       “I remember, dear,” Rita said with a smile. “When we married, you always gave me the bigger part. Why do you give me the smaller one now?”

As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.

       Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?

       Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.

       In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.

       You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.

       Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence (智力) and feelings. In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot sometimes and very cold sometimes. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.

       The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 study by scientists showed that the IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often do worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).

Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But big people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.

Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is “good weather” for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.

Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s fault.

54.___________ can have a bad effect on health.

   A. Hot and wet weather                      B. Good weather

C. Warm weather                           D. High intelligence

55. People may have more intelligence when _____________ comes.

   A. a rain       B. very hot weather       C. a wind        D. low air pressure

56. Low air pressure may make people ________________________.

   A. forgetful           B. sad           C. angry           D. tired      

57. In “good weather ”of 18℃, _______________________.

   A. people are very forgetful              B. people can’t do their work well

C. thin people feel cold                  D. people are in better health

“What would you do if you were the mayor(市长) of your city?” We asked some students from different cities. Here’s what they said:

Deng Chuan,15, from Dazhou

       With the development of modern industry(工业), more and more waste water is being poured into the Zhouhe River, It has caused serious pollution. The river is becoming so dirty that few living things can live in it. So, if I were the mayor, I would order all the factories that pour the waste water into the river to close down. As we all know, water is the source (根源) of our lives. It is very important to protect water.

Zhang Yan, 14, from Chengdu

       Our city is more and more beautiful. But sometimes it’s not convenient for the blind. There are not enough pavements(人行道) in our city. Some of the old ones are broken. They may not be safe to walk on! If I were the mayor of our city, I would build more pavements for the blind.

 Wang Lili, 16, from Chongqing

       There are more and more old people in our city. And there are not enough places for them to relax and enjoy themselves. So, if I were the mayor, I would build an activity center in each residential(住宅) area for the old. So old people can play cards or chess. This will make old people not feel lonely any more and spend remaining years comfortably.

58. What does Deng Chuan care for?

   A. Water pollution.                     B. Air pollution.

   C. Pavements for the blind.               D. Activity centers for the old.
