Unfortunately, too many of us keep these dreams to ourselves because we fear what others might say. My point in writing this is to say it's OK to dream and dream big and talk about your dreams so that others are inspired to dream big too. What a world we would have if everyone did this!My dad was a dreamer. He told me that one day he was going to have a sailboat. We would go to the boat shows whenever they came to town and climb into them. My father would talk to the sales people and I would be busy pretending to sail the boat. It was fun. Then one day we went to the boat place and took out a sailboat on the ocean, what a thrill! Soon afterwards he bought his first boat and named it "LETSGO" and we sailed and sailed big bays and seas around New England. When I was older I got to be the skipper because he not only told me his dream he showed it to me and let me taste the idea on my own. Now I was inspired to dream big too.You see dreams can do wonders for you. When you believe in your dreams, they take on a life of their own. Now you start dreaming up things to do to make your inspiration a reality. More dreams, more inspiration, then more dreams and a few more. Then one morning you wake up and the dream has come true.My dreams have taken me to so many beautiful places; I've been below the surface of the ocean watching the beauty of coral and fish as I swim by. I've flown an airplane with pontoon floats from a lake in northern Maine and another different plane on a flight over the Grand Canyon. I've also ridden under my own wind blown sails. The pictures in my head are priceless and better than any I've taken.Some of the best times I've had were listening to older people talk about their dreams and what their dreams did for their lives. When I hear some of their dreams it inspires me to think and dream how I might do that too.I interviewed a man some years ago who was 80-something years young. He was a sturdy man with the hands to match the story he told me. Hands still strong enough to crack the shells of the walnuts he offered me and munched on. He had outlived his wife but still lived in their neat home with bookcases near the fireplace he no doubt built. I asked one question and I didn’t move for hours. His story of leaving home to explore the world and learn a new trade was fascinating to my young mind. But it was after hearing his tale that I realized what he was really saying to me - not as an aspiring journalist but as a person. He told me he dreamed that he would have a great life and he had one, so, I could dream about having a great life and get one too.Just as my father had said to me earlier, here was another confirmation. I did just what they said todo, because I could do anything I wanted. Therefore, I say dream... dream big dreams about your great life to come. I抦heading out toward my next one, how about you?11. According to the author, people keep dreams to themselves because ________.A. they don’t think their dreams will come trueB. they don’t have time to realize their dreamsC. their parents don’t support themD. they fear what others might say12. In Paragraph 2, “We would go to the boat shows whenever they came to town”because________.A. I like to play in the boatB. father likes to talk to the sales peopleC. father hopes to buy a sailboat one dayD. I want to become a skipper in the future13. Which statement .can best describe the saying ”dream can wonders for you” in Para 3？A. Our dream will come true one morning we wake up.B. Dreams can inspire us to make them a reality.C. We will live a better life once we have a dream.D. The more dreams you have, the greater you will be.14. The author has done the following explorations except ________.A. swimmingB. flying a plane from a lakeC. flying over a canyonD. sailing across an ocean15. We can infer from Paragraph 6 that the old man ________.A. is rather pleased with his life nowB. was a writer when he was youngC. live a happy life with his wifeD. used to be businessman for some timePassage TwoDo other animals besides humans cry?The answer to the question is ‘Yes, and no’. All animals with mobile eyes have the ability to cry, just as we humans do. They have a tearing system that keeps their eyes wet so as to protect them fromdry sand, dusts, and other elements. People often tell tales of animals such as elephants and dogs weeping when punished. However, even if such an animal does shed tears, there is no scientific evidence that the animal is expressing the tear-related emotions similar to those when humans cry.But what about when a baby chimp or ape whimpers and screams when it’s being separated from its mother, can we say with some certainty that the animal is crying? Taking away the babies does encourage care-giving such as feeding and protecting from the mother apes, but it is uncertain whether the baby apes feel the same way as baby humans do when they cry.In fact, it’s not clear that crying and other emotional displays mean exactly the same thing to all humans. For instance, there is a wide range of emotions that prompt people to cry, and some kinds of weeping, such as crying at a stranger’s wedding, seem to be cultural responses.In addition, some people are autistic. That means they prefer being alone than being with other people, especially in large crowds. These people are said to have less ability in expressing their emotions, but research also has shown that it’s more that their expressions and their reactions to the emotional expressions of others are unusual. Different. But does that mean that their sadness is different somehow?So even if apes can be said with some certainty to be feeling emotions, then there is the problem of figuring out to what extent what they feel resembles what humans feel.16. What does the author mean by “Yes, and no” in line 1, paragraph 1?A. Other animals besides humans cry.B. No other animals besides humans cry.C. Animals cry but do not cry like humans.D. Animals cry but humans do not cry.17. Which of the following statement is true?A. All animals have mobile eyes.B. All animals have a tearing system.C. Tearing system keeps animals’ eyes wet.D. Animals cry when being punished.18. Baby chimps or apes cry because__________.A. they are being separated from their mothersB. the reason is not clearC. they feel the same way as baby humans doD. they need to be fed and protected19. Why human beings cry?A. There a wide range of reasons.B. People cry because they attend a stranger’s wedding.C. Crying means exactly the same thing to all humans.D. Because of cultural responses.20. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A. it is uncertain to say to what extent apes feel the same emotions as humansB. it is sure that apes can feel emotionsC. some people prefer being alone because they’re not good at communicationD. people’s emotions are differentPassage ThreeEven though she’s quite young, Drew Barrymore can already be called a Hollywood legend. She’s lived i t up, she’s done it all, and she has enough movies under her belt to put most young stars to shame.Barrymore was born on February 22, 1975, in California. Being from a family that produced great actors, it’s no wonder that she quickly found her way into t he spotlight.When she was 11 months old, she made her first commercial on TV. She made her first movies at the age of 2. Four years later, she showed up as in the Steven Spielberg’s famous film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.However it wasn’t all roses and s unshine when Barrymore was growing up. She was drinking alcohol by the time she was 9, smoking marijuana at 10, and taking cocaine at 12.Most kid stars in Hollywood fail to become stars as adults. And most of the time, once they’re out of the spotlight, they stay out. Not so with Drew Barrymore.As she was getting older, Barrymore started to realize that there is more to life than publicity stunts. She set out to build a career and made a series of successful films since 1997, including Charlie’s Angels a nd 50 First Dates.“In my life, there is darkness and chaos and drama, and I have yet to explore some of that in my work life. I sort of just want to quietly challenge myself and prove that I’m capable of more.”Actually, anyone who’s not familiar with her disordered childhood might find it hard to believe she’s such a sweet person now. Like many of the characters she plays in her comedy, Drew is easygoing and laughs a lot. In 1997, she was on the cover of People magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People issue.“Life is very interesting in the end; some of your greatest pains become your greatest strengths.”Drew said.21.
