Each of us has dreams and goals for our future.What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.
But why do you have dreams and goals,you still end up with nothing?What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action.When you learn your lessons in school,you must work hard and not give up.You will often find some of your lessons very hard.Try and keep trying,and you'll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with.If we have a hard lesson today,let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
This is the famous formula(公式) for success:
Dream > Believe > Achieve
Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe).And then they do nothing.They just imagine their dreams can come true.When they get tired waiting and lose a lot,they get bored.They say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life,you have to add one thing to your success formula:
Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve
For me,act is the most important thing for success and that's to Take Persistent Action (Act).If you say, "I can't do it" and give up,you can never do anything valuable.However, "I'll try" creates wonders.Let's remember that there will be obstacles in our life.We must face them bravely and solve them.Success is not something that falls down from the sky.Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember:Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.

Part of Earth's beauty comes from its oceans. Ocean scientists study the chemical make﹣up of the ocean,weather patterns, the geography of the ocean floor, and many other areas. Their work is exciting,although sometimes dangerous. Using technology to do certain tasks helps.For example,robotic arms are used for very dangerous tasks.
One basic part of ocean study is understanding waves and how they work.Wind is the great maker of waves. The waves we know are mostly produced by winds blowing over the sea. They are directly connected with the wind speed and the time that wind lasts.
Sometimes ocean life can be seen in the wave.Living things seem to be staying within the wave,moving slowly inside it as if they were weightless.Besides the beauty of waves, scientists are interested in their technical ways. The diagram of waves shows how scientists examine waves. Waves are measured (测量)from the top (crest) to the bottom (trough). This allows scientists to find out the height of a wave. They also measure waves from crest to crest to determine(测定)the length of a wave.
During serious storms, huge waves might cut a sea ship apart. Ships are at great risk of winding up as broken pieces after being hit by the force of a huge wave. By understanding the ocean,scientists can prevent this breakup of ships by predicting when the water will be too dangerous for people and their ships. The study of waves and the ocean also allows scientists to make sure how certain beaches were formed. By studying the oceans, a great deal can be learned about the surface we live on.

"Mom!I found one!I found a rock!"
I heard those words again and again last summer as I sat by the window,which faces a park in the small town where I live.
The Kindness Rocks Project,which was started a few years ago by a mom in Massachusetts,has spread around the world.Kids,families,and people of all ages are taking part in painting rocks,hiding rocks,and finding painted rocks all over the place.Some post photos of the rocks on social media (传媒),and others simply move the rocks for someone else to find.Some take the rocks home and then replace them with new ones that they created and hid.
Nine﹣year﹣old twins Harry and Hannah DeVrieze have painted hundreds of rocks with their parents.Most evenings,the family and their small dog walk around with a wagon (运货车) full of rocks that they hide as they walk.
"It's a fun family activity," Hannah says.
"We will do it in the winter too," Hannah says.
Ben Burinsky,age nine,and his brother,Luke,age seven,were visiting relatives (亲戚) when they found their first painted rock in a park.They were so excited that they went home and painted their own rocks,then hid them for others to find.
"My boys loved finding the rock in the park,especially since it was a superhero," their mother,Judy Burinsky,says. "I love how something so small can bring a smile to my children's faces.In return,they learn the value of giving back to others."
Kadyn Kinney,age nine,and his seven﹣year﹣old brother,Jayce,have also painted many rocks.They love to hide rocks and look for rocks with their mom and dad.When their grandmother visited,they gave her painted rocks to take home and hide in the Florida town where she lives.When asked how many rocks he has painted so far,Jayce says, "Trust me!I've painted more than 30."

Have you ever imagined the life in space?The following will show you the astronauts' daily life.
• Eating in space
If you go camping for more than a week with some friends,you will make sure you have plenty of foods and keep them properly.At the end of your camping trip,you would deal with your rubbish properly before the ride home.
Astronauts almost do the same thing when they go to space.Preparation changes with the food type.Some foods can be eaten in their natural forms,such as chocolate cakes and fruits.Other foods require adding water,such as cheese.Of course,an oven is provided at the space station to heat the food.But there are no fridges,so space food must be kept properly.
• Sleeping in space
After a long day at work,nothing is better than a good night's sleep!Just like on the earth,in space astronauts go to bed at a certain time,then get up and prepare for work again.When going to sleep,they have to attachthemselves,so they don't float (漂浮) around or hit their bodies against something.They usually use sleeping bags located in small crew cabins (乘员舱).Each crew cabin is just big enough for one person.Generally,astronauts have an eight﹣hour sleep each day when they finish their task.
• Doing sports in space
Exercise is an important part of every astronaut's daily life to prevent muscle loss (肌肉萎缩).Usually,astronauts exercise two hours every day.Lifting 200 pounds on the earth may be a lot of work.But lifting that same object in space would be much easier.That means the things for exercise need to be specially designed,so astronauts can receive the exercise needed.
Living in space is not just all work and no play.Astronauts have fun,too.They like to look out the window and play with their food.Fun plays an important role in the quality of their life.

Spending more than two hours a night doing homework leads to better results in English,math and science,according to a major study (by Pam Sammons,England) which has tracked (跟踪)the progress of 3,000 children over the past 15 years.
Spending any time doing homework showed advantages,but the influence was greater for the students who put in two to three hours a night,according to the study published by the Department for Education in England.
The scientists who did the research say their study emphasizes (强调)what students actually do rather than how much work the school has set.
Pam Sammons,a professor of education at Oxford University,said that time spent on homework showed the influence of the school﹣if children were expected to do homework and if they enjoy their subjects."That's one of the reasons Indian and Chinese children do better.They put more time in it."he added.
It's also reported that students who enjoyed school got better results."Schools could make sure children had a better experience by improving the school environment,making school work interesting and making children feel supported by teachers."Sammons said.
It is suggested that children aged 5to 7should be set one﹣hour homework a week,half an hour a night for 7to 11﹣year﹣olds.Secondary schools were encouraged to set up two hours a night for 14to 16﹣year﹣olds.

The first emperor of China,Qin Shihuang,completed a huge number of projects during his rule.Between 221 and 210 B.C.,he started the building of the Great Wall.The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life﹣sized terracotta soldiers(士兵).These,he hoped,would protect his tomb after his death.
Lost in Time
The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown,but they weren't always.They began as an army of red,blue,yellow,green,white,and purple.Sadly,most of the colors did not last to the present day.After being exposed(暴露)to air during digging,the coating under the paint began to fall off.The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg,taking away with it important pieces of history.
New Technology
Now new technology is starting to show the army's true colors.Archeologists(考古学家)have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers.Many of these still have their painted features,including black hair,pink faces,and black or brown eyes.Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid(液体)to help save the soldiers' colors.After finding a soldier or another art piece,archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.
Back to Life
Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers.It's important not to do anything with the dirt,so the colors won't be lost. "We are treating the dirt as an art piece, "says Rong Bo,the museum's leading archeologist.The next challenge,says Rong Bo,is to find a way to use the colors onto the army﹣again.Once that happens,artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to its full,bright colors.

According to the finding of a new UN report,the world wastes about one sixth of the food each year.That's about 1,030,000,000 tons,or 121 kilograms for each person on the Earth.
61% of the food waste is from home cooking.Food services,such as restaurants,produce 26% and groceries (食品杂货店)and other stores 13% "We thought waste was a problem in rich countries," says Martina Otto,who works for the UN Environment Program.
"However,the new report finds,food waste is a big problem in nations rich and poor."
Each year,some 690,000,000 people go hungry.At the same time,about 10% of all CO2 on the Earth is from the activities that produce the food waste.Control on food waste can help deal with hunger and cut down that pollution.It is helpful to both people and the planet.By avoiding wasting food,we can save money and time.More importantly,we can help protect the Earth's most valuable resources (资源).
Then what can we do to stop food waste?Small actions make a difference.Each of us can play a part.Next time,before you throw,think twice!

Do you remember when we went to pick up Hally from her litter?We picked her because she looked like her mom.She is brown with spots,with long ears,and she was energetic,so we thought she'd be strong,like her mom.But how does she look now?" Mom asked.
"Well," thought Sam, "She' s still brown with spots and long ears,but she' s not very energetic or strong anymore. "
"That's what the vet said,too.We haven't been letting her exercise as much,and we've been feeding her a lot.She would probably look just like her mom now if we had walked her more. ② We have to start walking her more often.And then she'll stay healthy for a long time.Will you help?"
"Sure!" said Sam.He decided that he could play fetch with her every day in the yard,because then she could run and run and run until she was tired.
The first day,they only played fetch for about 10 minutes before Hally was tired.But Sam kept playing with her every day.Soon,they could play for an entire half an hour!Hally looked stronger every day,just like her mom.Sam felt great about helping Hally get strong again.
