As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you try to make your dream real?

Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life's biggest challenge(挑战). You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it's impossible(不可能) for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing(实现) your dream.

In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don't let it leave your heart(心脏). Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of(由...组成) 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 help you to get 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 something more useful and find new hobbies.

If you've been joining in chat room conversation, or trading e-mail with net pals(网友 ), you have become one of the millions who write in a special short form of English.

Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are "talking" online - many of them all talking at the same time.

It's fast: try talking to six people at once. It's easy: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, and quick fingers.

And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back) will do?

Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI(=pardon me for jumping in).

Interested in whom you're talking to? A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal's age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.

If something makes you laugh, say you're OTF(=on the floor), or LOL(=laughing out loud), or combine the two into ROTFL(=rolling on the floor laughing).

And when it's time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG(got to go) or TTYL(=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters(大写字母) are left in the dust, except when expressing strong feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the "shift" key and use capitals. Punctuation (标点) is going, too.

1.The sentence , “There’s neither time nor space for explanations” means that_______.

A. people should use words properly

B. people should know what time it is when they are talking

C. people online can express themselves in a simple way

D. people should communicate in a funny way

2.If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means ______.

A. the person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine

B. you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York

C. you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York

D. the people you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girl.

3.Which of the following is a way to save online time?

A. People seldom use capital letters or punctuation marks.

B. People only use the mouse instead of the keyboard.

C. Many people draw pictures.

D. People never use the “shift” key.
