Daydreams are not dreams, because we can only daydream if we are awake. Also, we
choose what our daydreams will be about, which we cannot usually do with dreams.
With many daydreams, we know that what we imagine is unlikely to happen. At least,
if it does happen, it probably will not do so in the way we want it to. However, some
daydreams are about things that are likely to happen. With these, our daydreams often
help us to work out what we want to do, or how to do it to get the best results. So,
these daydreams are helpful. We use our imagination to help us understand the world
and other people. Daydreams can help people to be creative. People in creative or
artistic careers, such as composers, novelists and filmmakers, develop new ideas
through daydreaming. This is also true of research scientists and mathematicians. In
fact, Albert Einstein said that imagination is more important than
knowledge because knowledge is limited whereas imagination is not.

Questions:

1. We can decide what to dream

2. Not all day dreams come true.

3. Day dreaming helps in formation of new ideas.

4. Day dreams may become dreams.

5. Issac Newton said that imagination is more important than knowledge

The Thames Tunnel was a tunnel built under the River Thames in London. It was
the first subaqueous tunnel ever built and many people claimed it was the Eighth
Wonder of the World at the time it was opened. It was opened in 1843 to
pedestrians only and people came from far and wide to see the marvel. The day it
was first opened, it attracted fifty thousand people to enter the tunnel and walk its
length of almost 400 metres. The Thames Tunnel was used by people from all
classes. The working class used it for its functional use of crossing from one side
of the river to another, while for the middle classes and upper classes, it was a
tourist experience. In the age of sail and horse-drawn coaches, people travelled a
long way to visit the tunnel, but this was not enough to make the tunnel a financial
success. It had cost over £500,000 to complete which in those days was a
considerable amount of money. However, even though it attracted about 2 million
people each year, each person only paid a penny to use it. The aim had been for the
tunnel to be used by wheeled vehicles to transport cargo so that it could bring in a
profit. But this failed and the tunnel eventually became nothing more than a tourist
attraction selling souvenirs. In 1865, the tunnel became part of the London
Underground railway system which continues to be its use today.

Questions:

1. The Thames Tunnel was the first tunnel ever built under a river.
2. The Thames Tunnel was the Eighth Wonder of the World.
3. The tunnel was used more by the middle and upper classes.
4. People were able to travel by sea or land in those days.
5. The aim of the tunnel was to turn a profit as a tourist attraction.

But salt is also an essential element. Without it, life itself would be impossible
since the human body requires the mineral in order to function properly. The
concentration of sodium .ions in the blood is directly related to the regulation of
safe body fluid levels. And while we are all familiar with its many uses in cooking,
we may not be aware that this element is used in some 14,000 commercial
applications. From manufacturing pulp and paper to setting dyes in textiles and
fabric, from producing soaps and detergents to making our roads safe in winter, salt
plays an essential part in our daily lives. Salt has a long and influential role in
world history. From the dawn of civilization, it has been a key factor in economic,
religious, social and political development in every corner of the world, it has been
the subject of superstition, folklore, and warfare, and has even been used as
currency.
