In a big amusement park, there were some students sitting on the ground. They were listening to a speech after spending a happy morning there. At the beginning of the speech, the speaker told them a story about himself. "When I was in middle school, our class was once asked to write about our dreams. That night I wrote down my dream of opening up an amusement park. However, my teacher gave me an "F" and told me to write it again," the speaker said. "Her reason was just that it was impossible for a poor boy to make such a dream come true. I went back home and asked my father what I should do. He told me to make the decision by myself. So I decided to make no changes. My teacher can keep the "F" and I'll keep my dream."

"And what happened?" the students asked. All of them were anxious to know more about the story.

"This is what is happening now. You are listening to my speech in my dream park," said the speaker. "I told you this story in order to make you know one thing: follow your heart, keep your dream und never let others destroy your dream."

When the students were leaving the park, their teacher went over to the speaker. "Thank you, Mr. Black. I think my students have learned a lot from your speech. Here I have to say sorry to you. Some years ago, I was once a dream stealer and stole a lot of students' dreams, including yours. But you didn't give your dream up because of me," she said and then left.

At the moment, high school students in the state of Philadelphia, USA, can wear their own clothes. However, next year the high schools must do one of the following:

● Either make students buy school uniforms (in other words, all students must wear the same uniforms)

● Or say which colors must be worn, but let students buy their own clothes in these colors

A survey made at Central High School, Philadelphia, showed that most of the students didn't think that wearing school uniforms was a good idea.

Rachel didn't like the idea of a uniform in the slightest. "It makes us look like prisoners (囚犯). Everyone's different, so why is the school trying to make us all the same?"

Sandra was wearing a brightly-colored shirt with her jeans. "No one else wears a shirt like mine, " she said. "I'm the only one, and I like that. I can understand that the school needs a dress code (准则). It's a problem if students come to school with their shirts open. We all understand that, but no one wants a uniform. Even my mum thinks it's silly."

Only one student, Ben, said he didn't mind wearing a school uniform. He said,  "I used to wear a school uniform when I lived in Australia for a year. It wasn't so bad. You can wear a uniform and still be tidy. We used to wear grey trousers, a round-necked shirt and a jacket in blue or green. It wasn't a problem."

If you ask me what are my favorites, I 1 you that books are my favorites . I 2 a lot of books so far and I like Robinson Crusoe 3than any other book. It is such a good book that I like it a lot ,and Robinson is my idol(偶像). Robinson is a man who can survive (生存)on the small island with many cannibals. He can 4 all kinds of problems by 5. He fights with cannibals（食人族）, he can not win at first , but he doesn't give up 6. In the end , the cannibals are beaten by Robinson. I can learn7from him.

I never read books in a hurry, so I can have 8better understanding of them in that way. I also like taking notes while I 9, that will help me 10the details (细节).

Once upon a time, there was a little candle standing in a room 1 other candles. Most of other candles were much 2 and more beautiful than her. She had no idea why she was there, and the other candles made her feel rather 3 and not important. She wanted to leave away.

 When the sun went down and the room began to get 4, she noticed a man walking toward her with a box of matches (火柴). She thought that the man was going to set her on fire. No, no! she cried in fear, ―Don't 5 me, please! But she knew that she could not be heard, so she got prepared for the pain that would surely follow.

To her surprise, the room was full of light. She wondered where it came from since the man extinguished (熄灭) his fire stick. To her 6, she realized that the light came from her. Then the man struck another match and, one by one, lit the other 7 in the room. Each one gave out the same light.  Over the next few hours, she 8 that her wax(蜡) was beginning to flow slowly. She knew that she would 9 die, and finally understood why she had been created. My 10 in my life is to give out light until I die, she said. And that's exactly what she did.

What's a present?

Ten years ago, my family was poor. .  One day I came back from work, tired and hungry. To my surprise, I found my 10-year-old daughter decorating a box with some expensive paper. I was a little angry and said, You should spend money and time on more important things."

The next morning, she came into my room with the box and said, "Daddy, it's a present for you. Wish you a happy father's Day." I was embarrassed (尴尬). . I became angry again and shouted, "Don't you know that when you give someone a present, there should be something inside it?"

The little girl looked up at me with tears in her eyes and said, "I put my kisses in the box. I filled it with my love. All for you, Daddy."

. I put my arms around her and said, "Daddy is sorry. And thank you, my girl. This is the best present in the world!"

 History was made in 2008 when Barack Obama became the first African-American president. Do you believe there will be a Chinese-American president? Ten-year-old Alana Muller is working hard to make her dream come true.

However, there is a big problem ahead. It is that Alana Muller was not born in America. Born in Guangdong Province, China, Alana was adopted（收养） by an American couple when she was ten years old. When Alana's foster mother asked about her ambition, she said that she would like to be the U.S. president. But she was told that according to the law, the U.S. president had to be born in the United Stated.

Unlike other girls, Alana didn't think of giving up. She considered the law unfair and planned to make changes. She wrote to President Obama with a joint letter signed by her classmates. In the letter, she talked about her ambition and how she would like his support to change the law. Though she received a reply from the White House, she was not satisfied with it.

As a result, Alana started to attend Massachusetts state council（州议会）herself, hoping to change the law. In Alana's opinion, an old law written 200 years ago shouldn't stop the talents serving Americans now.

I can only give you    information about it.
