My dream is to be an engineer.Should I give history up?\"\nMaybe you are right. After you leave school, it's necessary for you to understand such things. Please remember that at school, besides getting knowledge, you should pay attention to some other important things.\nFirst, try to find what you are most interested in. At school, you study many subjects. Try to find which you like and which you don't like. This may be helpful to you in the future. Second, maybe you don't like math and you want to drop it. But the logical thinking ability from math can help you solve some problems. At school, you should practice your brain by thinking. Third, you should believe in yourself. Maybe you learn English at school, but you don't need to speak English in your daily life at all. You should think learning English can prove that you have the ability of learning languages. Suppose you go to France one day and find a job there. Then you can tell yourself, \"I can do my job well. At school I learned English well, and now I must be able to learn French well, too.\" But if you have no confidence, what will happen?\nTry to challenge yourself as often as possible. I think many of us like playing computer games. When we fail in a game, we always want to try it again. Why? Because we want to get the highest marks, though it is hard for us to get it. If we want to challenge ourselves, we must face more difficult things and make greatest progress.\n\n<question>:\nAt school you should _ .\n\n<options>:\nA study math harder than any other subject\nB stop learning the subjects you don't like\nC not only get knowledge but also improve your ability\nD pay mor e attention to math\n\n<answer>:\n",

If you sat there for some time you might eventually solve it, but scientists say that daydreaming might be a much better way to tackle difficult tasks.\nIn fact, daydreaming has long been misunderstood. It's considered to be a bad thing and often associated with laziness. \"We're harsh on ourselves if we catch ourselves mind wandering,\" says Professor Kalina Christoff from the University of British Columbia in Canada.\nBut the truth is that some of the most important scientific discoveries came about because scientists allowed their minds to wander. For example, Albert Einstein began his theory of relativity when he daydreamed about riding a beam of sunlight to the edge of the universe. And now, research has shown that normal people can also improve their problems solving ability in the same way, reported The Telegraph.\nIn a study, 145 people aged between 19 and 32 were asked to list as many unusual uses as possible for everyday objects. Some of them were given a 12-minute break while the others were not allowed any break from the task. People on the break did not simply relax--some of them were told to carry out a tiring memory task while others did an easier task.\nScientists found that people who did the easier task were daydreaming a lot. They thought about personal issues in the past or in the future because their mind was at ease.\nAfter the break, all participants were asked to return once again to the task of listing unusual uses for everyday objects. It was found that daydreamers improved their performance by 40 percent, while all the other people, including those who didn't have a break and who did tiring tasks during the break, performed the same as before.\n\"People think that when the mind wanders away, it just gets turned off--but we show the opposite,\" explained Christoff.\"A more playful attitude might allow you to call in more resources .\" So when you are struggling to solve complicated problems, it might be better off if you switch to a simpler task and let your mind wander for a while, she suggested.\nAccording to Christoff, people typically spend one-third of their waking time daydreaming. \"It's a big part of our lives, but it's been largely ignored by science.\"\n\n<question>:\n.

One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived there, I walked to the door and knocked, \"Just a minute,\" answered a weak, elderly voice.\nAfter a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.\nWhen we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, \"Could you drive through downtown?\"\n\"It's not the shortest way,\" I answered quickly.\n\"Oh, I'm in no hurry,\" she said. \"I'm on my way to a hospice . I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long.\"\nI quietly reached over and shut off the meter .\nFor the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been ,a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.\nSometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.\nIn the early morning, she suddenly said,\" I'm tired. Let's go now.\"\nWe drove in silence to the address she had given me.\n\"How much do I pay you?\" she asked.\n\"Nothing.\" I said.\n\"You have to make a living,\" she answered. \"Oh, there are other passengers,\" I answered.\nAlmost without thinking, I gave her a hug .
