Brittnie Pemberton listened attentively as Jim Herrick took her and her mother, Tanya, on a brief tour of San Diego State University on Thursday. Her dream is much closer to reality after she received a promise from the university. The university promised that she would get a full four-year scholarship to the school as long as she met the entrance requirements.

Brittnie, 10, laughed. Her mom cried.

They live at the Salvation Army Door of Hope, a living center for homeless women and their children. Photojournalist Linda Solomon met them in August when she came to the facility and taught boys and girls, ages three-and-a-half to 13, how to take pictures. She gave them all disposable cameras and told them to capture images that reflected their dreams. The children's images - a big house, a church, a playground, a backyard and more - are kept. This is a project called“Pictures of Hope" organized by the Salvation Army

"I wish to go to college, so I took a picture of the sign out in front of San Diego State University," Brittnie said last month. The Fletcher Elementary School fifth-grader was pointing to the Christmas card bearing her photograph.

Adrienne Finley, development director at the Salvation Army, hosted a reception for Solomon, who told Finley about the president of a small university who gave a child the scholarship she dreamed of last year.

Finley called his old friend, Herrick, who serves as the SDSU President. "We have a wonderful opportunity here to make a difference in a little girl's life," Finley said. Soon her mom and Brittnie were face to face with SDSU President Jim Herrick.

"You must be Brittnie," he said, reaching out to shake her hand. She quickly pulled her hands out of the pockets of the new SDSU sweatshirt she had been given that morning.

They sat down at a table in his office and talked about college, about science, about her love of math and his hope that she and other girls wouldn't lose interest in those subjects, as happens to many girls as they grow older.

Then they talked about how much discipline she would need over the next eight years to make her dream come true. Both signed the paper outlining their agreement to the terms of the scholarship. Back outside on the sunny campus, Brittnie admitted she's tempted sometimes not to do her homework. "But not anymore," she said.

     The career of Henrik Ibsen was directly influenced by his childhoo. In later years, the great
playwright remembered only a cruel, angry father, forced by business defeats to move the family
to an old farm outside Skien, Norway. Ibsen's mother, no longer welcomed in the homes of her
wealthy friends, started to suffer from depression. At sixteen, the young Ibsen left home, working
as an appretice(学徒)in Gerimstad.
     Failure, for Ibsen, became a way of life. Catalina, his first literary attempt, was impossible to
sell. The privately printed book was eventually sold as packing paper to a grocer. Ibsen sought
admission to the university in Oslo but failed the entrance examinations. He tried a career as a
journalist, without success. As a stage manager, first in Bergen, then in Oslo, he did better, but
lost the latter job when the theater closed down. The experience was not altogether wasted. At
Bergen, Ibsen's agreement required him to provide one new play each year, and although none
of the five he produced was well received, the requirment forced him to learn the techniques of
his trade.
     In 1864, Ibsen took his wife and baby son to Rome, Italy, where they spent five years living
in poor conditions. On the edge of starvation, he wrote Brand, dealing with the subject he knew
best: failure. Six months after he sent Brand to Danish publishers, his fortune had changed completely.
The play was brought out in March, 1866, becoming an immediate success. With Brand and Peer
Gynt, written in the same period, Ibsen won recognition at last. Awarded an annual fixed payment
and the title of national poet by Norway, he dropped his shabby clothes and became a well-dressed,
neatly barbered, distinguished writer.
1. Which of the following best describes Ibsen's childhood?
A. Lonely.  
B. Peaceful.  
C. Unhappy.  
D. Surprising.
2. Ibsen benefited a lot from his experience as _______.
A. an apprentics      
B. a university student  
C. journalist    
D. a stage manager
3. Ibsen's first successful work was written in ____.
A. Grimstad    
B. Bergen    
C. Oslo  
D. Rome
4. What can learn from the passage?
A. One is never too old to learn.      
B. Experience is the best teacher.
C. Failure is the mother of success.    
D. Wisdom is better than gold or silver.
