As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?
Follow Your Heart by Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream, the book says.
In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to
your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is
the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.
【小題1】Your dreams can be very _______, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.

Everyone needs friends. Friends bring us happiness and hope in our lives. But the ability to make friends changes from person to person. To some people, making friends is easy, and to others it’s very difficult.
Making friends is a skill, and the first thing is to know how to get on with others.
If you have trouble in making friends, maybe I can tell you how to do it.
Realize your own good points. You have skills and talents(才能) that others will like.
Believe that you are a good person and have something nice to share with others.
Be humourous. Learn to laugh at yourself and your weakness. Remember to smile at others.
Respect the others. Everyone has his own idea. Learn how to listen to others’ ideas without trying to make them accept yours.
Be kind. If you are kind to others, they will usually be kind to you. There are hundreds of little things you can do to show your kindness. Open the door for someone. Wave to a friend and so on.
Don’t complain(抱怨). Learn to accept what you can’t change, and work hard to change what you can. No one is willing to hear your complaints all the time.
Never give up. Even if you are faced with some closed-minded people, never give up. And try to find someone who will understand you.
【小題1】Why do we need friends according to the passage?

How much should you save? You may be able to save 100% of your money. Does that mean you should? Not at all. The best way to develop good saving habits is to make saving a regular part of your life, along with spending.
Here is the rule you should remember: save before spending. Whenever some money gets into your hands, from a job or your pocket money or whatever, take your savings out immediately, before spending any of the money. The beauty of this system is that if you take away your savings, you are free to spend the rest.
Here are some more suggestions on how to successfully get into the saving habit from teens. Let’s see!
Tony,13: I put my money in a bank instead of my wallet, so the money is not there. And I have to take an extra step to get it.
Bill,14: When considering a major purchase(購買), wait a week or so, at least. This will help you make sure if you still want it, and the price might go down.
Dick, 13: Carry very little money always. You can’t spend money if you don’t have it. A cake would be nice, but without a dollar, you can’t get it. Little things like that really add up quickly.
Steve,16: I used to be weak when it came to money. I bought something whenever I went into a store. I’m glad I’m not that person now. I taught myself discipline by keeping a $20 bill in my pocket while waking around the mall all day and not buying anything. Now I have no strong wish to buy things when I go into a store. It works for me.
These ideas should help you get started. If you have some questions about anything you’ve read here, or would like to share your ideas about saving money, please write to us.
【小題1】How does Tony advise you about saving money?

Students are leaving the junior high school . What are they taking with them ? A lot of things for sure , but the most important thing is friends .
We asked some teachers to give us one last lesson . The lesson is proverbs（諺語、格言） about friends . Proverbs teach people about life . Older people often teach proverbs to younger people . Every culture has proverbs . They are short and easy to remember .
Mrs Minelli says , “ It is important to remember this Sicilian（西西里島人的）proverb , ‘ Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty .’ It means that only good friends tell you when you are making a mistake .”
Mr Tulga says , “ I have a favorite proverb about friends , ‘ Friendship is a plant we must water .’ It is German . It means that everyone needs to take care of friendship like we take care of a garden .”
Mr Tulga says , “My grandfather in Turkey told me , ‘Nobody is so rich that he can throw away a friend .’ It means that everyone needs friends . Be good to them .”
The good news is :there is no test for this lesson ,. The bad news is :We will miss you .
Goodbye , friends ! Don’t forget us !
【小題1】As the proverb says ,           will tell you when you are making mistakes .

My problems started after I went to a boarding（寄宿） school.I was only 14，and at first I missed my family a lot.I often called them and cried on the phone.But after two weeks，I found I enjoyed being with my classmates at school. I had many friends who were boys.I thought of them as my best friends-but only friends.I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.
Then，three months later，my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was hanging out with boys all day long in order to get attention from them.Seven months after that，the head teacher Mr.Wang asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union（學(xué)生會(huì)）.I thought I could win for I was doing well in school.I’d already won prizes for the best math and English exams.A week later，the list came out and it didn’t include me.I was sad.
Mr.Wang came to me and said，“Don’t be sad.I know you’re excellent! Maybe you are a little distant（疏遠(yuǎn)的）from the girls in our class.They don’t know much about you，so some of them didn’t choose you.It doesn’t matter.Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you’ll make it next time.”
