16、 the last eight years, Jo Meade rode her bike each Sunday on a 16-mile round trip to her job washing dishes. It took more than an hour each way. Other days of the week she would spend two hours on three buses from her apartment to get to the other work, for a four-hour round trip.That was the “befor

17、e” part of her life. The “after” part of her life was started by the community Police Officer Trevor Arnold, who delivered a used car to her with the help of a car dealer and other donors.Arnold, who spotted Meade, red and sweaty, riding her bike in the worst heat this summer, decided he would het h

18、er a car. He intended to quietly buy her a used car out of his own pocket so he turned to his friend Kody Slaght, a car salesman to ask about a car priced $1,000.

Almost all researchers in sleep explain that nightmares are a reaction to negative experiences that happen d

24、uring waking hours. However, some of them believe that nightmares do have some real benefits. One 2017 study, for example, found that frequent nightmare sufferers rated themselves as more empathetic（共鸣的）. They also displayed more of a tendency to unconsciously mirror other people through things like

25、 yawning. People who have constant nightmares also tend to think further outside the box on psychoanalysis tasks.

Whats more, this imagi

30、native richness is unlikely to be limited to sleep, but also is filled with waking thought and daydreams.
