2、he had run into a very difficult problem：It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.Though he was tired，Howe slept badly.He turned and turned.Then he had a dream.He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he co
3、uld build a perfect sewing machine.When he tried to do so，Howe ran into the same problem as before.The thread kept getting caught around the needle.The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe.They came up towards him with their spears raised.But suddenly the inventor noticed so
4、mething.There was a hole in the tip of each spear.The inventor awoke from the dream，realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem.Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle，he should make it run through a small hole in the centre of the needle.This was the simple idea
5、that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.Thomas Edison，the inventor of the electric light，said his best ideas came into him in dreams.So did the great physicist Albert Einstein.C
6、harlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams，you have to understand what happens when you are asleep.Even then，a part of your mind is still working.This unconscious(无意识的)，but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems y

11、!The first thing that I did when I got out of the airport was to cross the road，but I looked the wrong way！In the UK the cars drive on the lefthand side of the road whereas in Spain they drive on the right.I almost got run over because I was still thinking I was in Spain.You have to be very careful.
12、Theres another strange one from travelling on the road.In Mallorca，most of the time，pedestrians(行人) can cross the road by walking on the road without stopping and the car will stop for them.In the UK，however，you have to be careful to wait for the cars to stop or else you might end up in the hospital
13、 very quickly!Drink water.In Spain，most people buy large bottles of water to drink.In the UK the filtering(过滤) of the water means that you can drink straight from the tap.On my first night back I forgot that I could drink water from the taps and spent the night wishing I had a bottle of water.When I
14、 woke up，I realized how silly I had been.Time is different.In Spain there is a small break during the day to have a nap for the rest of the day.You also might only think about going out for a drink with friends in Spain at 11 pm.
