　　[2024石家庄 开学考试改编]As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be very small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.
　　Once you find a dream, what do you do with it Do you ever try to make your dream come true
　　Andrew Matthew, an Australian writer tells us that making dreams come true is the biggest challenge in life. You may think that you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.
　　Remember your dream and don't let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster, because a big dream in fact, is made up of many small dreams.
　　You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the way to your dream, but the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to find out the most important thing. Studying instead of(代替) watching TV will help you get better exam results, while saving 30 yuan means you can buy a new book.
　　As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good because you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

　　 [2024唐山路南区一模改编]Fiona is a taxi driver in London. She tells us about her work and some of her experiences.
Q: When did you start
I've been a taxi driver for about five years. Before that I was a bus driver in London, and I enjoyed it, but I wanted more free time so I changed and started driving my taxi.
Q: Have you ever had any famous passengers
Oh yes. I've had film stars, politicians, you know, lots of famous people. About a year ago, a really famous actor got in my taxi. I took him to the airport. We were stuck on the way and it took a long time to get there, so he missed his plane and failed to meet his fans. It wasn't my fault but when he got out of the taxi, he shouted at me angrily! I said to him, "Next time, take a bus!"
Q: Have passengers ever left anything in your taxi
Oh yes! People have left all kinds of things — a book, a hat, mobile phones, of course, even a guitar once! Years ago, a woman left a pair of shoes on the seat. And people have asked me to do some strange jobs. Once a doctor stopped me outside a hospital and asked me to take a skeleton to another hospital. Professors usually use skeletons to teach medical students, you know. And I did. But I asked him to pay first — the skeleton couldn't pay, after all!
Q: 　▲　
Good question. I've always enjoyed being a taxi driver and I don't want to change. But of course, sometimes, it's not great. I don't like driving around without a passenger, but it's better than just waiting at the airport or at a railway station. I think that's the worst part — waiting.
