【推荐2】When I was young, I had a dream. It was to become a policeman. But during these years of my growing up, I have seen so many people around me suffer (忍受) from diseases (疾病), and that is not my dream anymore. I want to be a doctor. It is my dream job because I can help people and being a doctor sounds nice.

If I want to be a doctor I have to work very hard. First, I have to be very good at the high school subjects—math, chemistry (化学) and biology. I also have to study Chinese medicine hard because it is Chinese five-thousand-year traditional culture. It plays a very important role in health care. And I must learn English well, too. Now I’m not very talented in math at school. But I’m trying my best. Then after high school I have to study hard for six to seven years at university and I have to pass several tests before I can become a doctor.

When I am a doctor I can help more people although I’ll have long working hours. I hope my dream will come true.

【推荐1】Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal. But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing? What differs successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action. When you often find some of your lessons very hard, try and keep trying and you’ll be sure to successfully solve any difficulty you meet with.

This is the famous formula (公式) for success: Dream > Believe > Achieve

Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is.

I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula: Dream > Believe> Act > Achieve

For me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action (Act). If you say, “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will always be challenges in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.

Please remember: Persistent action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.

1. What should you do when you find your lessons very hard?

A．Ask people for help.

B．Try and keep trying.

C．Get ready to create wonders.

D．Prepare for a harder one.

2. Which does the writer add to the famous formula?

A．Act.

B．Achieve.

C．Connect.

D．Create.

3. What does the underlined word “challenges” mean?

A．Dangers.

B．Dreams.

C．Success

D．Difficulties.

4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A．Doing Something Valuable	B．Studying Hard and Making Progress
C．Achieving Dreams with Persistent Action	D．Separating Successful People from Dreams

Pull at the rope

Every spring, there are sports meets at many middle schools. When students on the playground crowd into a big circle and shout loudly, “One, two, one, two,” do you know what game is on? It is tug of war.

Tug of war is a team sport between two teams at each end of a rope. There’s a white line in the middle of the field. The winning team is the one that drags the other over the line within the given time limit.

Tug of war first appeared in China 2,400 years ago. The Chu State invented the Gou Ju, a weapon for battle. When an enemy was about to run away, the soldiers used the weapon to hook the enemy and pull him back. Later, the Gou Ju spread from the army to the common people and gradually became today’s tug of war game.

However, there were similar games in ancient Egypt. It was a real competition to train soldiers for war. Teams of three soldiers held each other around the waist and tried to pull the other team over a line on the ground.
