Many textbooks are not written in the kind of English that we speak，every day．In fact，sometimes the reading is so difficult that it almost seems like a foreign language．In a way，it is the language of science．You should not expect to be able to read a difficult science passage the same way you read an interesting story，you should not expect to read it easily and all at once．Instead，you may have to read it several times through，catching on the meaning of difficult words，going back over difficult sentences，and finally putting the whole thing together．Do not be discouraged if the whole passage doesn't make sense to you at first．You  need to pick it apart patiently until you can understand it．

These are the steps to follow when you' are reading something difficult:

1．Start to read normally until you run into a sentence that doesn't make sense to you．

2．When a sentence doesn't make sense，go back and read it again more slowly．

3．Look for any words you don't know in the sentence．Try to understand their meanings using word parts and context clues（上下文线索）．If necessary，look them up in the dictionary．

4．Look at the next few sentences to see if they explain more about the sentence you are working on．Do not read very much farther ahead until you understand what is being said．

5．Finally，read the sentence again．Try to put it into simpler words．

6．Read through the passage once．Try to understand all the hard parts well．Then read the whole passage once more at a usual speed．This helps you to put all ideas together．

The steps sound a lot harder than they are．It is really just the normal way good readers understand anything that is difficult to read．After you have done the best you can this way，you should always feel free to ask for help from your teacher，if you have one．

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