As teenagers, you have many dreams. Some dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. Some can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.
Once you have a dream, what do you do with it Do you ever try to make your dream come true
Follow Your Heart by the Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams come true 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 getting your dream, the book says.
In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. 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. Then, do what you need to do step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams. You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dream. 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.

A. the biggest challenge for teenagers B. the most important dream for teenagers

七、任务型阅读 (共10小题;每小题0.5分,满分5分)
If you think you are too shy and want to be a little bit braver, just try the following things.
Be open to others. Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they will understand you better. This also helps you feel more comfortable in talks.
Try to smile more. When you smile , people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too; and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.
Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start a conversation, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person
Get your attention elsewhere. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don’t waste time worrying about your look or whether people like you or not. You will become relaxed and find it’s not so hard to talk with others.
Take one small step at a time. Each time when you say “Hi!” or smile at someone, say to yourself “You can make it.” Keep trying and one day you’ll never feel shy when you talk to others.

Saving the Environment
Great changes have taken place in many places during the past few years. The changes have brought many benefits. and have also caused a lot of serious problems.
There is air pollution everywhere. Factories let out their waste gas without doing anything to it. The air is not clean any more. Some people pour the waste water into the rivers and lakes directly and the water is dirty now. Besides, people cut down too many trees and leave rubbish
here and there.
What shall we do to save the environment My suggestion is that we must stop people from dumping the waste into the air and the water. And also we should plant more trees. Everyone should do something to protect the environment.
