18.This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant,especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing.Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what's happening around them.They can seem forgetful and clumsy.(36)A  They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history.(37)C Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First,understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others.Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.(38)B  And if you want to improve your chances of havinga creative idea while you're daydreaming,try to do it while you are involved in another task-preferably something simple,like taking a shower or walking,or even making meaningless drawings.
It's also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate."Mindfulness",being focused,is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.(39)E
Finally,you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.(40)G
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.

A.They stare off into space and wander by themselves.
B.Having interesting things to think about also helps.
C.Without wandering minds,we wouldn't have Coke or Post-it notes.
D.At one time,daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
E.It involves slow,steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.
F.Daydreams are often very simple and direct,quite unlike sleep dreams,which may be hard to understand.
G.Therefore,it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're in the daydream zone.

分析 文章说明了"白日做梦"现象事实上有很有助于创造性思维的开发.

8.How to communicate effectively
Effective communication is a must for everyone who hopes to be successful.It helps express your thoughts and improves your career prospects(前景) as well as strengthens relationships.Therefore,it's necessary to work hard to improve your communication skills.
(36)ABefore you are ready to talk to a group of people,you should think about what you are going to talk about.Although a printed copy of a speech may not be always necessary,highlighting a few important issues in your mind is a must.(37)DAnd it reduces the possibilities of getting away from the main issues.
Choose your words.
Choice of words is the most important part of any communication.Simple,clear words are appropriate for the issue you are discussing.Needless to say,words that could make your audience unpleasant are best kept out of the communication.Most people tend to be careful about their language while at work.(38)CThis may hurt your loved ones beyond your imagination.
Use your body language properly.
Many people use body language by mistake and end up making a fool of themselves.Body language means keeping eye contact and using hand gestures only wherever required.(39)GThis will make your talk more of a stage performance and defeat its purpose.
Listen and concentrate.
Communication is an exchange of ideas.Once you are done with your part,listen carefully to what other people plan to say.(40)E Get rid of all distractions such as a phone before you begin communication.A distraction not only disturbs your focus,but it also causes your audience's attention to wander.

A.Gather your thoughts.
B.Prepare a copy of a speech.
C.However,when they get home they often use colorful language.
D.This will help you remain focused throughout your communication.
E.If you are giving a speech,it is important that you focus on that activity only.
F.Effective communication is a gradual process and requires efforts on your part.
G.Remember,there is no need to speak every word with a gesture or facial expression.
