Communication here means that people talk with each other about what they know, think and feel. We can learn a lot from good communication in our daily life. Part of the communication is unspoken. We sometimes show our feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes(态度). Some personal qualities can make good communication, including appearance, ability to speak, beautiful voice, how to hold the interest of others, and so on.

What should we do so that our communication will be useful? Here are suggestions.

Firstly, you should be yourself. Successful people never change personal character from one situation to another. They’re the same whether they’re having a talk with their close friends or being interviewed for a job. They communicate with their whole being.

Secondly, whether you’re talking to one person or more, always remember to look at them. Don’t break eyes contact while talking. As you enter a room, move your eyes comfortably, and then look directly at those in the room and smile. This shows clearly that you are relaxed. Smiling is important. The best kind of smile is gentle and comfortable.

You should also get together information about other people. If you attend a meeting or an interview, don’t start throwing your opinions at once. Stop for a second. Be sure about what’s going on there. What’s the mood of the others — are they down, up, happy? Do they want to learn from you, or do they show any interest? If you can sense what’s happening to others, you will be better able to reach them. So, listen before you talk.

The fourth suggestion is that you get your energy up. Before the meeting, collect your thoughts about it. You walk calmly through the doorway. Pay attention to the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in. Properly collected energy comes across when you sincerely believe something. Always be confident. The audience(观众) may disagree with you, but they can’t question your belief.

Lastly, I would like to tell you that you should not be too serious. That is to lighten up. Take a good hard look at yourself. Do you say “I” too often? Do you complain often? If you answered yes to even one of the two questions, you are nervous and need to be more relaxed.

Do you and your friends ever talk about your dreams with each other? If you do, you might have noticed something interesting – some of your friends seldom remember their dreams, but some can always describe their dreams so clearly that it seems like they’re describing things that really happened to them. What makes those people different?

The answer is simple. There are two different types of dreamers – low dream recallers（回忆者）and high dream recallers.

Low dream recallers usually remember their dreams only twice a month. But high dream recallers are able to remember them about five mornings a week. And a new study suggests that activity in a certain part of the brain could have something to do with it, reported The Huffington Post.

Perrine Ruby, a French researcher at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, studied 41 people (21 high dream recallers and 20 low dream recallers) and recorded their brain activity.

She found that a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal junction (颞顶联合区) was more active in high dream recallers than in low dream recallers – both when they were sleeping and awake.

This brain area collects and processes（编程）information from the outside world. This means that high dream recallers know more about what’s happening around them. For example, when they are awake, they respond (对……有反应) more strongly to hearing their own names, and when they are sleeping, they are woken more easily by sounds and movements.

By closely studying people’s brain activities, Ruby found that high dream recallers have twice as much “wakefulness time” during sleep as low dream recallers do. And it is during these short times of wakefulness that the brain remembers dreams.

“The sleeping brain is not able to remember new information,” Ruby told The Washington Post. “It needs to wake up to be able to do that.”

This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experiences. If you are worried during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well, you will remember little in the morning, and this is because “you never get a chance to remember”, Robert Stickgold, a Harvard Medical School researcher, told The Washington Post.

1.According to the article, high dream recallers ______.

A. have very little brain activity during sleep

B. can remember their dreams clearly

C. don’t know how to describe their dreams

D. remember their dreams twice a week

2.Compared to high dream recallers, low dream recallers ______.

A. have higher sleep quality

B. have more sleepless nights

C. are more easily woken at night

D. respond faster when hearing their names

3.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?

A. To show the advantages of being a low dream recaller.

B. To suggest what to do to become a low dream recaller.

C. To make readers interested in future studies.

D. To further explain Ruby’s research.
