Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?
Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.
In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.

Robby was 11 years old when his mother (a single mom) dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I prefer students begin at an earlier age, which I explained to Robby. 21 Robby said that it had always been his mother’s 22 to hear him play the piano. So I took him as a student.
Hard as Robby tried, he lacked the 23 of music. However, he persisted and at the end of each weekly 24 he’d always say, “My mom’s going to hear me play someday.” But it seemed 25 . I only knew his mother from a distance as she dropped Robby off or waited in her aged car to 26 him up. She always 27 and smiled but never visited my class. Then one day Robby 28 coming to our lessons. He telephoned me and said his mother was 29 .
A few weeks after that, I was 30 my students for the upcoming recital when Robby came and asked me 31 he could be in the recital. “Miss Hondorf… I’ll just go to play!” he insisted.

The science part begins with the shape of the arch(弓)of your foot, which anyone can find out at home with this quick experiment: Put your foot in water and place it on a piece of brown paper. If you see a “C” shape on the paper when you remove your foot, you have a rare high arch. If the shape looks more like a rectangle, that means you have flat feet. See something in between? That’s a normal arch.
Conveniently for shoppers, shoe companies nowadays divide their shoes in three categories: neutral(for high arches), stability(for normal or low arches) and motion control(for flat arches). So you will know which type suits you.
At this point, most people would just grab an appealing shoe and try it on. But professionals would do a few quality-control tests. First, you bend the shoe toe to heel to see where it bends. If it’s not at the forefoot---where the foot actually bends, be afraid. Then you grip both ends and twist in opposite directions. If you can twist it like a towel, it means there’s zero support. Finally, you squeeze(挤)the heel in both directions. A stable heel won’t cave in.
Now you need to check the mold(模子)that shapes the inside of the shoe: whether it’s wide or narrow in the mid-foot, how it sits on the heel and how roomy the toe box is.
It’s wise to hold off until the afternoon to make the shoe purchase, to allow for any swelling(肿胀) that your feet do throughout the day. Toes also decide sizing choice. The rule is you need a finger’s width from your longest toe (whether that’s your big one or not) to the end of the shoe.

C.The toes become longer late in the day. |

It was not. Horowitz did badly in his studies, had few friends and was bullied (欺负) for five years. “My teachers couldn"t have had a lower opinion of me,” he said. “I wasn"t even smart enough to rebel . The one thing I remember from the very earliest age was this desire to write. When I was 10 years old, I remember asking my parents to get me a typewriter for my birthday because I wanted to be a writer.”
Now, at age of 55, Horowitz is one of the world"s most successful children"s book authors. His Alex Rider series has sold more than 5 million copies, and the eighth book featuring the young spy, Crocodile Tears, came out this month.
The Alex Rider books tell the adventures of 14-year-old Alex Rider, an agent for the British intelligence agency M16.
Horowitz said he doesn"t try to write for kids; it just comes out that way. “I have a feeling it"s to do with purity and simplicity. I give as little information as is necessary to describe the room, the character in the room, and get on with the action,” he said.
The style has also made Horowitz a successful writer of television shows for adults in Britain because, he says, writing books for kids is a lot like writing television for grown-ups: In both cases, it"s all about entertaining people with a good story.
Now, Horowitz couldn"t be happier with his life. He sums up his success: “…you can be anything you want to be if you just believe in yourself. I do believe it completely.”
小题1:In the boarding school, Horowitz’s teachers .
A.often criticized him | B.showed great concern for him |
C.taught him how to write stories | D.thought little about his ability |
A.He was the beloved child of his family. |
B.He benefited a lot from boarding school. |
C.He emphasizes the plot rather than character in stories. |
D.Although he is successful, he isn’t very happy. |
A.Confidence is the key to success. | B.Hardship teaches valuable lessons. |
C.Interest is the best teacher. | D.Industry is the parent of success. |
A.Campus Trends | B.Culture & Leisure |
C.Our World | D.Science Life |
In fact, it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend(配偶), a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal, Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen -- the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (面包屑)you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal(泄露)what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
The key question is: Does that matter?
For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no."
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it A survey found an overwhelming pessimism(悲观)about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me."
But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费处)to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券).
But privacy does matter -- at least sometimes. It’s like health: When you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.
小题1:What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?
A.Friends should open their hearts to each other. |

C.Friends should always be faithful to each other. |

A.Modern society has finally evolved into an open society. |
B.People leave traces around when using modern technology. |
C.There are always people who are curious about others’ affairs. |
D.Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities. |
A.They change behaviors that might disclose their identity. |
B.They use various loyalty cards for business transactions. |
C.They rely more and more on electronic devices. |
D.They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it. |
A.people will make every effort to keep it |
B.its importance is rarely understood |
C.it is something that can easily be lost |
D.people don’t cherish it until they lose it |
