Some school boys have problems such as being too tall or too short. But Matthews tells us that happiness
can come from thinking about things in a positive (积极的) (9)w .
If you are tall, people notice you and you can get a better view at the movies; if you are short, your clothes

Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?
Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life"s biggest challenge.
You may think you"re not very good at some school subjects, or that it"s impossible for you to become a
writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.
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.

When we are angry, (4)h , we are usually the ones affected. Perhaps we have seen young children
playing (5)t . Sometimes they have disagreements and decide not to talk to each other. But this usually

people who don"t have troubles are gathered in little neighborhoods. We call them cemeteries (坟墓).
If you"re breathing, you have difficulties. That"s how life is. But believe it or not, most of your problems may
actually be good for you! Let me explain.
Maybe you know about the Great Barrier Reef (大堡礁), running some 1800 miles from New Guinea
(新几内亚) to Australia. Tour guides often take visitors to see the reef. On one tour, the guide was asked an
interesting question. "I notice that the lagoon (泻湖) side of the reef looks pale (苍白) and lifeless, while the
ocean side is lively and colorful. Why is this?"
The guide answered:"The coral (珊瑚) around the lagoon side is in still water. With no challenge to its survival
(生存), it dies early. The coral on the ocean side is always being tested by wind, waves and storms. It has to
fight for its survival every day. As it is challenged and tested, it changes and grows healthy, it grows strong." He
added, "That"s the way it is with every living thing."
That"s how it is with people. Challenged and tested, we come alive! Like coral by the sea, we grow. Physical
problems make for a stronger body. Stress makes for a stronger mind.
So, you have problems-no problem! Just tell yourself,"There I grow again!"
