As teenagers（青少年）， you have many dreams． The dreams can be very big， such as winning the Nobel Prize， or they can be small． You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class．
Once you find a dream， what do you do with it？ Do you ever try to make your dream real？
"Follow Your Heart" by Australian writer Andrew Mathews tells us that making our dreams real is life's biggest challenge．
You may think you're not very good at some school subjects， or that it is impossible for you to become a writer． These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream， the book says．
In fact， everyone can make his dream come true． The first thing you must do is to remember what you dream is．
Don't let itleave your heart． Keep telling yourself what you want． Do this step by step （逐步地）and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is， in fact， many small dreams．
You must also never give up your dream． There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams． But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself． You need to decide what is the most important． Studying instead of watching TV will lead to （导致） better exam results， while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book． As you get closer to your dream， it may change a little． This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests．

Critical thinking（批判性思维） is trying to improve the way you think． People use critical thinking in every area of life to solve problems and evaluate claims（评估主张）．
Like every other skill， critical thinking takes practice． When a problem comes our way， we need to think critically to decide how to solve it． When we see an advertisement， for example， we should stop and think． Advertisements are made to make people feel certain that they are true， and then people can buy the products． But is what the advertisement says true？ Is it making a claim？ Or does it only interest us？ Critical thinking is important and stops us from making poor choices． In fact， we are using it if we ask questions naturally about what we see．
Practice makes perfect． While you are growing in critical thinking， you'll become a wiser and more thoughtful person． There are many ways of doing practice． Here are a few．
★ Read about a topic people disagree on． Look at articles or books on all sides of the subject． For each side of the subject， think carefully and evaluate it．
★ When you see or hear a claim， ask questions about it． Who is making the claim and why？
★Evaluate your own thinking． Where and why do you think uncritically？ How can you improve？
Critical thinking should be part of everything we do． It may help you to succeed at work or school ．Make yourself into a habit of critical thinking． Change your thoughts and change your world．

When Justin Tong was a child， other kids felt sorry for him． His parents always had him doing lots of housework such as carrying out the rubbish and sending newspapers． But when he grew up， he was better off than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life．
These are the finding of a 40﹣year study that followed the lives of 456 children in London． It showed that the children who had worked hard in childhood had a richer and a happier future． "Children who worked in the home or community gained competence（能力） and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society，" said Daniel Brown， the psychologist（心理学家） who made the discovery． "And because they felt good about themselves， others felt good about them．"
Brown's study followed these children in great detail． Interviews were repeated at ages 25， 31 and 47． Under Brown， the researchers compared the children's mental﹣health scores with their childhood﹣activity scores． Points were awarded for part﹣time jobs， housework， effort in school， and ability to deal with problems．
Working at any age is important． Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility， independence， confidence and competence ﹣ the underpinnings （基础） of emotional health． They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals． The most competent adults are those who know how to do this．Yet work isn't everything． As Tolstoy once said， "One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love， to work for the person one loves and to love one's work．"
（1）What do we know about Justin Tong？
A．He enjoyed a happy life．
B．He felt sorry for the other kids．
C．He always sold newspapers．
D．He seldom collected rubbish．
（2）Who will probably succeed in the future according to Paragraph 2？
A．Children who enjoy happier and richer lives．
B．Children who work in the home or community．
C．Children who take part in Daniel Brown's study．
D．Children who feel good about people around them．
（3）How did Brown follow the children in his study？
A．By giving housework and praise．
B．By interviewing and giving scores．
C．By setting goals and showing love．
D．By solving problems and testing them．
（4）What's the purpose of the passage？
A．To talk about an interesting study．
B．To introduce Justin Tong's success．
C．To tell us about childhood activities．
D．To encourage children to work hard．
While the start of a new school year is always exciting， this year was even more so for some students at White Cloud Primary School． They became the world's first kids to be taught by an electronic teacher． This electronic teacher is not a human﹣like robot walking around the classroom Instead， he is a computer﹣created head that appears， when needed， on students computer or phone screens． His name is Bill．
Created by technology company Smart Machines， Bill is able to show human﹣like behavior． He is designed to teach a special program about environmental﹣friendly power created by the sun and wind． This program， started in 2005， used to be taught by human teachers．
Just like human teachers， Bill is able to immediately respond to the students' questions and opinions about the topic． Thanks to computer cameras， he is also able to see and react to students physical actions． For example， if a student smiles at Bill， he responds by smiling back． This two﹣way exchange helps get the students' attention． More importantly， it allows the program developers to improve Bills behavior and knowledge base when needed．
The program has been a great success， according to Smart Machines spokesman Robert Frost Frost says， "What is interesting to me is the children's reaction to Bill． He really captures their attention． "Frost thinks kids don't find the experience of being taught by smart machines as strange as older people because they have grown up in a time of computers and smart phones．
It is doubtful， however， that human educators will lose their jobs to Bill any time soon． For one，his talking head's knowledge base is not large． More importantly， even the smartest computer programs can't guess and react to all the unexpected situations that educators face daily． Bills future might be as a"personal tutor"， providing kids with one﹣on﹣one help for different subjects and topics．
（1）What is Bill？
A． A human﹣like robot
B． A kind of computer game
C． A computer recording tool
D， A computer﹣created talking head
（2）How does the two﹣way exchange help the program developers？

D． It helps them study students' body language
（3）The underlined word "they"in Paragraph 4 refers to ．
A． kids
B． older people
C． smart machines
D． program developers
（4）What is Bill NOT good at doing？
A． Attracting students' attention
B．Understanding body language
C． Responding to students' questions
D． Dealing with unexpected situations
（5）How might Bill be used in the future according to the last paragraph？
A． To work as human classroom teachers
B． To encourage students' interest in computers
C． To give students personal help with different subjects
D．To watch over the behavior of the students in the classroom
