their life, and continue working towards the goal until they have reached it.
Successful people are usually clever readers. They spend time wisely. They might only have 20 minutes before they have to be somewhere. Many people may think only 20 minutes is not enough to do anything. However, clever readers would spend the 20 minutes in reading. Successful people regard their time as pretty valuable. They spend every minute learning something new, or achieving a goal.

There are many different kinds of disasters around the world. As an adult you know what to do during a disaster, but what about the children? Some adults think it would probably never happen to them, so they don’t teach their children what to do. Before it’s too late, here are ways to help you prepare your child for a disaster:
Educate: It is always good to let your child know about possible disasters. This doesn’t mean children have to live in fear. When teaching them about disasters, keep the conversation positive（积极的）by telling them there is a solution to the disaster. Keep the conversations short, allow for questions and answer honestly.
Prepare: Always be prepared, that is the best advice for children. For example, when preparing for bad weather, get the tools you need, like candles, radios, food, water and medicine. Teach your child what is needed in certain disasters so that they know what is available for them, if ever needed.
Plan: You should always have a plan for you and your child for any dangerous situation. Write out a simple list that they can read. The plan could start with “listen to an adult’s advice and/or call 119”.
Practice: Once you have got the correct safety tools and worked out the right plan, practice every few months. Practicing what to do during a disaster with your child will help them if the time comes.
Disasters can’t be avoided but they can be lessened（减轻）once you are prepared and ready for one.

Dreams
"Dreams(梦) may be more important than sleep. We all need to dream," some scientists say.
Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in colour. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That maybe because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming maybe a way of trying to find an answer.
Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams.
Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can't remember the dream. Dreams can disappear(消失) quickly from memory(记忆).
Too much dreaming can be harmful(有害的). The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.
