As school kids, we have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. 1.You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.

Once you have found a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to achieve your dream? Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that realizing our dreams 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. 2. In fact, everyone can realize their dream. The first thing you must do is remember what your dream is.

3.Keep telling yourself what you want, and you will realize your dream faster. Do this step by step. A dream cannot be realized in one day. A big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.

You must also never give up on your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to realizing it. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. 4.Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

5. But it is OK as long as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

A.Or they can be small.

B.Don't let it leave your heart.

C.Having a happy life means giving.

D.You need to decide what is most important.

E.As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little.

F.Then it may help them to be confident to face challenges.

G. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says.

Thomas Edison was an American inventor. When he was 7 years old, his mother had anappendectomy(阑尾切除手术). But it was too dark. So Edison put mirrors(镜子)near oil lamps (油灯) to light up the room

The story is in a Chinese textbook for primary school students by People’s Education Press(人民教育出版社). Perhaps many of you have read it before. But the publisher (出版社) recently said itwill cut out this story. That’s because many people think it’s not true. Many believe that the world’s first appendectomy was in 1886. But when Edison was 7, it was 1854.

The publisher also said it will not use some other stories. For example, there’s a story about the first US President George Washington. The story says young Washington cut down a cherry (樱桃) tree in the yard of his house. But in fact, there was no cherry tree in the area at that time

So what’s the problem? Experts (专家) say that some editors (编辑) care too much about the educational meaning of stories, without checking if the story is true first.

The publisher says, in the future, they will pay greater attention to the truth of the stories in the textbook. “We will invite experts to check our stories,” it said in a statement.
