For the 17 years my life was very happy. Then the first sad thing happened. My mother became very ill. Just before she died, she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room. She said, “Victor and Elizabeth, I’m very happy because you love each other, and because one day you’ll get married. Everyone in the family loves you, Elizabeth. Will you take my place in the family, my dear? I can die happy if you look after them when I have gone.”
My mother died and we were very sad, because we loved her so much. Elizabeth was brave and helped us; her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mother’s death. The time came for me to go to university(大學). I didn’t want to leave my sad family, but we all knew that I should go. It was hard to leave, too, because the parents of my good friend Henry would not let him go to university with me. So I had gone alone.
On my first day at university I met Professor Waldman. He gave a wonderful talk to all the students. He ended his talk by saying, “Some of you will become the greatest scientists of tomorrow. You must study hard and discover everything that you can.”
After the professor’s talk, I thought very carefully. I remembered the storm when I was 15; I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree. From then on, I wanted to use electricity to help people, and I wanted to discover the secrets of life. I decided to work on these two things.
I started to work the next day. I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized that I could learn to be a very good scientist.
The professor and other important scientists helped me. I was interested in my work and I did not take one day’s holiday during the next two years. After two years, I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was the best in the university. My machine would help me answer the most important question of all. How does life begin? Is it possible to put life into dead things? To answer these questions about life I had to learn first about death. I had to watch bodies from the moment when they died and the warm life left them. In the hospital and in the university, I watched the dying and the dead. Day after day, month after month, I followed death, so it was a dark and terrible time.
I built a tall mast(桅桿)about 150 metres high, which is higher than the tallest building in the city, to catch lightning and send the electricity down to my machine in the lab. I believed I could use that electricity to give life to things that were dead.
Then one day, the answer came to me. Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life.

Going to sleep may seem quite boring compared with all the fun things you do while you are awake, but there's a lot going on in your mind and body while you are sleeping.
Sleep, in fact, is as important to your survival（生存） as eating and drinking. Sleep improves your mood, makes you a better athlete and helps you remember and understand what you learned during the day. While you sleep, your body temperature drops. Your heart beats more slowly, A chemical that controls growth, which is called a hormone(荷爾蒙),moves into your bloodstream. Scientists think that sleep brings back energy and improves your immune (免疫)system.
Sleep is like a school day: it's divided into different stages. When you are awake, your brain waves move quickly. As you begin to relax and fall into the first stage of sleep, your brain produces slower-moving waves and you lose awareness (意識) of your surroundings（環境）．As you fall into deeper sleep, your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life. Then, as you begin to drift back into a lighter sleep, your mind becomes more alert(警覺的), and your dreams begin. You are in REM sleep.
REM is the name for the rapid eye movement that happens while you are dreaming. During REM sleep, your eyes move back and forth behind, as though you were watching a movie.
During other stages of sleep, you might move in bed, but during REM sleep you're not making any movement, That's probably because if you could move, your body would act out your dreams. As you get closer to waking up in the morning, you spend more time in REM sleep than in deep sleep, so you dream more. Researchers know that during REM sleep the part of the brain that deals with learning and thinking is very active.
Getting too little sleep can affect your personality. Experts recommend that children get at least nine hours of sleep a night.

① your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life
② your brain produces slower-moving waves
③ your dreams begin
④ you lose awareness of your surroundings

A. You don't move while you are dreaming in REM sleep.
B. During REM sleep, the whole brain is active.
C. The closer to waking in the morning, the more dreams you have.

A. adults get at least nine hours of sleep a night
B. there's nothing going on in your mind while you're sleeping
C. sleep have little impact(影響) on our personality
D. sleep can make us energetic and healthy
When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence if you translate it according to your own language.
Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules(規則) for word order in the study of English, too. If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the listeners can’t understand the speakers’ sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”
“I’ve seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神實際) of the language and use it as the English speakers do.
