As teenagers, you have many dreams. The dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it Do you try to make your dream real Follow Your Heart by an Australian writer Andrew Matthews 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. These kinds of thoughts stop you from achieving your dream,” the book says.
In fact, everyone can achieve 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. Do this step by step because a big dream is formed by, in fact, 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 lead to 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 more skills and find new interests.

① The chrysanthemum which is known as one of the “Four Gentlemen in Plants” (四君子) is a very popular flower in China. At the same time, it has many meanings in Chinese culture.
② Chrysanthemums come out in bright colors during cold autumn days, when most other flowers fall. They are beautiful, strong and tough, which greatly inspired ancient Chinese poets. Besides praising its beauty, ancient Chinese poets also made the chrysanthemum a symbol to stand for themselves in their works.

From then on, the chrysanthemum has become the symbol of the hermit.
④ But chrysanthemums are not only found in Chinese poems. They are also part of Chinese food. The Chongyang Festival takes place on September 9 on the lunar calendar.

Today I’d like to tell the story of a 10-year-old boy. Although he had lost his left arm because of a car accident, he decided to study judo（柔道）.
The boy learned from an old Japanese judo master. He was doing well, so he couldn`t understand why, after three months of training, the master only taught him one move. “Master,” the boy finally asked, “why don`t you teach me more moves ”
“This is the only move you know, but it is the most useful move for you.” the master replied. The boy still felt confused, but he believed in his teacher, so he kept training.
Several months later, the master took the boy to his first competition. To his surprise, he easily won his first two matches. The third match was more difficult, but he used his move and reached the final.
This time, the boy’s competitor was stronger and more experienced. Everybody thought the boy would lose the match except the master. Finally, the boy beat his competitor with his move and won.
On their way home, the boy and the master reviewed the matches. The boy asked, “Master, how could I win the matches with only one move ” “You won for two reasons.” the master answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in judo. Second, the only defense（防御）against that move for your competitors is to catch your left arm.”
23. The boy lost his left arm in_________.
A. a traffic accident B. an earthquake C. judo training D. a judo match
24. The underlined word “confused” means “_________” in Chinese.
A. 恼怒的 B. 疑惑的 C. 不安的 D. 无助的
25. Why did the master teach the boy only one move
A. Because the boy was too young. B. Because the boy had no talent for judo.
C. Because the move could help the boy win. D. Because the boy had no time to learn more.
26. What does the writer want to tell us through the story
A. Every man is his own worst enemy.
B. Our life is always full of unexpected things.
C. A man becomes better by asking questions.
D. A disadvantage can sometimes turn into an advantage.

Electric cars may seem like a recent invention, but they’ve been around for years. In the early 1900s, there were more electric cars on the road than there were petrol（汽油）cars. At that time, petrol was expensive compared with other fuels（燃料）. When petrol prices dropped and new technologies were developed, electric cars went out of fashion. Instead, petrol cars became more popular because they could travel longer distances without stopping.
During the 20th century, petrol cars got bigger, heavier and faster. They needed more fuel, and it caused more air pollution. For years, car makers didn’t worry about pollution. They didn’t worry about the amount of petrol cars’ use, either. But when people began to realize that there was not enough oil on the earth, they asked car makers to produce more efficient（高效能的）and less polluting cars.
One method of solving the problem was a “hybrid” car（混合动力车）, one that ran partly on petrol and partly on electricity. Hybrid cars became popular in the 2000s when petrol prices went up and the prices of hybrid cars went down.
An all-electric car uses no petrol. The problem, however, is that car batteries（电池）need to be recharged（再充电）. That makes electric cars not so useful for long journeys.
Many people are not pleased with it. The government and car makers are working together to develop safe, cheap and useful electric cars. When people have these cars in the future, a petrol station may be a thing of the past.
27. Electric cars went out of fashion because _________.
A. petrol oil was more expensive B. new technologies were developed
C. they were more popular than petrol cars D. they were invented recently
28. What kind of cars are more efficient and less polluting
A. Petrol cars. B. Electric cars. C. Hybrid cars. D. Shared cars.
29. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us _________.
A. all-electric cars don’t need petrol B. all-electric cars have a long history
C. all-electric cars can travel long distances D. all-electric cars don’t use batteries
30. From the passage, we can infer（推断）_________.
A. all-electric cars will use less petrol oil
B. electric cars will take the place of petrol cars
C. more petrol stations will be set up in the future
D. there will be more and more petrol cars in the future

Today I’d like to tell the story of a 10-year-old boy. Although he had lost his left arm because of a car accident, he decided to study judo（柔道）.
The boy learned from an old Japanese judo master. He was doing well, so he couldn`t understand why, after three months of training, the master only taught him one move. “Master,” the boy finally asked, “why don`t you teach me more moves ”
“This is the only move you know, but it is the most useful move for you.” the master replied. The boy still felt confused, but he believed in his teacher, so he kept training.
Several months later, the master took the boy to his first competition. To his surprise, he easily won his first two matches. The third match was more difficult, but he used his move and reached the final.
This time, the boy’s competitor was stronger and more experienced. Everybody thought the boy would lose the match except the master. Finally, the boy beat his competitor with his move and won.
On their way home, the boy and the master reviewed the matches. The boy asked, “Master, how could I win the matches with only one move ” “You won for two reasons.” the master answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in judo. Second, the only defense（防御）against that move for your competitors is to catch your left arm.”

A. a traffic accident B. an earthquake C. judo training D. a judo match

Electric cars may seem like a recent invention, but they’ve been around for years. In the early 1900s, there were more electric cars on the road than there were petrol（汽油）cars. At that time, petrol was expensive compared with other fuels（燃料）. When petrol prices dropped and new technologies were developed, electric cars went out of fashion. Instead, petrol cars became more popular because they could travel longer distances without stopping.
During the 20th century, petrol cars got bigger, heavier and faster. They needed more fuel, and it caused more air pollution. For years, car makers didn’t worry about pollution. They didn’t worry about the amount of petrol cars’ use, either. But when people began to realize that there was not enough oil on the earth, they asked car makers to produce more efficient（高效能的）and less polluting cars.
One method of solving the problem was a “hybrid” car（混合动力车）, one that ran partly on petrol and partly on electricity. Hybrid cars became popular in the 2000s when petrol prices went up and the prices of hybrid cars went down.
An all-electric car uses no petrol. The problem, however, is that car batteries（电池）need to be recharged（再充电）. That makes electric cars not so useful for long journeys.
Many people are not pleased with it. The government and car makers are working together to develop safe, cheap and useful electric cars. When people have these cars in the future, a petrol station may be a thing of the past.
27. Electric cars went out of fashion because _________.
A. petrol oil was more expensive B. new technologies were developed
C. they were more popular than petrol cars D. they were invented recently
28. What kind of cars are more efficient and less polluting
A. Petrol cars. B. Electric cars. C. Hybrid cars. D. Shared cars.
29. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us _________.
A. all-electric cars don’t need petrol B. all-electric cars have a long history
C. all-electric cars can travel long distances D. all-electric cars don’t use batteries
30. From the passage, we can infer（推断）_________.
A. all-electric cars will use less petrol oil
B. electric cars will take the place of petrol cars
C. more petrol stations will be set up in the future
D. there will be more and more petrol cars in the future
【答案】27. B 28. C 29. A 30. B
