怎么+verb：How to

“ I actually just finished a wonderful engrossing book just last week, which I couldn’t put down for a moment, and read from cover to cover in just two days. The book was an autobiography on a very famous musician and member of one of the most famous rock bands in history, the Rolling stones….

 

It was one of my friends who is also interested in music recommended the book to me, as he knew I am a huge fan of the Rolling Stones. That evening I checked out reviews for the book online and everyone was giving it a 5 star rating, so it was off to the bookshop for me to pick up a copy as quickly as I could. 

 

The book basically tells the life story of a music legend from his time growing up as a young child in England in the 1950s to becoming a rock legend, and a founding member of one of the biggest rock bands of all time. It really gave an incredible insight into his life, from a very humble beginning to becoming a megastar. It certainly was not heavy reading, and the author’s sense of humour actually made it light reading.

 

The reasons I really loved this book so much apart from being a lifetime fan of the central character, were firstly…. It gave me an amazing insight into the real life of a rockstar, which was actually very thought provoking…….I also found it very inspiring and uplifting….to discover how this young boy from a very normal background believed in his dreams, and stopped at nothing to achieve them….and of course the crazy journey of a rock star along the way…So….yes…..It really was one of those books that i just couldn’t put down, and would have no hesitation in recommending  to anyone.

Idioms about money

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."
