I used to watch her from my kitchen window. She seemed so ______ among the tall kids on the playground. The school was ______ the street from my home and I would often watch the kids as they played during a break. She would ______ dribbling(控球) and shooting over and over again.

One afternoon I asked her ______ she always kept playing. She smiled, I want to go to University of California and the only way for me is to get a scholarship. I like basketball a lot. I believed that if I were ______enough to play college basketball, I would get a scholarship. My dad told me if the dream is big enough, the ______don't count. "

Well, she appeared to be very confident. I ______ her from junior into high school.

One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass ______. I walked to her and asked what was the matter. "Nothing," replied the girl in a ______ voice, "Many people told me that I was too short to play for a top team, ______I should stop dreaming about university."

I asked if she had told her father about it. She said that her father thought they were ______. They just didn't understand the great ______ of a dream. If she truly wanted a scholarship, then nothing could ______ her except one thing—her own attitude(态度).

The next year, because of her perfect ______ in the California Championship game, she was chosen by a college recruiter(招生人员). She was going to receive the college education that she had ______and worked toward for all those years.

It's true: If the dream is big enough, the facts don't count.

One day, while his mother was out hunting, the gray cub（幼兽）found the way out of the cave. At first, he was afraid. But the need to know and understand was greater than his fear, so he went out. He soon discovered that the floor of the world was not flat like the floor of the cave. And he fell, screaming in fear.

But he soon sat up, and started walking and looking around him. He met a squirrel, and a woodpecker, both of which moved away from him. So he learned that the world had things that stayed in one place, and other things that moved.

He had beginner’s luck when he fell into a ptarmigan’s nest. In the nest were seven chicks. He realized this was meat, like his mother gave him. So he ate them all. As he walked away from the nest, the mother ptarmigan（雷鸟）attacked him. He fought back, biting her wing with his small teeth. He was excited and happy. He was fighting for meat, fighting to kill. It was what wolves did.

Then he left the ptarmigan free and rested. As he watched her, something rushed down from above him, picked up the ptarmigan and flew back up into the sky. It was an eagle.

He was learning. Live things were meat, but if they were big enough, live things could also hurt. It was better to eat small live things.

Later something small jumped in front of him, so he put his paw on it. It was a young weasel（鼬鼠）. It made strange noises, and soon the mother weasel appeared. She jumped at his neck and bit him with sharp teeth. She wasn’t big, but he didn’t know how dangerous weasels were.

Suddenly she jumped, and bit into his throat. He tried to fight, but the weasel held on. The cub was sure to die, but luckily his mother, the she-wolf, heard his frightened calls and came to save him.

A new font(字体) designed by a Finnish software company could make your writing more polite and hopefully reduce cyberbullying(网络暴力).

Polite Type, developed by TietoEVRY, replaces harmful language with nicer words as you type. For example, if you type “you are ugly”, it will be replaced with “you are not traditionally beautiful”.

“We want bullies(欺凌者) to rethink the words they use and the actual meaning behind them,” said company manager Kia Haring.

The problem of cyberbullying has been around since the internet was invented. Nearly everyone who has used the internet has experienced it, or at least seen it in action.

Polite Type is a good step in the right direction. But how do we really deal with cyberbullying? For one, we can choose to be “invisible (隐形的)”—that is, to surf the internet without making any profiles (个人资料) or leaving any comments(评论). This, however, isn’t a real solution, as it forces us to give up our right to “exist (存在)” online.

We can also choose to simply take no notice of bullies. However, this isn’t perfect either, as it can be hard to forget people who are especially cruel (残酷的).

A better solution could be to block and report. If you block someone on social media, they won’t be able to see or comment on your posts. Most websites have rules against harmful language if you report a bully’s profile to the website, they will often stop that person from using the website. Sometimes direct action like this is the best action to take.

Criticism(批评) is everywhere in life, so you need to learn how to deal with it.

You cannot stop what people say.     41     At the criticism, to accept or to refuse? To be happy or to be sad? It all depends on you.     42     Will you lose something important because you are criticized? Surely not! So, don’t worry about it. Instead, some criticism do helps you improve in fact.

Don’t be afraid to accept criticism. No one likes to be told that he is wrong.     43     Realize that it’s normal(正常的). You may have received some strong criticism, but it doesn’t mean that you are foolish, or that you don’t have the ability to do something properly. If you can learn to be active, you will reduce some stress and nervousness about what people think.

    44     It may help you find out what causes the criticism. Is the person just trying to offer useful criticism? Then think it over and get what is useful for you. On the other hand, there are persons who offer their advice just to be useless.     45     You needn’t be angry about that.

Do your best. And if someone doesn’t like what you’ve done, so what? It’s either valid(有效的) criticism or invalid criticism. But you have the power to decide how you will allow it to influence you.

Could you imagine being in a car driven by a computer, not a human? Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August, driverless taxis have run on roads in big cities like Shenzhen and Wuhan. Why do we develop self-driving cars?

Self-driving cars give us many benefit (好处). They use computers to feel the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams and better parking of cars. For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily.

Every year, many road accidents happen around the world. The main cause of them is human error. With self-driving cars, road accidents can reduce by 90 percent. Because self-driving cars use computers to make good decisions, they won’t lose focus like humans do.

But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react as fast as a human driver can. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars will struggle to see the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident.

It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight on our roads.

Luckily, China is taking the lead in making this happen.
