We live in a world wherein our visuals are judged first before our character. I learned that your outer self should be an excellent reflection of your inner self and so when you invest the time and money working on you, people will also invest in you.

课文十 《大还是小》

有时候，我觉得自己很大。
我自己穿衣服的时候，我自己系鞋带的时候，我觉得自己很大。
有时候，我觉得自己很小。
我够不到按钮的时候，我听到雷声喊妈妈的时候，我觉得自己很小。
有时候，我希望自己不要长大。
更多的时候，我盼着自己快点儿长大。

There is an old theory that eating cheese before bed causes bad dreams, although scientists don't have much evidence to prove it.

But if cheese can't make us dream, new research from the US says that perhaps an app could — and they don't have to be bad dreams!

Researchers experimented with an app that they designed to encourage people to have lucid dreams. These are dreams that feel vivid and real.

During lucid dreams, people know that they're dreaming and may even be able to control what happens in the dream.

Not everyone has lucid dreams. It's thought that about half of us will have them during our lives, but some people may have them regularly.

Lucid dreams may be useful for us: experts think they could encourage creativity and problem-solving, or help us with nightmares.

The app in the study used a method called "targeted lucidity reactivation" that is supposed to make people more likely to experience lucid dreams.

This is usually done in a laboratory, but the researchers wanted to see how effective an app used at home could be.

They did two experiments to see if the app could increase the frequency of participants' lucid dreams.

The first experiment included 19 participants. Before going to sleep, they did a 20-minute activity that encouraged them to enter a "lucid mindset" when they heard certain sounds.

These same sounds were then played during the night. The frequency of the participants' lucid dreams more than doubled during the week of the experiment.

Fifty people completed the second experiment. They were put into three groups, with one group using the targeted lucidity reactivation method.

The people in this group reported that they had experienced more lucid dreams during the week of the experiment than those in the two control groups.

The researchers said these results suggest that apps like this could help people to use sleep for "personal benefits" including "spiritual and personal growth."

App Could Help People to Have Lucid Dreams

La Ciudad de México está llena de lugares que bien podrían describirse como mágicos. Calles, museos, monumentos y avenidas inundan los alrededores de la capital mexicana. Una de las avenidas más largas y emblemáticas de la Ciudad es, sin duda, Paseo de la Reforma, que va desde el poniente de la ciudad, en donde se conecta con Constituyentes, hasta el centro con dirección al norte, conectándose con las calzadas de Guadalupe y de los Misterios, recorriendo 14.7 kilómetros de longitud.

A lo largo de su historia han ocurrido importantes acontecimientos, además de que es centro frecuente de manifestaciones populares y conciertos en donde se han reunido miles de personas. A lo largo de la avenida, que se podría considerar incluso la más importante del país, se pueden encontrar destacados recintos y monumentos, como la Fuente de la Diana Cazadora, el Ángel de la Independencia (el cuál es tomado como un referente icónico de la capital mexicana), la Torre del Caballito, la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, la Torre mayor, la Estela de Luz, entre muchos otros. Es un lugar que no puede faltar en las visitas de los extranjeros que vienen a nuestro país.
