If something that you're doing doesn't challenge (向…挑战) you, then it doesn't change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. 1. So challenge the following limits:
1. Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously．
If you're a salesman, and you're scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. 2. But don't stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, "Go on, I'm not scared!"
2. Take a class for a hobby you've been wanting to develop.
Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while doing this. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on. You will challenge yourself by learning something new. 3.
3. 4.
You don't need to go to the gym. A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself.
Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself．
4．Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people．
5. try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they're going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class. Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.
A．You should make a plan before you travel.
B．Set aside at least a few minutes a day for physical exercise.
C．Running may be a better choice.
D．Don't just limit yourself to your fellow travelers.
E．Taking a class for what you like may give you extra income as well.
F．You may upset people a little bit sometimes.
G．You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.
When you tidy your messy bedroom, it gets a lot easier to find things. Dreams may work the same way for a messy brain, helping you learn by organizing memories and ideas.
To test how much dreams can help learning, Robert Stickgold had some students play a shape-fitting game called Tetris (饿罗斯方块) for a few hours and then go to sleep. Soon they were dreaming of falling Tetris shapes. Interestingly, the worst Tetris players had the most Tetris dreams and improved their game the most. Similar tests have shown the same results for all kinds of skills.
As we dream, many important tasks are getting done. The brain decides what to keep and what to forget. It is connecting new experiences to older learning. In fact, the brain is learning all night long.
Another important task of dreams may be to help us deal with emotions(情绪). At night, emotions are in the driver's seat. People who have had an upsetting experience often dream about it afterward. Often the dream event changes somehow--another way the brain tries to make the memory less upset. So if your best friend moves away, you might dream that you're the one who's moving. In fact, dreams have a proven power to improve mood, and people who dream about what's bothering them usually feel better sooner than those who don't.
Everybody dreams for a couple of hours every night--in the course of your life, you'll spend about 25 years asleep and 6 years dreaming. There's probably no single answer to the question why we dream, but there doesn't have to be. One dream might help you remember your math facts, while another might lead to a new invention, or give you a fun, crazy story to tell your friends. It's all in a night's work for our busy, mysterious brains.
1.Robert Stickgold's test shows that________.
A. games are useful for memory
B. tasks can only be settled through dreams
C. players stop learning in dreams
D. dreams can help improve skills
2.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that_______ .
A. dreams can get rid of sufferings
B. only drivers can deal with emotions
C. one may be less upset after a dream
D. dreams can copy what one experienced
3.Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A. Dreaming does harm to one's mood.
B. Dreaming affects the quality of sleep.
C. It's not so important to know the cause of dreaming.
D. It's hard to find out the secrets of dreaming.
4.What does the text focus on?
A. Dreams and memories. B. The patterns of dreams.
C. Dreams and emotions. D. The benefits of dreams.
