Trying to leave work at the office is proving to be a challenge for many British workers, with research showing that heavy workloads，conflicts and bosses all make an appearance in dreams．

Work-related issues are the number one topic featuring in dreams，with colleagues invading shut-eye time more than celebrities．More than 20 per cent surveyed admitted that they regularly dream about their boss．One in three dreams about work when they are stressed in their job and a quarter stated that they dream about a colleague if there was a conflict with them earlier that day．

Of the 2,000 people surveyed, 20 percent dreamed more if they were under pressure or stressed．The research found that the average person dreams most nights，with only 12 per cent saying they never dream．However, dreams often leave people confused，with 52 per cent saying they do not make sense and 60 percent wishing they could know what they mean．

Commenting on the survey carried out by One Poll for Premier Inn hotels，dreams expert Davina MacKail said, “Whether we are asleep or awake, a problem with a colleague or stress at work can really affect us．More than half of the nation stated that their dreams don’t make sense so I have worked with Premier Inn to make a Dream Dictionary to help dreamers to understand why they dream what they do and what those dreams mean.”

For six hours we shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I'd bought in a market in Mozambique.

　　　 Southern Africa was full of stories and visions. We were almost drunk on sensations: the roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometer from clean water.

　　 As we drove towards the setting sun, quietness fell over us. The road was empty -- we hadn't seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving next to me. I glanced in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them -- brown, muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.

　　 I shouted to Dan: "Look!", but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet.

　 They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.

　　　　 "Wild horses?" he said. "Why didn't you wake me up?"

　　　　 "I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds."

　　　　 "Are you sure you didn't dream it?"

　　　　 "You were the one who was sleeping!"

　　　　　 'Typical, he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take."

　　　　 We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.

A group of eight public high school students in Massachusetts, aged l5 to l7, designed and ran their own school within a school. They named their practice the Independent Project. They represented the usual range: two were close to dropping out before they started the project, while others were honors students.

Their guidance teacher was their adviser, consulting with them when the group encountered difficulties. Though they sought advice from English, math and science teachers, they were responsible for monitoring one another’s work and giving one another feedback. There were no grades, but at the end of the term, the students wrote evaluations of their classmates.

The students also designed their own course. In addition to some regular courses, they each took on an ‘individual project’, learning to play the piano or to cook, writing a novel or making a video about domestic(国内的) violence. At the end of the term, they performed their new skills in front of the entire school. The last part of their self - designed course was to do a ‘collective project’ that had social significance. Because they felt the whole experience had been so life – changing， they ended up making a film showing how other students could start and run their own schools.

The project was a success. After returning to their traditional study, the students have high motivation and are doing well. One student who had failed all of his previous math courses spent three weeks teaching the others about probability. The lesson learned here is that if students are given the opportunity to take control or contribute significantly to their own learning they will become more accomplished, more engaged and more knowledgeable.

The students in the project are remarkable because they demonstrate the kinds of learning and  personal growth that are possible when teenagers feel ownership of their high school experience，learn things that matter to them and learn together.

     Just six days after Rankin first attended Congress in 1917，American President Wilson called for a vote to go to war against Germany, as German submarines（潜水艇）attacked American ships during World War I. When Jeanette was called upon to vote，she said，“I want to stand by my country， buy I cannot vote for war.
