Did you have any interesting dreams last night? Do you know everyone dreams?
But not everyone remembers their dreams. A person can usually have up to seven dreams a night, and each dream usually lasts from 10 to 40 minutes.
Why do we dream? Scientists believe that we dream to remember because dreams
come from our memories and they tell us a lot about ourselves. They also help us
learn from the past and even help us solve problems.
Different dreams mean differently to people. For example, if you dream about
flying, you are probably quite happy. This is a good time in your life. You may feel that other people see you as a leader. And when you dream that you didn’t study for a test, it usually means you are worried about an important thing coming in your life.

Noah Webster was born on October 16,1758, in the West Division of Hartford, where his father farmed and worded as a weaver. His mother was a housewife.
Few people went to college at that time, but Noah loved so much to
learn that his parents let him go to Yale, Connecticut's only college.
Noah graduated in 1778. He desired(渴望) to study law, but his parents
didn't have more money to send him to school. So, in order to make a
living, Noah taught in Glastonbury, Hartford and West Hartford. Later
he studied law.
Noah did not like American schools. Sometimes 70 children of all ages were
crammed(挤满) into one-room schoolhouses with poor books and untrained teachers.
Their books came f rom England. Noah t hought that Americans should learn from American books, so in 1783, Noah wrote his own textbook A Grammatical institute of the
English Language. Most people called it the “Blue-Backed Speller” because of its blue cover.
For 100 years, Noah’ book taught children how to read, spell, and pronounce
words. It was the most popular American book of its time. Ben Franklin used Noah’s book to teach his granddaughter to read.
When N oah was 43, he started writing the first American dictionary. He did that because Americans in different parts of the country spelled, pronounced and used
words differently. He thought that all Americans should speak in the same way. He
also thought that Americans should not speak and spell just like the English. Noah
used American spellings like color instead of the English colour and music instead of musick. He also added American words that weren't in English dictionaries like
skunk and squash. He spent over 27 years writing his dictionary. When Noah
accomplished(完成) his dictionary in 1828, at the age of 70, the first American
dictionary came out. It had 70，000 words in it.
Noah did many things in his life. He worked for copyright laws, wrote textbooks. Americanized the English language, and edited magazines. When N oah Webster died in 1843, he was considered an American hero.
