6 . How to Turn Your Dreams into a Reality

Do you have dreams, visions or plans about things you’d love to have or achieve? Of course you do! We all do. Unfortunately, dreaming is the easy part.     1     The good news is that there are proven techniques that can get you from where you are to where you want to be. Follow this process to bring your dreams to fruition (实现):

Turn your dream into a goal.

When you have a goal, you have a true target. For a greater chance of success, your plan should have a deadline and it must be measurable.     2     Give yourself the gift of setting a deadline and things will start to happen. Make your goal as desirable as possible without being unrealistic. If you feel that your goal is unreasonable, it’s much more difficult to encourage yourself to actually pursue it.

Prioritize (优先化) your goal daily.

    3     You give instructions to your brain thousands of times a day. Let your mind know that your goal is something more important than “I feel like eating a ham sandwich” or “I need to stop at the grocery store on the way home”.

    4    

Difficult goals can rarely be achieved alone; you’re likely to need some help and guidance. Look at the list you made and see what you already have in your life that could help you on your path.

Track your progress.

Measure your progress each day. Use old fashioned paper and pencil or take advantage of the latest smartphone app.     5     You can only adjust your approach if you know how you’re doing. Consider making a chart if that’s applicable to your goal.

A．Read and write your goal each day.

B．Make a list of negative associations.

C．Classify (将……分类) your available resources.

D．Tracking is critical to making continued progress.

E．Turning those dreams into a reality is the challenge.

F．It has been said that dreams are goals without a deadline.

G．So make a list of all the negative stuff that slip into your mind.

9 . We’ve all heard the stories of an actor’s struggles before a career breakthrough: living a hard life, working part-time, being a couch potato before getting that major role. Shelby, the star of “A Dog’s Way Home”, has an unfortunate tale that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill, rooting through garbage for her next meal.

Shelby’s big break came in April 2017, when animal-control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County, Tennessee. Out on an unrelated call, Buhler spotted and approached what she recalled was a noticeably scared puppy emerging from the dump. “I knelt down and just said, ‘Oh, come here, baby,’” said Buhler. “She was so scared, but she came right up to me, and I was able to put her in my truck.” They headed to the county animal shelter, where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl.

Buhler and others didn’t know that 3,200 kilometers away, Hollywood was looking for a dog to play Bella in a film written by Cathryn Michon. The find-a-Bella job went to freelance trainer Teresa Ann Miller. Her mission was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that could play Bella. One day, Miller spotted Baby Girl’s adoption photo. “Honestly, it was a really good picture, and she was flat-out smiling,” Miller said. Then she met Baby Girl, and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands. After assessment, she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter, renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training. Miller and Shelby had trained for just over three months before filming began. Then they were together each day on the set.

Most of the film’s reviews have praised Shelby’s performance. Variety made the comments “an amazing dog, perfect performance!”

Shelby has come a long way from the garbage dump. But Buhler said when she saw Shelby recently she just needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. “She’s exactly the same,” Buhler said.

1. Why does the author mention an actor’s struggles before a career breakthrough at the very beginning?

A．To clearly point out the main idea of the passage.

B．To attract reader’s attention by giving dramatic examples.

C．To introduce a dog’s similar but even more striking experiences.

D．To make a sharp contrast between an actor’s struggle and a dog’s struggle.

2. What finally helped Baby Girl get the big role in the film?

A．Her adoption picture.	B．Her personality and ability.
C．Her flat-out smiling.	D．Her miserable experiences.

3. By saying “She is exactly the same” in the last paragraph, what does Buhler probably mean?

A．The dog looked sad as before.

B．The dog was really excited to live such a happy life.

C．The dog returned to the piles of trash where she found it.

D．The dramatic change of the dog’s life hasn’t changed her inner quality.

4. What do you think may serve as the best title of the passage?

A．The Trainer and Her Star Dog.	B．Shelby’s Unfortunate Story.
C．From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie Star.	D．The Success of “A Dog’s Way Home”.
