As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be 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? How can you make your dream real?
Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making the dreams real is life's biggest challenge(挑战). You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it's impossible for you to become a winner. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing(实现) your dream.
In fact, everyone can realize 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 every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams, so it's hard for you to make your dream come true. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what to do and what not to do.
根据短文内容，完成下列小题。
1. What is life's biggest challenge according to Andrew Matthews's idea? (no more than four words)
? ? ? ? ?
2. What is the first thing you must do to make your dream come true?

4. Why is it hard for you to make your dream come true?

Dear American Girl, My birthday party guest list has a lot of people on it, but I can only invite five to my birthday party. They're all my good friends. How can I choose? Jessica
Dear Jessica, You can talk to your parents about your birthday party. Explain that picking only five friends might cause friendship problems for you, and ask if there's a way to deal with it. Could you have a simpler party with more people? You can change your party plan to include more friends. This could avoid hurting people's feelings. American Girl
Dear American Girl, There's a girl in our grade who always follows us around. We don't like her because she's annoying and always getting in our business (插手我们的事情). How can we get her to play with someone else without hurting her feelings? Four friends
Dear Four friends, You four need to be careful because this is how many bullying(欺负) situations get started. This girl is just trying to find a place to fit in. Maybe it's with your group, and maybe not. Either way, try not to be mad at her for "annoying you", and really give her a chance. Be kind. Say hi. And accept the fact that she's not perfect—who is perfect, after all? If she asks you questions you don't want to answer, just ask her a question about herself to change the topic. Telling this girl to play with someone else can turn quickly into bullying. That will hurt her feelings and might put you four in trouble. So just share your friendship. American Girl
