Turn to p,109,and listen to the text,
Early one morning,more than a hundred years ago,an
American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep,He had
been working all night on the design of a sewing-machine but
he had run into a very difficult problem,it seemed impossible
to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle
Despite his exhaustion,Howe slept badly,He tossed and
turned,Then he had a nightmare,He dreamt that he had been
captured by a tribe of terrible savages whose king threatened
to kill and eat him unless he could 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 a rage and ordered his soldiers to
kill Howe,They advanced towards him with their spears raised,
But suddenly the inventor noticed something,There was a
hole in the tip of each spear,
Secret Messages to Ourselves
The inventor awoke from the nightmare with a start,
realizing that he had just found the solution 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 center of the
needle,This was the simple idea that finally enabled Howe to
design and build the first really practical sewing-machine,
Elias Howe was far from being unique in finding the answer
to his problem in this way,Thomas Edison,the inventor of the
electric light bulb,said that his best ideas came to him in
dreams,So did the great physicist,Albert Einstein,Charlotte
Bronte also drew on her dreams in writing Jane Eyre,The
composer,Igor Stravinsky,once said the only way he could
solve his problems in musical composition was to,sleep on
them”,
Secret Messages to Ourselves
To appreciate 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,but still active part
digests your experiences and goes to work on the problems
you have had during the day,It stores all sorts of information
and details which you may have forgotten or never have really
noticed,It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the
brain can send messages to the part you use when you are
awake,However,the unconscious part expresses itself
through its own logic and its own language,It uses strange
images which are sometimes called,secret messages to
ourselves”,
Secret Messages to Ourselves

interview,

这个企业几乎立即遭遇到了金融困难。
run into,
a,run into sth to start to experience a difficult or unpleasant
situation run into trouble/problems/difficulties
b,run into sb informal to meet someone by chance
toss and turn,to be unable to sleep or to sleep badly,

e.g,I couldn’t sleep but kept tossing and turning
in bed all night,
我彻夜在床上辗转反侧不能成眠。
e.g,Rebecca flew into a rage when she realized no one
had been listening to her,
当丽蓓卡意识到没有人在听她说时，她勃然大怒。

suddenly get extremely angry,extremely worried etc 勃

神秘的信息
一百多年前的一个凌晨，一位名叫埃利亚斯 ?豪的美国发明家终
于入睡了。他为设计一种缝纫机已忙了整整一夜，却遇到了一个辣
手的问题：无法让线跟着运转的针顺利地穿进穿出。
尽管他精疲力竭，但却无法安睡。他辗转反侧，并做了一个噩梦。
他梦见自己被一个野蛮民族的人抓住了，该族的国王威胁要把他杀
了吃掉，除非他能造出一台完美的缝纫机。当他在卖力地做这件事
时，却遇到了同样的问题：线老在针头那儿缠住。国王大发雷霆并
命令士兵杀掉豪。士兵们举起长矛向他逼近。就在这时发明家突然
注意到了一个情况：每个长矛顶部都有一个洞眼。发明家从梦中猛
地惊醒，意识到自己已找到了问题的解决办法。他不再用线围绕针
的办法，而是将线穿进针中央的眼里。正是这个简单的主意使豪设
计并制造了第一台真正实用的缝纫机。
神秘的信息
埃利亚斯 ?豪绝非第一个用这种方法解决问题的人。托马斯 ?爱迪
生，电灯泡的发明家声称他最好的主意都来源于他的梦。伟大的物
理学家，爱因斯坦也是如此。夏洛蒂 ?勃朗特也是在梦中得到灵感写
出了, 简 ?爱, 。作曲家，伊格 ?斯坦文斯基曾说他解决音乐创作中
的问题的唯一办法就是“带着问题去睡觉”。
要弄懂梦的价值，你必须弄懂睡梦里发生了什么。即便在那时，
你大脑的某个部分仍在工作。这个无意识但仍活跃的部分在消化你
所经历的事情并解决你白天所遇到的问题。它储存着各种各样的你
自己甚至都遗忘了或压根就未曾真正注意过的信息和细节。只有当
你入睡时，大脑的这个部分才会向你清醒时大脑工作的那个部分发
送信息。然而，这个无意识的部分是通过自己独特的逻辑和语言来
表述意思的。它运用奇怪的影像，这种影像有时被称为“体内的神
秘信息”。

People believe that there are two reasons for making
inventions or discoveries,The first reason is that an
invention is the result of social development,In other
words,if a society has prepared the conditions in
economy,technology and culture,something will be
invented by one person or another,Who does it is just a
historical accident,This theory has some support in the
invention of the steamboat and the airplane,However,
this reason does not explain why a great inventor can
observe more things than others,Therefore,there must
be another reason for inventions,and the second theory
considers the individual as the most important element in
the inventive process,
