It is well known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know           future really is? I have to say that future is time. That is to say we must save every      now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know      important time is and use it well.
There is an old English saying, “Gain time, gain life.”Then what’s time? Time is        that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it          by. Time is          with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time passes too. We always say “Time is money”, but time is even       than money, because when money      , we can earn it back. But if time is gone away, it will never return. So, some of us even say time is       .
We should always remember: Future is now. For us students, we should      our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best       of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything before us as well as possible. And never       what can be done today till tomorrow.
As we all know, “Time and tide wait for         man.” If you waste today, you will feel      tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be      . Remember :“No pains, no gains.”Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest.

A little girl walked to and from school every day. Though it was not fine and clouds appeared in the sky that morning, the little girl made her daily trip to school as usual. When school was over, winds became stronger and it began to rain.
The mother of the little girl felt worried that her daughter would be afraid and that lightning might frighten her child. Following the bright light of lightning, the mother quickly got into her car and drove to her child’s school.
As the mother drove along the road, she saw her little girl walking alone in the rain. To her great surprise, she found that when a lightning came, her daughter stopped, looked up and smiled. Another lightning came and then another followed. With each lightning, the little girl stopped, looked up and smiled at it.
Inside the car, the mother asked her daughter, “What were you doing? Why did you look up and smile when the lightning came?” The little girl answered with a smile, “Mum, you know, God (上帝) was looking at me. Each time I felt a little afraid walking in the rain, God would take a picture of me. I knew he was playing a game with me.”

More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!
Get on a bicycle and ride around your countryside. You may discover something new that you didn’t notice all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can ride a bike to work and enjoy exercising at the same time without polluting the environment. You don’t even have to ride all the way.
Folding (折叠) bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed into a bag or a small box. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travellers.

Recently, China Dream has been the subject of a public topic. Although it is quite common for Chinese people to dream of a developed China, most people also have their own dreams. I interviewed several young Chinese students with higher US educational backgrounds. They all had their own dreams for their native country.
Fred Wang, an MBA student in the US, said, “I dream of equal chance for the young in China. Equality means all young people can compete fairly, based on the rule-of-law no matter whether they are rich or poor.”
Yujie Zhao, another MBA student in California, said, “I dream of having the best education for my children so they will not lose at the starting line, and I dream of being able to take good care of my parents after they return home from work.”
Yiqiong Zhang, an MBA graduate from the US, shared her dreams. “I have a dream which I have been holding for many years, that is after working hard for about 20 to 25 years, I can have enough money to build and manage a bookstore or a flower shop. Besides working hard, I am able to enjoy life, to play the piano, to hike and to enjoy a two-month-long vacation every year. This may be a common dream among young Chinese students.”
There is no doubt that all of these young students have their own China Dream. They all love chasing their dreams. The beautiful China Dream requires everyone’s hard work. Everyone should work hard to make their dreams come true.
Which is TRUE about the three young Chinese students?

What does the word “compete” in the second paragraph mean?

Which one is Yiqiong Zhang’s dream?

From the passage we can learn that China Dream ____________.

Almost all the students go to traditional schools now. But there will probably be a new type of education in the future—open education.
There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to develop their interests in many subjects. Open education asks students to be strict with their own education. The open classroom may help them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules.
But many students may not do well in open education. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem of getting used to making so many choices. The last point about open education is that some teachers do not like it. They do not believe in open education.
I think that open education is only a good idea. It may not work very well in a real class or school. I believe that most students want and need to have some rules. They have to study some subjects. Many students are pleased to find the subjects that they have to study so interesting. They will not study those subjects if they do not have to in an open education school.

Open
Explanation	☆ It is a way of teaching which       the students to learn what they are interested in without many rules.
Advantages	☆ It is good to develop the students’       in many subjects. ☆ In open education, many students don’t need to       about grades or rules. ☆ Some students will be      in an open education school.
	☆ Many students cannot prove themselves as good in open education as in       classrooms. ☆ There are so many      for students to make that they can’t use open education properly.
The writer’s opinion	☆ It is just a good idea, but in a      class or school, it may not work very well. ☆ Some students will not study some subjects       they have to.
