As school kids, we have many dreams. Some dreams may be very big, ________ winning the Nobel Prize (诺贝尔奖) or being a scientist. But others may be very ________.You may just want to get good grades in an exam.

What did you do with your dream? Did you ever try to make it ________? Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that realizing (实现) our dreams is life’s biggest challenge (挑战). You may think you’re not very good ________ some school subjects, or that it ________ impossible (不可能的) for you to become a writer. All these kinds of thoughts may stop you from heading to your dream.

However, you can reach your goal (目标) ________ you work hard. Do the following things. First, remember what your dream is. Keep telling ________ what you want, and you will be closer to your dream. Then, make plans little by little, because Rome is not built in one day. A big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.

Also, you must ________ give up (放弃) your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dream. But the biggest ________ comes from yourself. You need to decide what is most important and keep heading to your goal. Studying instead of (代替) watching TV will help you get ________ exam results.

This was a very interesting story. I _________ thousands of classes since I started school nine years ago. But one class was the most important of all.

It happened last term just after I had got a bad result in _________ exam. I was sad and had lost my confidence. I decided _________ to a class _________ can tell me how to be successful. The speaker walked into the room. But he did not start talking like a teacher. Instead, he held up a twenty yuan note!

“Who wants this?” he asked. Unsurprisingly, _________ of us in the class held up our hands. The speaker smiled. Then he put up the note on the blackboard and asked the same question. Again, we put up our hands. The speaker kept _________, but said _________. Suddenly, he threw the note onto the floor! Then he asked the same question for the third time.

I didn’t understand the speaker. Why was he asking the same question again and again? I didn’t know what to do. I wanted the note, so I put my hand up again. “You have all just told me how to become successful.” He said to us _________ the note in his hand. “The note is worth twenty yuan. It is always worth twenty yuan, even though I throw it on the floor. You are like the note. No matter what happens to you, you still have your worth.”

Hearing those words, I _________ deeply. Suddenly, I realized I was worth a lot. I may have failed, but it doesn’t mean I can’t do well in the future. If I believe in __________ I will be successful!
