I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was Sociology. The teacher was really inspiring. The class was asked to go out and smile at three people.

I am a very   1  person and thought this would be a piece of cake. Soon after, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald’s. We were standing in line, waiting to be    2 , when all of a sudden everyone around us began to   3  away, and then even my husband did.

As I turned around I   4  a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor   5  men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, he was “  6 ”. His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God’s Light as he searched for   7 . He said, “Good day” as he counted the few coins he had been   8 .

The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all Miss” because that was all they could   9 . He just wanted to be warm.

Then I really   10  it—the compulsion（冲动）was so great that I almost reached out and hugged the little man with the blue eyes.

That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging(判断) my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a   11  tray（托盘）.

I then walked around the corner to the   12  that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s   13 hand. He looked up at me, with   14 in his eyes, and said, “Thank you.”

　　If you ask some people.“How did you learn English so well?”You may get a surprising answer“In my sleep”.

　　These people have taken part in one of recent experiments to test“Learn-While-Sleep”ways. People are now trying these ways in several countries and with several subjects. English is one of them.

　　Specialists（专家）say that“sleep-study”way speeds language learning greatly. They say that the average person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day and this does not effect his rest in any way. A word of warning: sleeping teaching will only strengthen（加强）in your mind what you have already studied while you are awake.

　　In an experiment, people gave lessons over the radio. Each lesson lasted twelve hours from 8 p. m to 8 a. m. People gave the students awake the first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary. At 11 p. m. people let the students listen to a lullaby（催眠曲）to sleep and for the next three hours the radio whispered the lesson again into the students' ears, At 2 a. m. people sent a sharp noise over the radio to wake the sleeping students up for a few minutes to review the lesson. The soft song sent the students back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 a. m. their sleep was over and they had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.
