Orlando Bloom is a famous actor ( 演 员 ), but his life was not always successful.

When he was at the age of seven, the doctor said he was a boy with dyslexia-difficulty in reading. It made his school years very difficult. His mother tried to make him think it was something special and he was going to be great with it, but he often felt stupid and useless. He never let his classmates know how difficult school was for him, but young Orlando was often angry and frustrated, because of his difficulty in reading. His mother helped him a lot at home, and he took many after-school classes and studied hard, but his mind moved faster than the words could come out. He says that he “had to work three times as hard to get 1/3 of the way.” He never read aloud.

Then Bloom found acting and learned it for three years at the acting school. He met a great teacher there. He told Bloom to learn the thoughts ( 思想) and forget the words. Playing different roles (角色) helped him very much. Through acting, Bloom could overcome (战胜) his dyslexia. And he wanted tobe an actor from then on.

Bloom asks kids with dyslexia never to worry about it but to find other ways to get success. “If you can overcome this difficulty, you are going to be much successful than anyone else.” Bloom says.

People, animals, and other things make sounds (声音).

Sounds can be loud (大声的) or quiet, happy or unhappy.

Sounds are very important. Most people and animals use sounds, to communicate (交流) with each other. Many things also make useful sounds. Drums (鼓) and pianos bring us music. Bells in school tell us to have classes on time.

What is sound? Well, there is sound when an object (物体) vibrates (震动), or moves (移动) back and forth very fast. A vibrating object makes the air around it move. This is how sound travels. For example, when a driving car passes by, the air around it vibrates. When the vibrating air gets to your ear, you hear the sound of the passing car. We call the vibrating air sound waves (声波).

There are different kinds of sounds. Some sounds are loud. Others are quiet. The loudness of sound is called volume (音量). Very loud sounds are bad for your ears. Be careful around loud sounds. Cover your ears with your hands when you hear them, or move away from the loud sounds. When you use earphones to listen to music, make sure it is not too loud.

Sounds are everywhere in our life. Enjoy the sounds of the world and be careful with your ears!
