In a movie, a woman reads a storybook to her friend’s daughter. As they approach the last page, she reads, “… and Cinderella and the prince lived happily ever after.” She closes the book and looks at the young girl, adding, “ You know, things don’t always happen like this in real life, I just think you should know that now.”

We were all raised on fairy tales with glass slippers, brave princes and magic! It didn’t take too long to realize that stories like that aren’t necessarily true. In real life, you learn that glass slippers are really uncomfortable, no prince is perfect and magic doesn’t always work.

So what do you do when the way you planned things is not the way they turned out?

Know that parts of your fairy tale have already been written, and sadly, there’s not much you can do about those first few chapters. You didn’t get the best start. Your trust was unexpectedly betrayed (背叛). You didn’t get the job. Whatever falls and failures happened in your past, there’s still more to the story.

Your life has a lot of contributors (投稿者), and you are the editor-in-chief. You take what’s there and create the masterpiece (杰作). All the good pages and the bad can come together to make a beautiful adventure.

When you find yourself wishing your life was more like the fairy tales, remember that in some ways it already is. There will be dragons, bad witches, great romances, winding roads and friends to help you along the way. Live your life carefully and positively as if you are writing a long story. Whether it’s a comedy, tragedy or a little of both, the pen is in your hand. How it ends is all up to you.

What happened to that brilliant idea that you once had? Did you it because you thought that it was just a little thought? Have you ever what that little thought would have become if you had acted on your instincts (直觉) if you had paid more attention to it?

Imagine a , where you are sitting at home watching television or reading a book, suddenly a light is on in the dark tunnel of your mind as a thought or an idea crosses your mind. The thought your attention but seems so meaningless and you are tempted to it, but wait a minute! That thought could be the potential beginning of the you have so much wished for.

As the thought crosses your mind, your senses become alert and you suddenly see a possibility, a solution, or find the answer to a problem whose solution has escaped you. It is almost as if a wise man has the perfect solution into your ear or awakened your senses to a reality, thereby bringing light to your life. It is like finding the piece of jigsaw puzzle (拼图游戏). This becomes an amazing moment and everything freezes around you as you excitedly try to grasp the practicality of that but powerful thought.

Your self-confidence and enthusiasm increase as you become of the great possibilities that can if that little thought is acted upon. This becomes the moment to build upon that thought and to put any ideas that are streaming from that little thought for later review. meaningless little thought or ideas when acted have a potential to explode into great projects. Many successful projects have been fromthe little positive thoughts that were carefully protected and recognized as bricks to great things.

Don't waste a(n) to act on a potentially brilliant idea. You don't have to wait for a major idea, or approval from your peers in order for you to act on that little thought.

That little thought or idea is the 55 of great things if you decide to follow it through.

I was a very luck girl. Many girls didn’t know they could participate or even be good at sports, but I never needed to be told that because I grew up with my grandmother who was a great Olympian. Even today, many girls need that extra nod in sports, but where can they get it?

Winners Never Quit by Mia Hamm

This picture book has a great message about how important attitude is in sports. I especially love the main character who is a child. This makes little girls and boys find themselves in similarly frustrating situation. You will find yourself saying “Winners Never Quit” a lot reading this book.

This book takes the story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and personalizes it for young readers. Many young girls who love sports more than princess will like the main character and hopefully understand her desire to do what she loves.

Wilma Unlimited by Kathleen Krull

It’s a true story of Wilma Rudolph, an African-American Olympian who, despite having polio(小儿麻痹) as a child, became the first American woman ever to win three gold medals at one Olympic Games. What did Wilma have in her corner? Not much more than great determination. This story is incredibly inspiring and the illustrations(插图) by David Diaz bring the amazing facts straight to your heart.

Basketball Belles by Sue Macy

This book is set in 1896 and the attractive illustrations by Matt Collins take readers back to that time. The author takes you back into that gymnasium and makes you see not only how amazing that first game was for those devoted women who played in it, but also how important it was to all the women that have played basketball ever since.

There were many people2.were waiting at the bus stop, and some of them looked very anxious and 3.(disappoint) .when the bus finally came, we all hurried on board. I got a place next 4. the window, so I had a good view of the sidewalk. A boy on a bike5.(catch)my attention. He was riding beside the bus and waving his arms. I heard a passenger behind me shouting to the driver, but he didn’t want6. (stop) until we reached the next stop. Still, the boy kept 7. (ride). He was carrying something over his shoulder and shouting. Finally, when we came to the next stop, the boy ran up the door of the bus. I heard an excited conversation. Then the driver stood up and asked,8.anyone lose a suitcase at the last stop?” A woman on the bus shouted, “Oh, dear! It’s 9.(I)”. She pushed her way to the driver and took the suitcase thankfully. Five others on the bus began talking about what the boy had done and the crowd of strangers10.(sudden) became friendly to one another.

Children’s lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years. But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?

It’s difficult to look back on one’s own childhood without some element of nostalgia(怀旧的). I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them, playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or exploring the nearby woods. My parents scarcely appear in these memories, except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure.

These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed dramatically. Firstly, families are smaller. It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn’t time to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child. As a result, today’s boys and girls spend much of their time alone. Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home, inside. This is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldn’t dream of letting their children play outside by themselves.

Finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different. Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood. The irony(讽刺) is that so many ways of playing games are called “interactive”. The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today.

Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same.

1.What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first paragraph?

A. To get people’s attention and lead in the topic.

B. To gather people’s opinions on childhood.

C. To show who the passage is written for.

D. To compare the childhood lives of two generations.

2.Which is NOT a reason for the changes?

A. Families are smaller today.

B. Parents worried too much about their children.

C. Toys can be played by children alone at home.

D. It’s too dangerous to play outside.

3.What has the writer focused on in the fourth paragraph?

A. Young people today shouldn’t play electronic games.

B. Some games that young people play today aren’t really good.

C. Computer and video games have replaced the board games.

D. Board games are much more interesting than computer games.

4.The writer’s attitude towards the childhood changing is ________ .

A. approving B. unconcerned

C. objective D.optimistic
