Sixteen years ago I set out on a path of writing a life skills book for young people and creating a foundation to donate this book to youth organizations and schools. As a high school basketball coach my “mission” was to teach and inspire kids around the world to “Achieve Straight A's in the School of Life!” I recently turned age fifty and the book is now published in English as well as Spanish; plus, the foundation is launched. The organization is called the School of Life Foundation and the book that we give to kids is called Learn to “School” Your Toughest Opponent. Over the past two years we have placed this curriculum in the lives of close to 20,000 youth across sixteen states and eleven countries. The School of Life Foundation continues to grow each week.
The “Straight A's in Life” system contained in the workbook has ten steps as follows:
·Appreciate — Have more gratitude in your life
·Assist — Serve others every day
·Attitude — Choose yours each morning
·Aim — Learn to focus by setting goals
·Associate — Make good people a part of your life
·Align — Get organized
·Action — Make things happen or watch and wonder
·Avoid — Stay away from things that will harm you
·Adapt — Turn every challenge into an opportunity
·Always — Remember to pray and ponder each day
My heart and soul is touched every day as I learn of a new story of a young person's life improving by using this journal workbook while “Living the A's” in life!
I am now “Living My Dream” of making a difference in the world. I chose to not give up over the past sixteen years when obstacles and discouragement got in the way. You have to perform with passion!
Your mission in life may be large or small, but is vital to all of us no matter what it may be. What are you doing today to find it Are you living your dream I am simply the guy next door encouraging you to get started today!

In early November of 1942, my geology (地质学) class was supposed to go on a field trip to see the mica mine (云母矿). Although it rained, everyone showed up on time. I was the only girl in the class. We all fit into two cars.
Near Deary, Mr. Tier, our teacher, went into a store to ask about the direction, while townsmen looked at us with curiosity. On the store owner's advice, we drove out into the hills for a few miles. Then we left the cars. We were afraid they would get stuck in the mud.
Eventually, we located the mine near the top of the mountain. There was a very small hole, running about two or three hundred feet into the mountainside. The passage (通道) was so narrow that we could touch both sides with our hands, and not tall enough to allow us to stand up straight. The first boy held the torch; we took hold of the backs of each other's coats, in a line, and followed him in, ducking our heads. After getting in, we were disappointed because it was not the mine our teacher was looking for.
The rain was coming down hard as we started back to the cars to go home. Back at Deary, we went into a drugstore and stood around its big heating stove to dry out. The clerk was a middle aged lady. Seeing our entirely wet hair and clothes, she handed each of us a cup of hot water immediately and asked if there was anything wrong with any of us.
Hiking eight miles in the rain had not reduced our interest at all. We all felt we had had a wonderful time, even if we didn't find the mine.
5.Why did the class leave the cars halfway
A.Because their cars broke down in Deary.
B.Because it was not easy to drive in the mud.
C.Because townsmen were curious about their cars.
D.Because the store owner gave them a wrong direction.
6.What does the underlined word “ducking” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Turning. B.Touching.
C.Lowering. D.Hitting.
7.Which of the following can best describe the clerk of the drugstore
A.Impatient. B.Careless.
C.Hard working. D.Warm hearted.
8.What can we know from the passage
A.The class failed to see the mica mine.
B.The weather terribly influenced the trip.
C.The teacher was not professional enough.
D.The author was not liked by her classmates.

Dear Wang Lin,
How time flies!
It has been about two weeks since I entered high school. Now I want to tell you something about my school and my study. Our school is a very beautiful one, and a key senior school. The teachers here are very excellent. I enjoy their teaching style. Liu Jiayin, my deskmate, is my best friend now. We can express our thoughts and feelings after classes. And, we often go camping with other classmates at weekends. We have a very good time together. Sometimes we volunteer to do something for the local community.
We all decide to study hard for the national college entrance examinations in three years.
Long live our friendship!
Yours,
Li Hua
