MANY 15-year-olds don’t know what they want to be when they grow up. Abby Harris knows she wants to become an astronaut and isn’t letting anything stop her.
According to Harris’ Internet blog, Astronaut Abby, she has wanted to be the first astronaut to walk on Mars since she was 5 years old.
Harris wrote that at the beginning, most people didn’t take her dream seriously. But she stuck with (坚持) it.

They talked for an hour and Parmitano agreed to become her mentor. Now Parmitano is in the International Space Station. Harris e-mails him every day to learn about his experiences.
It’s not easy to become an astronaut, but Harris is confident about herself.

Andy rode slowly on his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked up to the sky. What he saw frightened him. A huge group of bees filled the sky like dark cloud and seemed to be heading angrily towards him.
With no time to waste Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding quickly without knowing how to escape the group. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping quickly, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his fear increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive(敏感的) to bee stings (蜇). Last time a sting had put him in hospital—and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him. “When you are in a dangerous situation, don’t panic. Stay calm, use your brain and think your ways out of it. ”
On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly from the chimney(烟囱) of the Nelson family home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining around. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He guessed that the bees would catch up with him soon.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a small pond used by Mr. Nelson to water his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he jumped, disappearing below the surface and away from the bees. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees have gone. Pulling himself out of the water, he walked up the hill and rang the doorbell. Mr. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.
“You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover(恢复),” laughed his mother. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic!” But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.

Meyer has been crazy about writing since she was young. She got her first lesson in story-telling from     grandfather, who gave her words of love. He set off her imagination and influenced her much. Meyer always had stories running      her head and as soon as she could write, she put them down on paper.
Meyer      remembered the call that changed her life. It was Tuesday, February 18th, when the     rang in the kitchen of her Los Angeles home. On the line was Marty Banderas, a literary agent (代理) to whom she had sent a copy of her novel three weeks earlier. She asked Meyer some    information, like age and health condition. Meyer felt      and asked what that was about. Banderas only replied, "I've just sold your      for one and a half million dollars!"
She sat down in shock. She had written over fourteen novels in twenty years, but each one had been     by publishers(出版商). Many people would have been discouraged (气馁的),     not her. Each time, she just got down to writing another one. Her husband advised her to find something else to do, but she never     . Seeing this book published was the most    thing that has ever happened to her.
Now she is a      of three children, but she has never stopped     , turning out novels between kids and dishes. She is writing another novel now, and she expects another success. Yes, her belief (信仰) has brought her     , and it has changed her life    . Meyer is very confident that she will enjoy a more successful and meaningful life as long as she keeps on with her dream.

Sudha Chandran, a famous dancer from India, had to have her right leg cut after a car accident. She was also cut off  on her career (事业) road.
