Treasure Island has greatly influenced our idea of pirates and has introduced many popular images into our culture:treasure maps marked with an 'X',tropical islands,one-legged sailors with parrots and the black spot.The characters of Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver with his pet parrot,Captain Flint,have become legends all over the world.

In psychology,memory is learning that has continued over time.Memory is divided into three stages,one is sensory (memory,one is short-term memory,and the other is long-term memory.Long-term memory is divided into situational memory,and procedural memory related to "how to do". After understanding memory,what is a sleep stage?Sleep is divided into several different stages as follows,the first stage is just getting ready for sleep,then gently falling asleep,then we go into the deep sleep stage,and finally the rapid eye movement stage. You might think that your brain rests when you sleep,but that's not the case.In fact,our brain is working very hard when we are sleeping. There are different forms of brain waves that match different stages of sleep.When we are just about to get ready for sleep,our brain waves go into a steady (and rhythmic state. When we enter the deep sleep stage,the brain waves will become slower.This stage is very important for our long-term memory.Besides,it's good for getting rid of tiredness ( against disease.Finally,in the rapid eye movement stage,this is when we are often dreaming Why do we sleep?Two very important reasons are that sleep can be very helpful in our health,reducing stress,and that during sleep the brain cleans up waste in the brain and then helps to make those new memories form long-term memories.So,when we don't get enough sleep,we have mood swings,overeating and other problems. Obviously,having a goodnight's sleep is important for our memory. 62.Why does the writer use the questions in the first paragraph? A.To get readers'answers.

However, I gave up these dreams because I was a fat boy. Then I thought about being a doctor. But I am not patient enough to take care of others. Besides, I am afraid of blood.
