As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as 1.     the Nobel Prize. Or they can be small. You just want to become one of the top ten  2.     in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream 3.     ?

Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge.

You may think you’re not very 4.    at some school subjects or you can hardly become a writer. These kinds of 5.    prevent you from reaching your dream, the book says.

In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember the dream in your mind. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep 6.    yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is 7. up of many small ones. Please never give 8.   up.

There will be difficulties 9.      the way to your dreams. 10.    the biggest one comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

Some ways to create more time in your day

Get up earlier

Get up fifteen minutes earlier. Getting up just a bit earlier can give you some breathing space. Perhaps it'll give you time to sit down and enjoy your breakfast. Maybe you can use that fifteen minutes a day to read through a book or part of magazines.

Create a plan

At the start of your workday, make a plan. Write down three important takes you want to achieve that day quickly. Put a big star next to the most important. Now, before you get into the busy work, start on that important task and see it through to the end.

Surprisingly few people take the time to plan their workday, and end up turning around their wheels on a number of unimportant takes without really achieving anything big.

Finish work on time

Finally, one of the best ways to make more time in your life is to finish your work on time! If you work for employer(雇主)，try to leave the office on time--- at least two days each week! If you work for yourself, you need to be even more self-disciplined(自我约束的) !

A TV program has become popular in China recently. It has made people all over China become interested in writing Chinese characters(汉字).

The increasing use of computers and smart phones has left most young people hardly able to write by hand. Many of them are even unable to remember the 10,000 charactersused in daily life without electronic(电子的) help.

CCTV Started the Chinese Character Dictation Competition to improve the population’s handwriting skills. Contestants(参与者) on the show were school pupils, but it was found that 70％of adults in the audience were unable to remember how to write the word “chan chu”.

Because computers allow people to type characters simply by entering pinyin, they don’t need to remember how to write them. “The keyboard age has had a big influence on the handwriting of Chinese characters,” Guan Zhengwen, who designed and directed the show, said. “The influence of technology on people’s writing habits is irreversible. There is nothing we can do about it.” However, he added that he hoped to encourage people to keep it alive as an art form.

Educated young Chinese know that they have forgotten how to write all but the most common Chinese words. “I usually write very slowly,” Zang Xiaosong, 29, a newspaper reporter from Nanjing said. “Most of the time, it seems the characters are somewhere in my head, and it’s just that I can’t remember how to write them.” Sometimes I use a computer to help me remember them.”

Hao Mingjian, an editor of a magazine putting his heart into Chinese characters, said, “Learning Chinese characters goes on throughout your life. If you stop using them for a long time, it is likely that you will forget them.”

1. CCTV started the Chinese Character Dictation Competition to _____.

A. get more money

B. become famous

C. improve people’s handwriting skills

2.Contestants on the show were _____.

A. pupils     B. teachers      C. parents

3.The underlined word “irreversible”, means “_____” in Chinese.
