Since the age of three,Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. She won her first competition at five and kept dancing through her school years. She made the high school dance team and everything seemed to work for the dream as a dancer.
However, that ambition nearly ended one night in 2010. Hill, then a 17-year-old high school senior in Pacific Grove, California, was in a car accident that put her in the hospital for 51 days and that left her paralyzed(瘫痪的) from the waist (腰部)down. For most people, that would have made them give up any hope of a dancing career. For Hill, it was just the beginning. Far from being an obstacle(障碍), her wheelchair cheered her. \" I want to prove to my community - and to myself that I am still normal',\" she told Teen Vogue. \" Whatever normal means.”
Normal for her meant dancing, so Hill did it in her wheelchair right alongside her non-disabled high school dance team.”Half of my body was taken away from me, and I have to move it with my hands,\" Hilil told Today. \"It certainly took a lot of learning and patience. \"
After graduation, Hill wanted to make her dance network bigger. She met many women like her online, shared her ideas with them and invited them to dance with her. \"It was such an amazing experience,\" she said.
Hoping to meet more people in a larger city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities. In the dancing competitions between
the disabled around the country, the team has brought a big surprise to many people.\" want to break down the stereotype(刻板印象) of wheelchair users and show that dance is dance, whether you're walking or you're rolling,\" she told CBS News.
Chelsie Hill has made her childhood dream come true. She's a dancer. But her dance dream has helped her find something else.

Every new parent knows, or learns pretty quickly, that rocking can make that noisy baby fall sleep easily. But recently a new study has shown that rocking also helps grown-ups get a good night's sleep.
“Adults may sleep better and remember more of what they have learned before when they are rocked to sleep ,”says Aurore Perrault, a sleepresearcher at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. Rocking beds might provide a new way to help people with sleeping disorders and older people who often have trouble sleeping.
Her team had previously (先前)found that rocking helped people fall asleep when they had a short afternoon sleep.
To test if it helps at night too, 18 men and women with an average(平均的) age of 23 spent three nights sleeping in the lab. They got used to the lab on the first night. Then, on either the second or third night, they were rocked during the whole night. The bed they slept on was hung from posts at each comer, and pushed 10 cm to one side and back every 4 seconds.
The results showed that when the bed was rocked people fell asleep more easily and slept better. \" They all thought that the rocking night was pleasant and relaxing, \" says Perrault.
Before going to sleep, the volunteers had to memorize word pairs. The volunteers did better in morning tests after a night of gentle rocking sleep.
The team have no idea why it works. But they have also shown that mice sleep better too when rocked. Perrault says next she wants to see if the effect lasts as people
get used to the rocking. She also wants to try it out on older people and those with sleeping disorders.

Happiness of helping others
Months ago, my teacher asked me to help my classmate Mike with his math. Before helping him I felt a little nervous, so I went over the textbook again and again, and did lots of exercises. To my surprise,I could even work out some difficult
problems that I couldn't understand before.
In order to help Mike with his math, I made Mike go over what he had learned every day, and also helped him with his homework. During the weekends we did exercises together. With my help, Mike made great progress in math. Later he even enjoyed learning it.
From this experience, not only did I help him out of his trouble, but also I improved my own math. I have realized that helping others is helping ourselves.
