12．Many people think dreams are full of messages that may not be clear to us common people．But if we think about what is going on in our lives，we can usually come up with an answer．Let's look at some of the most common dreams．What do these dreams mean？
Falling
You're falling，falling，falling…and then you wake up．Thi s dream is said to mean you are afraid of something or worried about something．There may be something in your life that is out of control and there is nothing you can do to stop it．Another explanation is that you may experience failure in something．Maybe you're not doing well in school or work．
Taking an exam（or forgetting that you have one）
You suddenly realize you have to take an exam at that very moment．You might be running here and there to find your classroom．Experts say this dream may mean you're being tested about something or maybe you are facing a challenge．
Flying
Dreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things．You are in control of the things that matter to you．It may also mean you have confidence in yourself and think no one and nothing can beat you．
Trying to run，but going nowhere
You're trying to run，but either of your legs won't move or you simply aren't going anywhere．Some experts think this dream means you're trying to do too many things at once and can't catch up or move forward．
In fact，unlike these dreams，there are also many strange dreams that experts may not be able to explain．

9．Laughter makes you feel good．And the good feeling that you get when you laugh remains with you even after the laughter disappears．Humor helps you keep a positive，optimistic outlook through difficult situations，disappointments，an d loss．
More than just a pause from sadness and pain，laughter gives you the courage and strength to find new sources of meaning and hope．Even in the most difficult of times，a laugh---or even simply a smile-can go a long way toward making you feel better．And laughter really is contagious （有傳染的）-just hearing laughter primes your brain and readies you to smile and join in the fun．
Laughter strengthens our relationships by bringing positive feelings and building emotional connections．When we laugh with one another，a positive bond is created．This bond fights stress，disagreements，and disappointment．
Shared laughter is one of the most effective tools for keeping relationships fresh and exciting．All emotional sharing builds strong and lasting relationship bonds．Laughter unites people during difficult times．
Having more humor and play into your daily interactions can improve the quality of your love relationships-as well as your connections with co-workers，family members，and friends．
Laughter is your birthright，a natural part of life that is inborn．Little babies begin smiling during the first weeks of life and laugh out loud within months of being born．Even if you did not grow up in a family where laughter was a common sound，you can learn to laugh at any stage of life．
One essential characteristic that helps us laugh is not taking ourselves too seriously．We've all known someone who takes everything with deathly seriousness and never laughs at anything．No fun there!
The ability to laugh，play，and have fun with others not only makes life more enjoyable but also helps you solve problems，connect with others，and be more creative．People who include humor and play into their daily lives find that it renews them and all of their relationships．
Life brings challenges that can either get the best of you or become playthings for your imagination．When you"become the problem"and take yourself too seriously，it can be hard to think outside the box and find new solutions．But when you play with the problem，you can often transform it into an opportunity for creative learning．

5．As part of an effort to improve treatments for life-threatening illnesses，a team of scientists have created rabbits that glow in the dark．
Their efforts have produced two rabbits out of a litter of eight that went from being a normal，soft white to glowing green in the dark．The rabbits were born at the University of Istanbul as part of the collaboration between scientists from universities in Turkey and Hawaii．
The rabbits glow to show that a genetic operation technique can work efficiently，though the specific color is more cosmetic than scientific．"The green is not important at all-it's just a marker to show the experiment can be done successfully，"said University of Hawaii associate professor，Stefan Moisyadi．
To produce the glowing effect，researchers injected jellyfish（水母）DNA into a mother rabbit's embryos．Then those embryos were inserted back into the mother．Similar experiments have resulted in glowing cockroaches（蟑螂）and cats．
Eventually，the researchers hope the technique can lead to new ways to produce medicines，Moisyadi said．
"The final goal is to develop animals that are able to produce beneficial molecules（分子）in their milk that can be cheaply extracted（提�。�，especially in countries that cannot afford big factories that make drugs，which  usually cost US $1 bn to build．Then they will be able to produce their own protein-based medication in animals，"Moisyadi said．
The rabbits are expected to have the same life span as their non-glowing counterparts，but Moisyadi said he understands people can object to this kind of experimentation involving live animals．
"To the people against，I say：think about，what are the benefits and what are the injuries？"Moisyadi said．"And if the benefits outweigh the injuries，let's go with the benefits．"
Moisyadi，a native of Turkey who is now with the University of Hawaii，started developing the project in 2006，and researchers are now waiting to see if pregnant sheep produce similar results．

4．The UK government has begun a campaign to help people with disabilities get into the workplace．The campaign includes a plan to offer disabled young people new internships（實(shí)習(xí)）and training to help them find jobs．Ministers want firms to change their employment policies after government research showed that employers'attitudes were a barrier to disabled people．
An advertising campaign for the initiative（倡議）was announced to the public in London on Thursday at a disability employment conference．The campaign will ask employers to recognize the talents that disabled people can offer，and"challenge some of the prejudices．"
Prime Minister David Cameron said，"This isn't just about doing what is right for disabled people．Employing disabled people makes business sense，too．We need to deal with the complexities of employing disabled people，or put it more simply，to give employers more confidence．"
As part of the new initiative，a government-funded scheme will be available to 16-to 24-year-olds who have complex learning difficulties and disabilities．Youngsters who sign up for an internship，which will be run by further education colleges，will get help from expert career coaches and work for at least six months．Under these"traineeships"，young people will get assistance in writing a CV，interview practice，work placements of up to five months and training in English and maths．Employers will also be given help from the same coaches and encouraged to take on disabled young people．
There are nearly seven million disabled people of working age in the UK，and their employment rates have increased slightly over the past decade，from 42.2% in 2002 to 46.3% in 2012．
Last year，the government announced that 27 Remploy factories，which provide employment opportunities for disabled people，were to close．The closures followed advice by an independent review into the way the government spent its disability employment budget．It suggested that the government should use the budget to support individuals，rather than factory businesses．
