going to be when you grow up?"
At first I said I wanted to be a cowboy or some super hero. Later it was a fireman, artist, architect
(建筑师)… As I grew older my dreams of the future changed. When at last I was in college, I was asked: "What
will you major (主修) in?" By then I had my heart set on becoming a computer programmer. So I studied and
prepared for that life. I was designing software full-time for much of my life.
I am content (满意的) that could realize my dream. However, for many, there is a "thief" who goes around
stealing our dreams.
We find ourselves close to reaching our goal. Then we hear this small voice inside our heads saying: "You"ll
never make it." "You can"t possibly do this." "Very few have ever done this successfully." On and on, the voice
predicts (预言) some kind of failure.
Don"t listen to that voice. There are no overnight (突如其来的) successes, but with perseverance
(坚定不移). It will come. Imagine yourself in the life you dream of living. Then in your heart, believe it will
happen for you, as it has for others. Then work, work, and work! You get the picture.
Be true to your dream, and don"t let anyone steal it from you — especially yourself. You can do anything
your heart desires, so don"t give up or give in.

again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age
gives him without wasting his time in useless things.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities (责任) to think about. A child is usually fed, looked
after and loved by his parents. He will never be expected to do anything in return. In addition (另外), life is
always presenting (呈现) new things to a child, but the things that have lost their appeal (吸引力) for the old
because they are too well-known. In the meanwhile, a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes
to, he is continually (不断地) being told not to do a certain thing, or being punished for what he has done wrong.
After a child grows up, he starts to make his own living. He can no longer expect others to pay for his
food, his clothes, or his room, and he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time
playing about in the way he used to play as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he
used to break the laws of his parents, he may go in prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and
has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up his own position in society.
B. life for a child is very hard
C. only the old are interested in life
D. only children are interested in life
B. Children get interested in things around them.
C. Adults are free to do what they want to.
D. Adults should rely on themselves.
B. young men can have the greatest happiness.
C. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one"s life
D. one can be a happy person only if he can enjoy each age of his life
B. how to build up one"s position in society
C. joys and pains of old people
D. what to do when one has problems in life
Most of the time, people do it because they want to protect friendship or they don"t want to hurt someone. Here
are some ways they do it.
★ Giving false excuses.
Sometimes people lie because they don"t want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a
party. You think it will be boring, so you say you"re busy.
★ Lying to make someone feel good.
Often we don"t tell the truth to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but
it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No! You probably say "Mmm, this is delicious!"
★ Lying to hide bad news.
Sometimes, we don"t want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had a terrible day at work,
but you don"t want your family to worry about you. So if your parents ask you about your day, you just say
everything was fine.

| Happiness is for everyone. In fact, ①happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will congratulate you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can find that happiness is always around you. ②Happiness is not the same as money, it"s a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also be very happy, because you have something else that can"t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge (挑战) yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. ③If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and-lucky person. |
