Inspirational ideas have a habit of striking in the most unforeseen places . For example , dreams operate on the level of stories , making them primary sources of ideas and inspirations . The following are four great ideas created from dreams ..

When waking up , he realized that a similar event could be different from a different point of view . Through this , the theory of relativity slowly began to fall into place .

The periodic table
While in his mid - thirties , Dmitri Mendeleev , a known Russian chemist , was struggling to place 56 known elements on a periodic table . Then one night in a dream , he saw a table where all aspects fell into place as called for . When he woke up , he wrote it down on a piece of paper .

Twenty years ago , I was a taxi driver . One night I received a call at 12:30 am. When I arrived at the address , the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window . I waited for a while , and no one showed up . In this case , many drivers would just honk (按喇叭）.
But I feared this passenger might be someone who was in need . So I walked to the door and knocked ." Just a minute ," answered an elderly lady . A few minutes later , a small woman in her 80' s stood before me . I helped her take the suitcase to the taxi . She kept thanking me .
Then she gave me an address , and asked ," Could you drive through downtown "" It ' s not the shortest way ," I answered . She said ," I ' m in no hurry . I ' m on my way to a hospice （疗养院）."" The doctor says I don ' t have very long time to live . And I don ' t have any family left ," she continued . I quietly reached over and shut off the meter .
For the next two hours we drove through the city . She showed me the building where she had once worked . We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived . Sometimes she ' d ask me to slow in front of a particular building and stare into the darkness , saying nothing .
When morning broke , we arrived at the address . She asked ," How much should I pay you "" Nothing ," I said . She thanked me and said ," You give an old woman a little moment of joy ." Then behind me , a door was shut . It was the sound of the closing of a life .
We ' re conditioned to think that our lives center on great moments . But great moments catch us unawares . When that woman said that I had brought her a moment of joy , I had good reasons to believe that I had been placed on earth for the single purpose of providing her with that last ride . I do not think that I have ever done anything in my life that was any more important .

" We ' ve seen a big storm heading up to my community and we thought it was just rain ,"" said Japanangka , a local from Lajamanu , a town in the outback （内陆地区） of Australia ." But when the rain started falling , we saw fish falling down . We saw some free-falling down to the ground and some falling onto the roof . It was the most amazing thing we ' ve ever seen ," Japanangka added .
Such unusual natural phenomena have been reported in the past , but Michael Hammer , an expert of fishes who have investigated such things in the past , stated that many times people just came out after the rain and saw the fish scattered （散布） everywhere . They didn ' t actually see it falling out of the sky , but preferred to believe it rained from the clouds , rather than a more sensible explanation --like the fish being flooded out of a waterhole .
However , in the case of Lajamanu ,there are plenty of reasons to believe that the fish did rain down during a storm . There are no watering holes near the town , and the fish picked up from the streets were recognized as spangled perch , a common freshwater fish that has no business being in Lajamanu ."" Normally , the fish is quite large and it ' s not able to be drawn up out of the water and held up in the sky for very long ," Jeff Johnson said ." But clearly that ' s what has happened ."
Another confusing thing about this most recent case of raining fish is that the people of Lajamanu say that at least some of the fish were alive . Dr Hammer said ," As long as they were not lifted too high and frozen mid-air , it would not be impossible for fish to keep alive as they were carried by the storm , even over long distances ."
While uncommon , raining fish isn ' t unheard of . In places like Honduras , for example , it happens yearly . However , in dry places like the Australian outback , it ' s surely something you don ' t expect to see , ever .
27. How does the author start the text
A . By raising a question . B . By quoting a local ' s words .
C . By listing some numbers . D . By making comparisons .
28. What is one of the reasons why people believed the fish in Lajamanu was brought by the storm
A . The fish ' s size . B . The fish ' s weight .
C . The species of the fish . D . The number of the fish .
29. What is the purpose of Dr Hammer ' s words
A . To express his doubt about the fish rain . B . To explain why some fish were alive .
C . To share his experience of fish rain . D . To show his research on fish rain .
30. What can be the best title for the text
A . A big storm happened in Australia B . Why is fish rain in Australia special
C . Fish rain happened in an Australian town D . Why are there strange weather phenomena

书面表达范文
Dear Alex,
I’m sorry to tell you that I can’t go to the West Lake with you on Saturday. I am writing to express my sincere apologies to you.
The reason why I can’t keep my promise is that I have to meet my cousin at the airport with my family that day. You see, he went to America for further study last year, and we haven’t seen each other for nearly a year. So I really should give him a warm welcome. I hope you can understand my situation. Maybe we can make another appointment to go there.
Once again, I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

M: Researchers have come up with a useful method to discourage seagulls from stealing your picnic sandwiches or making a grab for your French fries. The advice is to stare at the birds to prevent any food theft. This valuable tip comes from a study from the University of Exeter in the UK. Researchers conducted tests on the effects of staring at the sea birds.They put a bag of fries on the ground and monitored how long it took gulls to approach and snatch the fries without a researcher looking at the birds. They then carried out the same test, but this time a researcher made eye contact as a bird approached. The birds took extra 21 seconds to approach the food when a researcher stared at them. The researchers concluded that the seagulls were prevented by the human gaze. Only 25 percent of the birds made an attempt to take the researchers' food with the eye contact. Three-quarters of the birds just stood still and looked at the food or flew away. Lead researcher Madeleine Goumas said,“I noticed that gulls seemed to have a bad reputation for food-snatching, but I saw it happen quite rarely. When I did see it happen, gulls often swooped in from behind, and the people were completely unaware. Gulls are often seen as aggressive and willing to take food from humans, so it was interesting to find that most wouldn't even come near during our tests."
